Day 57
Busy week so far and the gambling urges are dwindling but I'm not getting complacent that's been my downfall in previous attempts, still got the measures in place, take care everyone
Greg
Day 60
Must admit I thought about gambling today but with the measures I put in place I've gladly got through it and am so glad now that I did
Greg
Keep strong Greg, you're at the 2 months stage now, yes 2 months!!! gamble free.
I know from my time of giving up, that you will get urges and temptation to gamble, on and off, because you will be feeling more relaxed. I see you've dropped off the posting a little, another indication, that your mind is saying, you don't need quite as much support as you did those 2 months ago. But the urges are a reminder, you still very much need support, so try to get on and post and read every day. Even if you don't always get a reply, you know that people are reading and willing you on.
Take time to think, exactly where you are now, compared to 2 months ago.
You've made so much progress, spending valuable time with your boy and no doubt having more money available to treat him. If you haven't treated yourself, well I'd say, you've deserved a treat. As for what that is, well something that you'll find enjoyable and something that you'll spend time on, to keep the mind away from gambling.
Day 74
Haven't posted for 2 weeks as my phone got broke but still should have found a way, still haven't gambled and things are going good, thanks for the advice Steve and I will start posting again, have a good weekend everyone
Greg
Day 75
Another weekend safely negotiated gamble free and spending the day with my little lad today, onwards and upwards, moving forward and all that, happy days
Greg
Great news, to see you getting to the 2.5 month mark, soon be 3 whole lovely months, of not wasting money on gambling.
Definitely keep posting, even if it's to say, hey I've made another day a gamble free day.
