@gadaveuk Hi Dave, it felt good not to go in and fall in to the trap again, no they won’t miss me,and I won’t miss them.
Thank you for coming back to me.
I am glad you did not fall in to the old unhealthy habits, well done.
In time you come to believe in your self and how much more you can achieve in your healthy life and in your healthy relationships.
They will not lose sleep missing your money, today I don’t miss them.
To them it is just business and is nothing personal.
Keep on making healthy choices towards a healthy life.
Love and peace to you.

Day-35, no gambling to report no gambling thoughts, 10000 step walk in the morning, feeling more fitter, physically and Mentally, one day at a time,feeling confident that with all the measures in place that I am on the right track another day where I have not missed the trouble gambling brings.
Hi
It is healthy getting out to walk in the morning, getting stimulated in to healthy habits.
Increase your goals slowly is the best and healthy way to reach all healthy goals
Increasing your stimulus both physically and emotionally slowly is the best and healthy way.
JUST for today only focusing on the moment makes it much easier.
That is very powerful feeling confident that with all the healthy measures in place.
Being on the healthy track in its self another day stimulates you in to having bigger goals.
You have not missed the unhealthy gambling brings.
That sounds great.
Love and healthy inner peace

Day-36 no gambling to report no thoughts at all to gamble which is pleasing,Happy with how recovery is going,trying to remain positive, the inner peace is slowly coming back,having not gambled for 36 days it’s all kind of making sense why it was a go too in stressful situations, have new measures in place to ever fall back in to the trap, one day at a time.
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.
Hi you are doing well, keep it up.
You have had no unhealthy urges to gamble, you are doing well.
As you take up more healthy actions in your recovery and healing it will improve how you feel about your slef.
Being confident and content will help you reduce your fears.
Setting healthy boundaries that are in place making the impossible seem very possible today.

@gadaveuk many thanks Dave for your words and encouragement really appreciate it, yes trying to turn unhealthy into healthy habits, one day at a time long way to go but feeling positive and confident I can do this,relapsed for the very last time and no going back to the trap,day 40 now and still no gambling to report and no thoughts to do so,not missing any of the stress or anxiety gambling creates, overall mental health slowly but surely getting better each day but I know there’s a long way to go,got referred for some counselling sessions through gamcare another positive going forward.
Day -40 still no gambling or intentions to do so, feel on track and comfortable at this time, one day at a time and each day goes by my understanding of this id becoming clearer.
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.
Hi
Being annoyed about last relapse is not productive.
Understand the build up and how vulnerable you were.
Then understand what your emotional trigger was.
For me gambling never did make me a happier person the opposite it caused me more pains and problems than I could cope with.
When I gambled I always made things much worse and more painful for myself and my family.
Me looking to escape indicated I was living in fears.
Just one day at a time slow baby steps for me.
For me make certain healthy changes and move on from the past.
Thank you.
Love and peace to every one.
