Massive test and well done for coming through.

All my mates like a football bet and it is awful being out in there company gambling on anything that moves , in my early days I had to leave the pub the pressure was too much.

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.

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.
