I have the same problem pal just got to keep on going... thinking about it too much has caused me to relapse in the past. Just leave it in the background somewhere... I know that is mega mega tough but what's the alternative? There is no other rational alternative and don't even think of the irrational one...
End of the day you're doing great so don't f it up! Keep going mate.
Slipped.. This was always going to happen. I can't come to terms with the fact it will take 2 years to pay off this debt, essentially working for nothing. I can't get the financial damage out of my head.. I don't think I can do this.
I think about this debt every single second of every single day.. The fact my family don't know it exists and I will have to chip away at it secretively is a horrible feeling. £200 each month in interest is also making me sick. How can I move forward?? 26 days in, thinking I have made good progress and then I spend a grand in half an hour. I don't have any energy left to fight this..
Ouch Mask,
This addiction thrives on secrecy friend, and you are doing your head in by worrying about your secret debt, and the interest you are paying back each month.
If you can't be honest with your family, be honest to you, get a payment interest free plan, that you can afford comfortably, even if it is a pittance, and then accept the debt, don't worry about paying it off quickly, even though you have just lost a grand, it's not about the money, this addiction, just wants you to play and play and play.
Draw a line now on your debt, get a plan, and not least be honest with you, until you accept this this addiction will keep progressing.
Take care Mask and get safe
