day one of my diary I have not gambled for 7 days and im feeling good I'm not gonna dwell on the money I have spent over the years cos it will eat me up friday will be a tough time because I will have been payed so I will come on here and update my diary and read the stoories of other people which will give me strength to carry on being gamble free xx
Good luck!
I am on day 2 and had some urges earlier so I came on here and read some stories and they've gone away for now.
hi i too am finding readin these stories and other peoples experiences helpful and whilst im on here im not gambling,, i just wish the demon voices would go away , good luck with your recovery x
yes reading the stories brings back the reality of what gambling really is. Maybe a win in amongst all the losses but the money is all going to go at some stage sooner rather than later. To hear stories of peoples recent woes help to remind me how I felt when I lost
hey guys thanks for replying we can all work through this together xx
