Well I've been here before many times, it's another new year and I am wasting my life, I have tried to stop gambling before but the urges get so strong I am drawn back in, over the last few days I have wasted about £300..... It has to stop now! I have decided to start a diary again as I feel it does help me fight the urges, coming to this site. I can't understand why I am so weak when it comes to gambling, I have had a few wins in the past, nothing too big though and have definately lost more than I've won, in fact probably 1000 times more. I am fed up of never having any money to treat my kids and family. I'm determined my new life will start in the morning Day 1 of no gambling!!!!! 6th Jan 2015.......
Hi jaz & welcome back, you know it makes sense!
You have been here before so you know to get all your blockers in place. The urges do come hard & fast sometimes but you can stop them - ODAAT
Hi Jaz,
Welcome back to recovery, and day 1 is a good start.

Thanks for your comments Day 1 today I have excluded myself from every site I can think of so here goes......
Good luck Jaz, I wish you well xx
Thanks Jane, Day 2 today, going to try to keep busy and gamble free. I'm feeling really nervous and anxious today for some reason, thinkI'll go out for a long walk and get some fresh air, hopefully the rain will stay away....
Hi Jaz,
Day 2, keep busy, those feelings will go, and you will feel a lot stronger,
Take care
