Believe you can and you will

Sorry to hear this Tommy. The good thing is that you are admitting it and getting right back on to trying to sort things out. You will get there bud.

Chin up buddy, we'll crack this mate.

When you've relapsed in the past you ain't stopped and carried in this time you admitted it straight away, yes It would of been better to reach out before.

Let's get the basic in place get the time money location triangle smashed apart. Get the blocks built up and make it as hard as possible to gamble when the urge comes.

Thanks for the kind words Mr Wentworh you know I feel the same as you bro.

See you Tuesday Tommy if you need me before then you have my number.

Day 13

Hiya everybody been really busy with work and family so just got a spare half hour to come on and update my diary .

Would of been 8 week sat with out a bet with out my relapse but onwards and upwards way I see it is I lost 24 pound in 8 weeks that's a massive saving for me with the amount of money not spent n gambling.

Feel so.much better in my self feel lot less angry and a lot less stressed about stuff nearly debt free from personally debts and loans and it's good to admit that im starting to feel a lot happier I didn't realise what a hold gambling had on me and I'm glad to let it go .

Went to g a on Tuesday had a framing meeting with Oldhamktf and our group it's a cracking group and set of people and wouldn't no where I would be without it .Not had any urges to gamble since I bet which is wierd no dreams either but suppose that's good as usual get paid Fridays and it's always a tough night day so once again I'm doing overtime at work and Mrs will sort money out I won't be touching it so all bills and debts can be paid .I'll leave it there for now my name's tom.and I'm a compulsive gambler .JFT

Hey there, nope, it’s not me...I’m waaayyyy too old for Facebook 😉

Can’t believe that no-one had the One Day At A Time (ODAAT) handle when I arrived here (didn’t test “We Do Free Biscuits”) but JFT works too huh 🙂

As my GA friend posted to me: “Always focus on one day at a time because if you chase 2 rabbits, both will get away.”

Good to see you getting straight back up on that horse, keep taking your medicine - ODAAT

My name is Kelly and I’m a compulsive gambler.

2 weeks today nice one Tommy.

It’s probably best that you don’t have the access to your account over the weekend.

Although you only lost a couple of quid the last time you gambled it’s still enough to keep you in the cycle. Still credit where it’s due for going back to ga. not to many meetings away from a free beer from Martin now lol

Enjoy your weekend bud

And keep writing

Day 18

Feeling really strong at the minute times have been really hard at the minute and things seem to be easing just a little but they are easing .debts are getting smaller loans are nearly paid my relationship with my other half as been really hard but things are very slowly getting better the big argument with the family regarding my daughter and ex friend seems to have died down (touchwood) and just everything in.lifes seems to becoming that little bit easier .I know I've got to keep all my guards and blocks in place and remember why I stopped but is nice to have these feelings it's been such a long time .Went to GA last night was a great meeting quite a few members old and new had gambled which was selfishly good for.me as it's definitely going to help me.to stay gamble.free this week.and maybe month I'm reading a lot of literature on gambling at min and it's really helping any way I'll.leave it there for now jft
