Just checking in to see how you are doing Heuly? Hopefully a bit better? Hopefully you and your partner can help you work through it together eventually
hi cmille so nice of you to check up on me much appreciated. im doing better today ive not gambled since sunday evening so im on my 4th day now. Ive been on edge and cant stop thinking about it but ive done some positive things and im starting phone therapy with gamcare feb 18 and i went to bed earlier last night instead of my staying up all night. im trying to keep busy and thankfully i had a deep and meaningful talk with my partner yesterday and they are going to support me through this i am very lucky. taking each day as it comes at the moment..How are you doing xxx
Glad that you managed to sort things with your partner, one less stressed off of your mind, hopefully just up from here for you. But yes I am doing better actually. The Gamstop really does help as there really isn’t much I can do in the way of trying to gamble. It is a great safety barrier. I still find myself checking my emails for any bonuses and things though, which shouldn’t be coming to my inbox anymore, but I think it’s out of habit. It then gets me thinking about it but least I can’t just go on any sites just for ‘a look’ anymore. On my 5th day now and back doing my first full shift at work in 2 and a half months and actually managing to get a good nights sleep for the first time in I don’t know how long! Fingers crossed I stay in the mindframe I am in now xxx
