hi Nicki

hi nicki

carl

Thanks everyone for your encouragement.

Day 25 and Im feeling good today. Yesterday was a low point for me as had a huge row with my partner and though f*** it but I didn't gamble. I need to stop using those down days as an excuse to gamble. Im glad I resisted as I feel good today. Started placement today and I've got so much to do. Feeling a tad stressed as its my last year of uni and need to do well.

Stay gamble free everyone 🙂

Hi Nicki

Hey well done for getting through that day hopefully u will feel so much stronger for it , if only life could be straight forward it would make our recoveries so much easier , facing up to our life problems is important as not dealing with them can take us down a slippery slope , I gambled to hide away the pain of how bad my life was and it took some strength to get myself sorted

This site has helped me so much and doubt I would be in the position today if I hadn't had found it , the support on here is amazin and its great to see that u play ur part in supportin others and making great strides forward in ur own recovery

Really pleased for u

Day 26

Nearlly at the 4 weeks mark whoop whoop. Been so busy today not really had time to think about anything. I seem to of been craving sweets at the moment so have gone and bought myself a tub of candy king tonight. better spend a fiver on that then on the gambling. My comfort food for those dark days :).

I haven't had any feelings about gambling today at all. My mind has been on other things, mainly fostering. Ive been thinking a lot lately about fostering but know I would never beable to with this addiction. Just a thought at the moment but has been on my mind a lot lately.

Stay strong people

Want to get lights for outside if the house as well, bit to early to be thinking about putting them up but looking forward to buying them.

No feelings of gambling. Enjoy the weekend everyone. Stay strong
