Day 6 begins, all good up to now. I sometime want to read the racing results or look at racing unfortunately that is the deathstar for me. The slowdown in life is boring enough but just have to work around this. Day 6 is another success so I just have to work through today and fingers crossed I start day 7 tomorrow. Mad how it seems like some sort of game but the consequences are so serious. It never seems that dangerous when your in the middle of it.
Day 6

the last two seem hard on Day 7, I have a gambling niggle in my head. I am not going to act on it but I want to act on it. All that means is a look at the racing page or reading about gambling. Before long I am gone again. So far things have been simple and boring. Hopefully that is not always the way but it's early days. I will try keep myself busy today and see where I go.

So I have a mild cold and it's the most annoying thing ever all I can do is focus on my non stop runny nose. I feel like c**P, gambling thoughts are in my head nothing brutal but they are there. I am doing well steering clear of gambling related information and big sports events I thought were important no longer seem so important. Last weekend I was in a bad place, this week I feel crappy this is in all honesty an improvement. I do wish everyone on here a gamble free couple of days at least get to Stephens Day/Boxing Day gamble free. Life will feel somewhat better. It's a long road to some sort of redemption your thinking is so messed up it's scary. Stay Well everyone.

Happy Xmas everyone, I have had the flu for last couple of days and I am a pretty poor patient. All good on gambling front, I do get urges but so far I have fought them off. In the next couple of weeks I will have to do a list of my possible open avenues for gambling and close them. The reason so far I have not ventured here was I was afraid I would gamble even opening them up. But now I have calmed down I will list them and get my wife to close amazing how simple it is when you cool off.
Great to hear you are making progress . Hope you shake off the flu soon !
Don’t make excuses about closing down those accounts , first thing I did after admitting finally to myself I was out of control . If you read my last post on Getting it off my chest you will see the reasons , hope you can draw some kind of motivation or acknowledge the feelings
thanks vulture,

Another day begins I do feel alot better, if I think about it today is a tough day for someone who bets the horses like I do but if I avoid information I genuinely find it alot easier. Good Luck eveyone happy gamble free St Stephens/Boxing Day.
Well done mate. Usually one of the highlights of my year too as love the horses. Was supposed to be at Wetherby races with mates but explained issue and pulled out. Funnily enough I do quite well on sports but if I lost i’d try and recoup on blackjack. Last week I chased a £20 darts loss and blew £48k! (£13k i’d fortunately won but was a pending withdrawal and £35k more). Anyway, we’ll done on getting this far and stay strong today ... I just avoid results then I don’t start thinking I would have backed every winner. Rich
Thanks RSmith39, at this moment I am sick of gambling and don't really want to think about it anymore. I am sitting here going to turn on netflix. Everyone is in bed we had a nice uneventful day, everyday with gambling is a drama. I honestly don't want to do it anymore. Day 11 completed I am still in the day and will be happy to start Day 12 tomorrow. Hope eveyone had a good day

Day 12 all going well so far, still a little sick but getting better. So far while I have had urges I have not has any mis-steps the longer the better with this or even better none at all. I have to stay within the day as trying to get too far ahead is just silly. I have had countless failed attempts so better not to project into the future with regards to recovery and work on the now and just be patient.

Day 13, I am not entirely over my flu and this morning I feel abit down and tired hence some gambling urges but they will pass. I will say how much you notice time slowing down when your not gambling, when your in the zone days pass in a haze anyway onwards and forwards.
