Finally coming up to 2 weeks gf and I can honestly say I feel amazing I feel so good now I really doÂ
I'm sleeping better as I'm not worrying anymore about money and how I'm going to get it I'm not worried anymore and I know I still have a very long way to go but I know that this is it and this is real I am never going to gamble again because I want to have this life of fun laughter and excitement because I can tell you one thing I am so so happy nowÂ
I have support I have help from loved ones and it really feels amazing it really doesÂ
I am just still so grateful for this group and everyone's words on here and everyone's journeyÂ
We have got this and we can all do this for a better lifeÂ
Love to everyoneÂ
It does get better I promiseÂ

Well today is exactly 14 days gf 2 weeksÂ
I honestly can't believe it I cant believe I'm even here writing this I really cantÂ
If anyone had said to me that I was going to be 2 weeks of not gambling I would call you a liarÂ
I am so so proud of myself because I have done it for years on and offÂ
And now sat here 2 weeks and I feel amazingÂ
I'm actually sleeping now finding new things to do best bit of it all playing on the xbox with my friends is really getting me through itÂ
Yes I have money in the bank still got some debt to pay but my loved one is going to help me with this so it will be paid of in 2 monthsÂ
So I have to be a bit tight on my self but it's for the long run and my future I will get there slowly but surely but I git this and I know its going to get better
Â
Have a good day xxÂ

7days is amazing for me especially after I did have a bad month last month I chased my losses to.the bitter end something I'd never done I suppose that's what made me realise enough u can't go on like this and that's what made me want to turn my life around I am sleeping better too which us a bonus good luck in ur journey I always say I'd u want something in life this bad youl get it oh and I've got money in the bank winner winner didn't think I'd say I'd have money in the bank I was always on minus x
@littlemix that has been me with the minus in the bank account and I hate it really I do but I have to focus and prove to me loved one that I can stay clean for 2 months and then they are going to help me pay the debt i have and I will be debt freeÂ
To celebrate my 2 weeks I just went for a 2 mile run haha crazy I know but it keeps my mind busy and clearÂ

Â
No looking backÂ
Well done though your doing amazing always here to chat if you need to and thank you for being here to chat to me as it really does help xxÂ
thanks for these wordsÂ
I am not rushing into having a baby and getting married like now we have just been talking about it because me and my partner aren't young we are in our 30's and I'm not saying that I cant get pregnant or what not but it is harding for someone of my ageÂ
I dont want any sympathy or anything like that but I have had a lot of friends have miscarriage and lots of other problems not saying that's me but I don't want to leave it any longer we have spoke about having children in the next few years and also spoke about getting marriedÂ
Â
Like I have said in my journey my loved ones know everything and are supporting me and helping I have done everything I need to do and I feel greatÂ
My relationship is great everything is greatÂ
Sorry if this is a bit negative towards you but it's up to me and what I do with getting married and pregnant but I never said it was happen right nowÂ
Well its official as of now I am one whole month of being gf I am so happy never felt betterÂ
I got this I am living a whole new life a whole new me I dont get urges anymore potential new job got interview this weekÂ
I am never going back to that cruel cruel horrible addiction I had everything is still blocked and its staying that way I have just done gamstop again for another 5 years gamban is on every device in my houseÂ
I feel so in control of my life now I know its only been a month but I'm just so positive about it all and I'm just looking forward to my future yes still taking it day by day still writing in my diary every day but I got this I truly truly got thisÂ
Well here we go again back to it I have relapsed after 2 and a bit months of not doing it today I went and gambledÂ
Â
£300+ I won it back and it will take a while to get back but why why why why whyÂ
Â
But I have finally told my partner everything about the loans about the payday loans and how much money I actually owe out and he has paid the lot for me I didn't want him to nor did I ask him to I have to pay every little penny back no questions askedÂ
Â
He has everything now my bank details my card the use to everything I ownÂ
Â
The house is all signed up to gamban now I have joined a gamblers anonymous meeting every Tuesday where I live as I really need helpÂ
Â
My partner has said this is it if I don't stop now or he finds out I have done it again we are done and im outÂ
Â
I am so ashamed of my self right now I am a gambler and I need to admit to myself no more secrets no more lies and trying to hide it I need to own my mistakes because this addiction is realÂ
Â
I have done this for years on and off in secret in hidingÂ
I have to start all over again so tomorrow will be day 1 again but this time I am going to get help as I really need it truly I can't take this addiction on my own anymore ia am stressed and can not stop the tears from my faceÂ
