Change time

Fight for the right thing, seek help and know that we haven't it all figured out here but we are fighting to kill this monster. You have my support champ.....

One week has passed now and I’ve not gambled I’ve not really had any urges as yet. 
Ive stopped everything this time even lottery syndicate at work gone complete cold Turkey which is something I’ve not done before 

The weight of guilt that weighs on me is still heavy , but I have come to realise this is a illness and I need to prevent it and put the same effort into it as I would anything else that was harming me

Still gamble free and no urges . The weight of what I have done in regards to putting myself into debt is weighing heavy on me 

But I know this can be sorted in time if I do not gamble and that is what I going to do 

I feel a strange feeling of the end of a era or something along those lines ,I just hope I can keep this mindset as the thought of gambling makes me feel sick right now 

But I’ve felt like this before and allowed it back in . Guard up and moving on 

Well a Saturday has nearly passed, always have a football bet and normally lose then go and play slots online 

But not today not even crossed my mind not interested long may it continue 

Just a check in to happily say I remain gamble free and I’m already feeling the benefits mentally 

will take a long time to recover other things but I’m go to get there if I can beat this demon 

Another weekend has come and gone and I remain gamble free . Still the shadow of what I have done is standing over me and having a negative impact on my life financially 

But I’m trying to stay positive and know this can all be sorted if I stop gambling for good 

Onwards and upwards 

Another week down for me had my first real urge last night as I was alone as the wife was out and kids were in bed. It came and went quickly but a warning sign that I have to keep my guard up 

Over a month Gamble free you me now and feeling positive about my war against this addiction.

I really want to stop and stop for good and I’m going to give it everything I have  

I not really having as many urges as previous attempts and when I do they come and go quickly 

Has the penny dropped at last i bloody well hope so 

Well done Jamie on a month gamble free, keep up the good work, it's so easy to let your guard down, just remember the misery and stress gambling has caused you.

All the best Rob

Thanks Rob your right although it’s important to look forward I think it’s also good to understand the damage compulsive gambling has done to me mentally. 

Im still going strong and urges not really a issue they mainly occur on a weekend when the football is on but they come and go quickly 

I really enjoying my football again without a bet on makes it so much more enjoyable 

Really feeling like something has changed but I’ve been here before so know it’s imperative I keep my guard up 

Another we or so has passed and no gambling for me . Weekends definitely the time when urges most prevalent but at the minute finding it easy to shrug them off

The debt I’ve got myself into is still weighing heavy on me and causing issues but I know if I do not gamble these will go away with time 

HI Jamie.  A massive well done for avoiding gambling so far.  It is a big achievement.

I share the same crushing guilt and debt through gambling.  I would give anything to re-write my history and not gamble.

Good that you are looking at the triggers and when the urge is strongest.  I am as well but it is not an easy battle.

Still going strong feeling positive about my fight against this addiction still 

Thanks for the comment Thebean it’s horrible knowing the mistakes we have made but there’s nothing we can do about it now 

I think when your gambling you get only think short term and when you stop you have to think long term as the mess won’t sort itself out overnight 

2 months without gambling I’m as determined as ever this will be it 

Still remain gamble free and the urges seem to be diminishing for the moment 

Have to say I feel different to any other attempt almost like a feeling that I’ve grown up or something can’t really describe it 

The thought of starting gambling again makes me feel sick and long may that continue
