Documenting my journey

Hey there

Stop beating yourself up, it's not gonna help! (Personal experience)

Well done on coming clean, it takes so much guts to do that.

Now prove to yourself and your loved ones that you're serious about it. Get support and help.
You're not alone and please use all the avenues possible to help yourself back on the feet (mentally) as it will aid you going forwards.

Don't suffer in silence - we are listening!

A hug from me (((((YOU)))))

Thanks S, that really made me smile. Needed that hug 🙂
I will prove I'm serious and I will never do it again. I wish I admitted it sooner. X

Bal I made the call! Spoke to a lovely guy and he gave me some advice on counselling. I might try online

Payday tomorrow and I'm not dreading it. Eager to make some payments to clear some of my debt. Also heading to the bank tomorrow to close some accounts, set up direct debits and turn on paper bank statements again.
Have a good day all

That's a week done! It has totally flown by. Have not been this happy in a long time. Feels great. Have a good day everyone.

Well done SF the first couple of weeks is very hard,keep plugging away and the 30 days won't be long coming in.

Thanks Stevo

Good to see your still going strong, all the best. Have a good weekend

Hello Double figures

14 days GF today. Struggled to get off to sleep last night. Feeling guilty about what I have done. I have paid I big chunk of debt off this month and still haven't spent a penny of my wages strangely I feel like I can't spend money.

3 weeks gamble free today! Feeling okay, it's odd because I haven't had an urge at all but I do feel really bad about what I did and feel guilty. Need to forgive myself I know but it was so stupid....never thought I'd find myself in this situation
Looking forward to hitting 30 days soon

Well done on three weeks gambling free Slot Fool 🙂 I was a slot fool as well until recently but they are a dead end!!!
You have made the right choice, now you are starting your new life, keep going x

Thanks 4D, 4 weeks now Yay!
I got this 🙂

1st month in the bag 🙂

Well done! So good to see you understand how important it is to take this addiction seriously. Glad you managed to tell your husband, i hope you find it a little easier to talk about now.

Keep going, it's working but its not over. All the best 🙂

Thanks sjwsjw 🙂
Telling him was the best thing I did. He was harsh for the 1st few days but has been there for me ever since.
Pay day in a few days and all I can think about is paying some more off my debt, I'm looking forward to getting that number down a bit more.
Thanks very much for commenting and I'm still taking it one day at a time but feeling much more positive. I log in at least once a day and read people's posts. This forum is helping me no end.
Wishing you all the best in your journey:)
