Day 11 - saturday is a hard day for me with all the sport on but plan to keep busy to fend of those urges early days still but starting to believe i can do this, money is tight but all my own doing, heres to a gamble free weekend
Home alone this afternoon, thats when i would have done my gambling...... think i will just come on here when the urges strike found it does really help me .
How you doing? Hope you've got though the urges on this tough day. Stay strong.
Done ok today thanks for asking Change, tried to keep busy and my mind on other things, hope you are staying strong and gamble free.
Well done! Really good to hear you've got through today. I'm doing well. Just started telling more and more people about my relapse. Phoned my GA mentor and he helped me. It's tough but I'm more positive now than ever been.

Its always possible to gamble chartom3
even the best blocks can be overcome if a gambler truely wants a bet
Day 15 no urges at all, really feel as if i wont gamble again but cant get rid of the guilt over the money i have lost feel as that is the one thing that is holding me back, hoping over time i can come to terms with this.
Day 16 feeling more positive today still gamble free, taking one day at a time......
Day 18 still gamble free, feeling alot more positive in recent days but still wary that i have to keep my guard up.Money is tight which it is going to be for some time but hope to have . my gambling debts paid this time next year.Wishing everyone a good gamble free weekend.
