Day 33
Absolutely no money left till pay day (next week). But have fuel and money to park to get to work, and food in the fridge. House is warm and I have minimal urges to gamble 🙂
Yes definitely looking forward to pay day or pay out day as it always is. Although u have nothing left spare u have enough which is better than what we have when we gamble which is less than nothing (more and more debt)
the Great to see urges are minimal. Take it one day at a time. Clocking up the numbers now what's ur PB? Xxx
Day 36
Stayed up after OH half went to bed last night, would usually use this time to have a sneaky solitary gamble but the thought only entered my head once and I dismissed it. Just the demo, my head said.....I said no.
And so many casino adverts! Every time I said, no thanks, I'll keep my money!
PB is 114 days. So want to surpass this and ideally never gamble again
Day 37
No urges to gamble (well, maybe a couple of intrusive mental images) but feeling stronger with each day. Unfortunately the debt is still with me but am making a reminder of change to be made rather than a reason for further self destruction and harm.
Trying to come up with ideas for rewards/healthy alternatives but everything just seems to be like a replacement ATM rather than a healthy choice. E.g. Meals/deserts cakes, alcholholic beverage, cigarette etc, etc.... I'm liking the idea of massage, nails or Beaty products for pampering but this costs money. Need to shift the guilt for treating myself and see it ge what it is. A much needed change.
Well done you. It's strange how we have easily wasted so much money and yet think a massage etc is expensive and we can't treat ourselves! I do it too. The massages I have been having are half price. At the end of the day I say to myself well that's 20 spins etc. I could have spent that in x amount of time and had no real pleasure. Seriously girl u deserve it. Check out wowcher and Groupon. There was one local to me which had a manicure for £6!
As always proud of u. Stay strong
Or a small bunch of flowers are a good idea. Get them from £3 and they are a visual reminder too xx
Just popped over to see how u r. One day at a time x
No way, we posted to each other within in minutes of each other and just after I wrote 'two of a kind'! Lol.
I'm doing ok thanks, still get worried about OH gambling but I cannot control what he does I can only be responsible for my own actions 🙂 6 week eve! Yay
Well done red. The debt will only go one way the longer you're gf. Try not to stress about it.
Whoop on 6 weeks babe x
6 weeks 1 day Woop Woop!! 😀
