Day one of many. It's a struggle already.
Hi all this is all new to me I gambled £500 pounds yesterday!!
It started when I was alone on my way back from helping a friend out and paid me cash for it. That was the first urge I got. Then to the bank until I couldn't get anymore money out. That's when it stopped, I just couldn't help myself I was chasing and chasing.
Got no sleep what so ever last night. I confessed all to my partner today she's given me a chance to change my life.
It's crazy I know that I can never win and if I do I'll be in the bookies the next day losing it all.
I've been to GA for nearly 3 years now on and off but still have random days gambling when I'm on my own and have cash or my card. I have agreed with the missus that she's taking my card and giving me an allowance for the week and if I spend it that's it for that week. It worked before so I know it will work again I just don't trust myself with lots of money.
This is the first time I've tried the recovery diary.
Sorry for the long post I just needed to get it all off my chest
