Greg
Well done on 2 weeks, that's a fantastic achievement.
Great you're getting out and about, learning to love life again and leaving the horrible gut wrenching feelings behind.
Day 15
Thanks for the comment steve it's good having the option of getting out and about instead of spending weeks moping about with no money and scrimping around, gonna go fishing today me thinks.
Things are starting to take shape
Greg
Compulsive gambling becomes a habit, so it becomes a normal thing to do, so the mind just accepts it.
So it's important to occupy the mind with other things, so it realises, that it isn't the normal thing to do and there are many other things we can be doing.
I'm not a fishing man, but I do see it as is one of lifes great escapes, particularly if in a secluded location. It's the sort of activity that can help free the mind of everything else.
Day 16
Alls well, good day fishing yesterday then a kids party with my lad, good not to be checking horse results and football scores every 2 minutes and actually engaging with people, it's all starting to take shape
