Day-37, No gambling to report,pleased to say no gambling urges or thoughts which I am very pleased about although I understand it’s a day at a time and to be always on my guard but my thought process is clear that there’s no going back to the chasing of money,gambling when in a bad place or thoughts of just this one last time, no I’m finished with it once and for all,I’m owning this and decided it can go and leave my life as it did not make me a happy soul,just what was the point of it?  it was a unhealthy habit that is staying in the past, no room for it in my life going forward, happy and confident with the measures in place that are as tight  as can be to never go back.
Day-38. No gambling to report, no thoughts to gamble, feeling more confident and determined that gambling will never be part of myself ever again going forward as each day passes,will keep it going as I feel I’m on the right track to be free of it once and for all.
Day -39 all going well, no gambling to report no thoughts to do so,understand a long road ahead and it really is one day at a time being gamble free, bit surprised I have had no wreckless urges to gamble,in a better place mentally and confident and content with the right and very tight  measures that are in place making impossible to do so.

Day-41 no gambling thoughts or to report, counselling in the morning, not missing gambling, annoyed about last relapse but have the tools in place and a stronger mentality for it not to happen again, did i achieve anything from gambling did it make me a happier person absolutely not,did it bring stress and family problems yes, was I looking for a escape from a negative,stuck in a rut life yes, have I learnt  that this is no way to behave absolutely yes! One day at a time and to make certain changes going forward.
