morning, just sitting here having a cup of coffee and resuming my daily morning routine which is writing on here atleast once a day. so far no gambling urges have taken over me but its only tuesday. I just cant wait for the day i can finally say I have stopped full on..gambling doesnt control me anymore.
Morning diary...sorry i wasnt online yesterday i had alot going on yesterday with therapy. things are looking up though for me..my family and i are doing better. i still havnt cheated once so i'm quite proud of myself and im slowly getting there.. i have a good feeling about this.

Nothing to say but
Well done you.
Recovery is a gift enjoy it, the rewards are never ending
duncs stepping forward never back.
Thanks duncan..its been pretty tough but not impossible as the possibilities are endless. i just take it on day at a time now and concentrate on the more important things in life ie my children and husband..now more than ever Im just doing what i can to do the right thing
Hi Julie thanks for the support. and yes havnt felt this positive in a while so fair play to me and everyone else that is doing right by the book. we just have to stick together emotionally and realise day by day that we really are better off gamble free 🙂 happy days to all
Morning dairy, i still have my urges but luckily i still have the blocking software installed on my computer so thats a big help for me. family and i are slowly getting out of the red with a little while to go yet but fortunately we aint in debt so im real pleased about that.
Morning diary im still here, still going strong..cant tell ya exactly how long its been since i had my hiccup that ended up putting me and my family in the s*****r at a guess I'd prolly say just over 3 weeks. its not long but its still a start..my goal is to say its been 3 months..then 6 months, a year and then finally be able to say i havnt gambled since.
Morning Diary..still here 😀 just writing to say that things are still slow but again..always best to take it one day at a time..i manage to do things to keep my mind busy from the urges so its helping alot

The old impatience of the compulsive gambler!! something I share with many others, the want to see instant results, gambling offered those, inevitably the Wrong ones!!
Well it is true it is one day at a time, a job for life, there is no cure, medicine or magic potion
We are all the same whether it is day 1 or day 1000 we each day have a choice to make, one which will without doubt better our lives.
You did win because you did stop.
For that take a bow.
Be proud and most of all be kind to yourself
Duncs stepping forward never back.
Hi duncan..thanks for the support and yes some of my gambling side does rub off on my posts so i apologize. I thank god that my win is going to be my last..and like you say..one day at a time..for every day i dont gamble and make a deposit is another day that i win.
Nikki
My friend you have nothing to apologize for, by writing your thoughts here I find is great therapy, keep unloading the trash.
Leaving nothing but a winner.
Keep making the right choice for you.
duncs stepping forward never back.
🙂 Thanks duncan..I really have come quite a way to get where I am now so i'm very thankful. my only wish is luck to everyone on their recoveries now 🙂
morning diary, things are a little edgy with my partner but atleast we're working through it..gonna set up a marriage counselling session next week so thats a plus for me.
Happy saturday diary..still trying to get out of the red that i left us in over a month ago..dunno why i never thought of the after effects itd have. or maybe i did think about it but my dark gambling addiction made me momentarily put it in the back of my head when i had my relapse. either way..im just glad to be rid of the easy way of gamble ie blocking software.
Hi Nikki
Now the red mist has cleared it looks like you are thinking ore clearly. Keep working away at your debts and they'll be gone in due course. Stay away from any forms of gambling too. Keep it simple and do the right things and the right things will happen
Take care
