Day 97 GF - No desire To Bet

Really enjoyed watching the little guy on Christmas morning. If ever there was a reason for me never to bet again it is that little guy. I hope one day I can convince my wife that I mean to banish any gambling for good.

Day 98 GF - No desire to bet

I just feel so awful today, so hopeless. This is the lowest I have felt in a long time. I hate my head at times. Nothing seems as if it will ever be better. I have so much sadness, it is so hard at times. I just feel alone, apart from my little boy there is nobody I am close with. Loneliness is horrible and so hard to go through.

I am OK,.My little boy means the world to me so no plans of going anywhere. I am just venting. Sadness is so horrible. I will be OK again soon.

Stay strong all.

Hey there..

Let the feelings come and go. They're not gonna stay with you forever. Feel them, acknowledge them, let them subside.
Loneliness is something I wouldn't wish to my worst enemy as I know how painful it is.

Keep looking ahead, You have little boy ☺, shower him with love & care...also be kind to yourself! It is really important.

Things will start picking up every day you move further from the last bet. You're doing well, smile to yourself..you deserve best things in life!...& You will most definitely get them ☺

Hugs

Find a meeting Ant Ant...Like addiction, recovery can be a terribly lonely place, better tackled with people who understand alongside us.

Keep venting, keep fighting & remember, you’ve survived every single rubbish day you’ve lived...This too shall pass. Stay strong yourself - ODAAT

100 days GF- No desire to bet.

I suppose it is a landmark?Though it just reminds me of the mess my actions caused.

On we go, 101 tomorrow.

Stay strong all.

Hi AntAnt,

Relatively new to the forum but just wanted to say well done ... 100 days is a great achievement, and something I aspire to. It seems like you get very down, but ride it out, think of your little boy, and keep up the great work.

Welcome to the century club my friend 🙂

Regardless of why you are here, this is a huge achievement...Well done & keep up the good work - ODAAT

Thanks All

101 Days GF - no desire to bet.

I saw the docs today. I am now under the crisis team (probably why I went to the top of waiting lists for therapy) I can now walk into the local hospital crisis team unit at any time. Sort of makes me worry a little just how crazy tehy think I am. But I am doing good. Staying positive and looking forward to the future.

I wish you all a gamble free 2018 my friends

Stay strong all
