Day 22
Another day done. The morning was quite tough just tiny thoughts entering my head. Managed to get past that and that's now 22 days gamble free.
Day 23
Another day passes without any problems. The weekdays aren't a problem its the weekend that challenges me more. However so far so good another day done.
Day 24/25
Another 2 days pass without any problem. I've got the old firm game this weekend and I've got say 80 pounds put away. Usually I would think that's not enough so I would gamble the 30 and if I win I would have a good night. Lose the 30 probably bet some more and end up having to borrow for my day out. Not now though now I look and realise 80 is more than enough and probably come back with change.
Best thing I did 25 days ago was coming to this decision and I write In my diary so if I'm having a bad day I.can read my entries and remember how.worthwhile it is.
Hi guys. I'm new here but I need to share this my gbling addiction has only been broken through the power of Jesus Christ the son of God Before i became a Christian I was prefuse ROULETTE ROULETTE AND SLOTS I got free Then last year as a Christian I fell back into it , again I lost 1000,s but my only!! Way out was jesus , praying to him And wise Council
There are many good preaches on YouTube on gambaling that I listened to and still went back and gambled But I'm free and came across this forum And I feel for everybody struggling God loves you all and can help you how he helped me Please don't hesitate to respond I can show you guys some great resources And tell you how only through jesus I got free and how you can too
Day 26
Another Saturday done without any problems.
Your right NT if I did win anything probably didnt make my day any better as I would end up gambling it all anyways.
Sunday 1st February
Somewhere along the line I have missed a day.
Sunday went well. Went to football had a drink with my mates told them about not gambling. They where all very shocked but congratulated me on doing so well.
Like I say I've missed a day but Sunday was day 28 and now that's complete that is me now 4 weeks gamble free.
Day 29/30
Another 2 days without many problems. Still get the urge when I walk past a bookies i automatically looknin my pocket to.see much money I have. Thankfully I have the strength to ignore those urges and continue what I'm achieving.
Well done Tom on resisting those urges, and 30 days is great going.

I've been so busy with work and stuff at home I've not had time to update my diary. Although Saturday was quite a tough day. Was in the house doing stuff listening to football and the temptation to bet was very hard to resist. However I took a 3 walk with no bank card and once I returned the temptation was gone.
That's me now at 5 weeks and the difference in me is amazing. Financially I am getting there and soon will be in my best position I've ever been financially. I have some health issues that are improving amazingly since I quit gambling. Stress of gambling can make you very I'll.
5 weeks gone
Well I'm back. I managed 41 days without gambling and I was out with my mates drinking. We put a ten pounds bet on and soon we had 225 pound each. The next day I knew it was a mistake but I was just thinking about how easy the money was and if I gamble sensible I could continue. Well that's been me over a month gambling lying sleepless nights the whole lot.
I was so much happier when I wasn't gambling. Life was a lot better.
Here I go again day 1 starts now
Affected by gambling?
