Hi Jaz

Welcome (back). I am new, just into week 2....want to wish you well.

Thanks for your supportive comments they really do mean so much at the moment, I have downloaded k9 blocker this morning and my husband has chosen the password so that should help take away some temptation. Halfway through day 1 now really hope I can one day say day 100!!!! or even more.... I will try to keep busy and check in everyday x

Hi Jaz

Welcome and keep strong, it is very brave of you to start this journey, I started almost 2 weeks ago and have not stayed focused but with the support on here am willing to keep trying.

I wish you luck for your first of many, gamble free days

good luck hun, we are starting on day 1 the same time, i really hope we are both here on day 100 to say we are free x

Thanks guys, Day 2 today and still being strong, blocks are definately helping. I can't think about the money I have wasted in the past just look to the future and take a day at a time.... Jaz x

well done for today x

dont think about the money hun, think about what you are now going to save money for x

will check back tomorrow and see how you are doing x

Hi I didn't check in yesterday but was at work all day and didn't have internet access, therefore I didn't gamble, Day 4 today and off to work again. I am remaining strong and determined to beat this addiction. Thanks everyone for the support J x

Hi Jaz

Keep going and stay strong

Thanks for the comments Suzanne and 13, well done to you for coming back to the site 13Aug, we all have blips but you need to be strong brush yourself down and try again. Day 5 today for me I am having strong urges but the blocking software is working. Boredom is what usually makes me gamble and I have no plans for today. Think I might go out for a run later and try to get back into fitness. Need to have something to focus on I get bored so easily. Anyway I will take a day at a time and for today NOT gamble. Stay strong all Jaz x

well done on day 4 x

you are doing really well, keep going & be strong

Thanks Laura, I'm really struggling at the moment, having real strong urges to gamble, I hate this addiction and so wish I had never started with it aargh!!! I'm Day 6 today and seem like I struggle ever to get past day 7 so I must stay strong. Trying to keep busy so am going to sort the kids rooms today. Will probably check in later, stay strong everyone we CAN all beat this Jaz x

Day 7 today, I am finding it really tough but the blocks are definately helping, I'm not feeling great physically, feeling really stressed and anxious. I woke up this morning feeling really sick don't know if it's all part of the process or just me, has anyone else felt like this??? Anyway I am going to try to remain strong as I want to beat this addiction more than I've ever wanted to do anything in my life so here goes.... Jaz x

Be strong and positive x

you have done soooooo well to get this far, you can do this!

try a new hobby to fill your time, i spent about 8 hours yesterday writing! Lol

i hope your feeling a bit better soon, thinking of you and hope you have a good day, will check back later x
