My first good night's sleep in a long time. I know it's early days but I feel stronger today then I did yesterday
After a long chat with family members and a lot of tears ive got their support in helping me beat this addiction. I know that everything I do and every penny I spend will be looked at and questioned. I've self-barred all my on-line gambling sites for their maximum 5yrs exclusion. And about to put a parental lock so to speak on my phone, so all betting (over 18's) sites will be unavailable.
This can only help. After looking at what ive been gambling away and how much extra funds will been now available to the household funds is frightening. I know this might sound like I think im cured. But i know im far from it this is just the next step in beating my demon. Ive never been one to try and write down (keep a diary) of what im thinking/feeling but it does help. Reading other people's diaries on here and hearing there Stories and Messages of Support im realising im not Alone and thank them and wish them well with their addictions.
