Hello M,

How are you today?

The start of a new week.

No urges to gamble over the weekend, and don't intend to gamble this week.

Good weekend spent decorating the house with Christmas decs. Wasn't looking forward to Christmas this year, but the kids soon change that opinion.

Have a good week all, and many thanks for the continued support.

Hi mrt,

Thanks for your support and hope you have a better week this week, good to see you posting and taking positive steps to battle this addiction. Nobody said it was going to be easy and it turns out it's not, but it's got to be worth trying to make those changes for a better life.

Catch up in chat soon,

DT.

Still gamble free after my one and only slip, which is how I'm now viewing it.

No urges today, which I'm pleased about.

Feel a lot more positive today.

Take care all.

So fed up. Was doing so well. Don't understand why I keep going back. I can't keep this up any longer. That one transgression has really f****d me up and it's like I have never stopped. Need to start afresh. Tomorrow will have to be day one, again. Could really do with some thoughts and advice.

How are you?

Hi mrt,

Thanks for your support this year and I hope 2010 is more settled for you. You can do this.

Take care,

DT.

Things have not been going well. Enjoyed Christmas, but had too much free time between then and New Year. Have spent the evening reading lots of diaries, including my own in search of inspiration. I am used to being in control of my life, but the last few months have been out of control. That is with the exception of the gamble free time. Then, with the support of this site, I had a bit of clarity in my thoughts. I was motivated. Got to get a grip of this. One day at a time. Will keep posting, as I so want to kick this. Take care all.

Hi Mrt,

Keep fighting the good fight.. never give up giving up.. one day at a time. keep safe... S.A 🙂

Hi mrt,

Its been really interesting reading your diary.

I am starting out - Day 1 for me.

Its funny how you said tuesday was your day. - Saturday is mine, always has beenfrom 6am to 11pm there is sports betting opportunities all the way.

I dred saturday. I'd rather work.

The last 2 weeks have been torturous as a result of my own stupidity. Not sure how many second chances I can keep giving myself.

So today is day 1 again. I have no choice other than to beat this awful addiction.

I spent last night trying to work out what had gone wrong and why I started in the first place but it's all irrelevent. I can't change what's happened only learn from it.

So far, I haven't gambled today. I'll just have to take this in small stages and not look too far ahead.

Take care all

M
