Diary

Well here I am day 14 (2 weeks)

Still no urge to gamble, but still very new. About to start a part-time job which will help filled my time until I get my own job sorted.

Trying to show my family that I want to get us out the situation I have made with debt, a small amount but as they say small steps.

Hope everyone is still progessing with their own journey but also knowing you are not alone.

Happy GF Wednesdat xx

Well done Merry.....sounds like you are doing all the right things. Find what you feel will work for you and work on it.....and don't let your guard down.

Good luck

Here I am day 19.

Still gf free, but a little low as I just want to get my job sorted now so I can move on. I got suspended due to my gambling which was the reason I told my family and called gamcare and since that day have never gambled again.

I feel I can't move on as I can't do my debt repayment until I know about my job and also not knowing if I have a job is taking a lot out of me, with worry and stress. If I can just get that sorted I know I can move on. I would love to keep my job but either way the waiting is hard.

But any way still day 19 still no urges.

Hope everyone else is moving on with their own journeys and staying strong.

Happy GF Easter Monday everyone!!

Hi merry08,

Welcome to GC! It's lovely to see you taking the steps to get your life back on track.
I hear ya worrying about work...that's pants but please keep staying strong, whatever the outcome it won't be darkened by the destructive addiction on top of it.
You can do it, you're in the right place and most importantly you deserve peace and calmness back in your life!

It is long journey with many ups and downs but you will only get stronger every day you abstain.

Wish you well..keep moving on one day at a time

Sandra

Thanks Sandra

Its the lovely comments like your own that makes me realise that I will get there.

I just wish it was a couple of months down the line where I would know which direction I'm going in but that is wishing my life away and we all know that we have to take one day at at time

I hope your journey is going well xx

Another Monday morning.

Another weekend gambling free. Going to counselling again today. Still no urges, but still no way forward with work and debts.

Hopefully this week to get some of these weights off my mind and make me look forward, but as I said last time one day at a time and here I am 7 days later still GF.

Here's to a gf week everyone xx

Day 35, never though I would ever get here, but here I am.

Still no more forward with the work but hopefully soon as this is what is really holding me back from moving on.

The love and support of my family has still been the biggest reason not to go back, but never say never.

My next wee goal is to get ot the 40's 4 days to go

Hey merry...just caught up with your diary....well done you....your doing great....stay safe x

Thanks Loxxie

Wow 91 day for you. 9 days till your magic 100 but one dy at a time

Thanks for your support x

Another gf week passed. Thank God. So low yesterday as I have still not heard anything from my work and can't move forward and I want to move forewared so badly. I want my apth to begin and although things ar going well oin the gambling front until I can ort the debts out I feel I'm in limbo as I can't see how the financial side of things are moving on as well and I want to get over that hurdle with my husband so as a family as well we can move forward.

On a better not 3 days till the big 50.

Been ages since I have been on. Here I am 222 days gambling free. Who would have thought!! I will still say to this day that my biggest motivation for not turning back is my family. I did loose my job in May due in a roundabout way my finances. I have got a new job and just about to make my first payment to my debt repayment I still have a few wee niggles to sort out but hopefully over the next month these will be sorted too. Life is better, I sleep now, although I am posting this at 3.20 in the morning. I know each journey is different and I hope you all have another gambling free day today, will make my total 223
