Fireworks 2

How amazing that you did 9 months, the best thing about your post is that you acknowledge how better life was when you were gamble free, work on that, use it for motivation, you've done it once you can do it again.  I wish you all the best in recovery

Lovely to hear from you again! I did write on your diary around your first year anniversary I think and have often wondered how you were doing.

Sorry to hear you slipped back to old behaviours. We all know on here where that usually ends up and we have all been where you are now.

The important thing is that you do know you can stop. Sometimes however, self control is not enough on its own.  Use this site, use your diary every day, put all blocks in place and as you know, life is always so much better when we are not gambling 💪👌. Did you not have any blocks in place?

I wish you well on your journey and look forward to reading your progress on here.

Take care.

Pink Lady 🩷🍎.

Thanks for the kind words and support Pink Lady and Deborah. Its the start of day 2 and in a short time I have been so much more productive and I have slept much better. I've put further blocks in place to make it harder for me to gamble and I'm feeling a lot more positive about things. I even recorded a voice note to myself to play back if I think about gambling. Ultimately that first bet can lead to months or even years of pain. One day at a time I need to avoid that first bet!
