Debt my 1st diary

Well done Bamb84 day 16 today, we all keep thinking about the debt we have created but at least you've written this down and can see it, just chip away at it and don't add to it if can.

Walking Dead is brilliant and when you have finished it move straight onto another one and keep your mind occupied when you are lonely to help you not think about gambling oh and keep posting each day if can.

Well done Bamb84 - keep going, 15 days is a great start. Really pleased for you. Her'es to the next one, and then the one after that

Thank you burko and wilsy it has helped writing it down guess it gives me a goal to keep to . Loving this walking dead bit gory lol but good box set so far . Good luck to you both lets stay gf

Day 17 of being gf feels good cleaned the house from top to bottom never been so clean lol

Day 18 still gf what a relief . Its sad i can see how much i changed when i was gambling all i wanted was to play bingo on my phone without interuptions id even go to bed early to play and wake up first thing in the morning its all i thought about so bloody stupid when i look back at myself but you cannot see it when your in the grips of it nothing can stop you . The only thing that stopped me was realising i was going to lose my family and my home if i didnt stop plus getting into debt. This month i will pay everything but will be short little which is nothing compared to last month when i nearly spent half my wage on gambling how stupid .i wish i never started playing but i guess its never too late for anyone just got to stay focused and think about your family and that you win everyday we dont play and eventually be debt free 🙂

Hi and many thanks for your post on my page. Stay strong, it can be done. Best wishes, Gazza

Day 19 still gf no urges today thankfully

Day 21 of being gf how wonderful not feeling stressed out and feeling sick from wasting my hard earned money i need to keep remembering that feeling and not get complacent specially with pay day coming up . I am feeling different started to plan more days out which i never would have done before. Anyway gl all stay gf its so much better 🙂

Hi Bamb thanks for your post on my diary and well done on your gf days your doing brilliant. That’s how I started gambling on bingo it takes everything from you. Not sure how much I’ve lost over about 15 years but estimate £100k it’s so sad, written that off now it’s gone and that’s it, best wishes Bamb stay gf x

Hi lulu thanks for your comments i only stopped as i hit rock bottom sad i had to spend everything to see sense . But i definitely feel so much better being gf not going . back . Gl to you too we are not alone at least . stay strong x

Hi cookie thanks for your comment . im glad its helping you . I wrote everything down which i owe to remind myself of what i have done to stop me gambling i brought a little black book just for me and every month plan to write everything i spend until i pay it all off guess it gives me a target to stick too which helps . Cookie doesnt matter what you have lost as long as we stop we can start getting back to normal take care gl hun x

Well done Bamb84, thinking straight I see and hopefully feeling less stressed, keep up the good work
