Day 0

Thanks Pink Lady. You're input is always valuable and appreciated. I've just read through your diary for the last year and I'm so pleased to see that you're doing so well and didn't let the blip completely derail you like it did me.

Onto day 10 today. I don't have any money at all so I know that it's easy for now although I'm ready to quit now and I haven't been for the last year.

@zbgykpo0l3 Hi Jay

This is great to hear 👌. Have faith in yourself that you are strong and determined and you know it is the right thing to do. Can you say that you have every block in place/no more avenues that can lead you into temptation? We all know only too well on here where those avenues eventually lead us to…….. that great big main road of total destruction!👎.

Keeping reflecting back on your diary entries on how well you were doing and how good this was making you feel, financially but just as importantly, physically and emotionally also 👌. Spending time gambling just destroys all three 🙈.

Take care Jay and hope you have a peaceful week ahead in mind, body and soul 🤞🙏🙏🙏.

Thanks, PL. 

You are so right about the good feelings that come back. The peace in life is so good. The anxiety gambling causes is crazy.

Today is day 15 so I have two weeks under my belt. Still not had a penny so the real test will come next week but I am ready for it.

Today is 21 days, 3 weeks since that last bet on the Forest game! Been keeping myself busy and have also been paid and paid bills only. Not enough to cover but better paying 80% of what I need to, rather than 20% and borrowing the rest, still being short and in a bigger mess!

It's progress!

@zbgykpo0l3 Well done Jay 👏👏👏💪.

You know deep down this is the best way forward for you and understand the rewards this will bring now and even more so the further you distance yourself from your last bet.

Can I just ask, when you talk about being tempted to have a bet, are you still able to do so? If yes, you may need to add even further blocks, if you are determined not to waste any more of your hard earned money and you are adamant about remaining g.f. 

You know you can do this. You went 6 months last time and you noted the rewards that brought 💪👌.

You can do this again Jay. Just get EVERY block in place to stop you in your tracks when you get that itch/urge to bet and no doubt, waste even more of your hard earned money 🤞🙏. I just shudder in disbelief these days at the amount of money I would just throw away, some times in only a matter of hours!!😲🙈. I now just say to myself “how completely insane of me”. This however, is due to me distancing myself from gambling for so long now that I am able to see gambling for what it really is 👊👎💪.

Have a lovely Easter and take care.
