back again

ok. so both online accounts closed. k9 web filter gonna be installed. need to go back in bookies and refamiliarise myself with the self exclusion picture. need to do it proper this time.

as it stands now. i have 800pounds of payday loans being paid out next payday which is 3 weeks away. glad i got knocked back on payday loans today tbf. borrow 400 pay back 780 over 3 months *** takers. but gotta play it tight now.

Sorry things aren't great at the moment. I have been where you are now so I sympathise. My life is different now after stopping neasrly a year ago. I am a happy man(Still feeling the occasional urge). It takes time but ask where you want to be in a year's time. Gamblers always want things now which is partly why we try and gamble to win it all back immediately. Make this the time when you really draw a line this evil addiction. You are taking some good practical steps but you have to really want it. There are some tough tempting times ahead but you have to really want to be free. Remember this. Especially on pay day. Completely turn your back on gambling and anything associated with it. Don't give up. DB

Good luck a new dawn, don't let them robbing companies take anymore of your hard earned cash. No matter how much you win you will probably only win to play for longer its a no win situation. I am on day 3, installed K9 and feeling alot more positive that I am going to beat it this time, sick to death of going round in circles, wishing my life away to the next pay day just to go and blow it all again, lifes too precious and short, you can always get more money but you can't get more time

ThNks for your responses. It's appreciated. Really wanna get this month over with. Dec 1st can't come soon enough.

Day one. Nearly done with. I have still got ***** **** app on my phone gonna have to delete it. No opportunity to bet. No accountabavailable. Will see what today brings. Footy. On tv tomorro. Big race meets. At work at the mo. I would nip to books on way home usually put the bets on none today. Or tomorrow or the next day.

Rp app has been deleted. That's it.

so. sunday night. didnt miss the footy bets. wouldnt of won. i have checked the racing results but not on my phone as the app is deleted. i have money in my hand to help me through the month. need to bank this to sort my bills out well sort of. bank account overdrawn. the strife is on nights and i wont be online gambling tonight.

i went in the books the other day to win 100 quid on fobt. i did this in 4 mins. i didnt walk, i kept spinning. and spinning. and spinning. next door next door. big number big number. then u change up and ure big number comes and u aint on. y. y .y. y. do i do it. dum, done. head up walk away

So no bets in November still. Not as if I have the money to do it. I had a few quid the other day and got to the bank and banked it. Not even tempted to invest it elsewhere. Need to get back to the things that are really important and not being bothered on the next horse race or footy score.

It's 1 week down for both of us pal, keep going and be strong ok. I'll be keeping an I eye on your diary for positive updates, particularly when I'm feeling weak or low (well, i'm always low these days!).

Good luck mate. Use this forum as much as possible. I started using this site 5 weeks ago and I find that the the more times I visit, the better. One day at a time. All the best

Hi a new dawn

Hope things are going ok? Well done on the days you've not gambled for, I'm on day four today,

Sending lots of strength Hollie xx

Thanks for your comments nat. Boz. Hollie. It is greatly appreciated.

7 days in now.

1 week

144hrs

I wonder how many of those hours would have been spent gambling or thinking of gambling. There would of been a few

My mates still send txts about there bets but I keep telling em good luck. You have good days but these are out weighed by the bad. I have told em I ain't t interested and to speak to each other.

I keep an eye I on the racing results. I don't want to but I think it's just habit. Hopefully will get out of this.

Feeling a little more positive I am one more week closer to payday. This is a definite trigger and I need to be on my toes when it comes. Got expensive month with Xmas n car mot.

Thanks for reading folks.
