Well done mate u r getting neare the big ton and the century club. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the support Greggsboy, means alot glad to see your still going strong. Day 80 for me today proud to have made it this far but been getting big urges lately which i have have been trying to put the back of my mind, really dont want to undo all the good work....
It's not unusual...I had a horrible day round about day 90! The addiction does not want to let you go but you are stronger now & the urges (which are only that) will pass! Giving in to it now will only drag you further into debt! You must draw a line under your losses because if you don't, chasing becomes a good idea & that's what destroyed most of us!
Keep fighting - ODAAT
Well done mate. Keep it up.
With the football season coming to a end that should help things too. Have you been still watching football? I have found I enjoy sports more when I'm not gambling, my nerves aren't wrecked.
Thanks for the support ODAAT and bdoh2boh2 it really does mean alot when other people take the time to comment on here, you are right ODAAT i need to try and forget bout my lost money cause chasing is what has got me in this mess in the first place and yes bdoh2boh2 glad to see the season come to an end cause i no longer enjoyed watching football because of the gambling but hope to get back into it next season cause it is a sport i love.
Today is 84 days into my recovery..... have found the last few days to be really hard with constant thoughts of gambling and dreaming at night of winning my lost money back.The other night i even looked the odds on a betting site for the first time since i quit and was thinking just one big win to clear my debts. Glad to report i resisted and am still gamble free , just by reading peoples posts on here and posting in my diary has played a big part in that.
86 days still gamble free closing in on my century, finding it hard recently have even found myself looking at the odds of sporting fixtures but thankfully no bets have been placed.Still finding it difficult to let go of the money i have lost but know i need to in order to move on in my recovery.Just have to take it one day at a time....
Day 88....... about to sit down and watch the champions league final and for the first time that a can remember will not be having a bet on the match, did think about it but thats all it was a thought.Feeling alot more positive about the future gamble free...
Day 91....... slowly starting to come to terms that the money i have lost is gone forever still getting strong urges every so often that i could win it back but know thats not an option anymore, closing in on 100 days cant throw all my good work away.
Day 95......... strong urges to gamble recently which i have been finding it hard to put to the back of my mind still finding it hard to forget about money lost but trying to keep busy.Know if i stay gamble free i will have my debts clear in about a years time, heres hoping.....
100 days today nice milestone to reach not been easy by any means but still gamble free and really dont want my count to go back to zero.Been finding it hard recently and have came close to placing a bet a few times but find coming on here helps. Still not fully over the money i have lost but getting there slowly.Would like to thank everyone who has commented on here since i started my diary your comments really do help. 🙂
Welcome to Club 100 chartom3 🙂
It's hard @ the moment because this is a huge milestone...The addiction can feel you slipping away & as we know it hates to lose! Keep doing what you are doing, it's working!
Keep winning - ODAAT
Well done mate Welcome to the 100 club. Remember speaking to you in your early days and so glad you have made it this far. Speaking from experience i found the first 10 days after the hundred the hardest. I became a bit down and really struggled but managed to fight through it and i am now in a really good place and have stopped counting days and setting targets. Hope you continue to win mate and always remember how bad it would be to log in and see that count at zero days.enjoy your freedom
