Hope you keep gambling free. Talk to people that care and look after yourself.

Good going. I certainly am not missing the all day/night gambling sessions and the hunting around for loans to feed the habit.

(@Changing-habit) thankyou I slept quite well and even put the TV on... First time since I've stopped gambling that I've had the TV on overnight as the adverts were subconsciously feeding my addiction

(@oranje01) me neither I was in absolute despiration trying to find a solution when I admitted I had a problem and spent all my wages without realising now much I spent. I track my sleep and just looked back at the week when I gambled ever night most of the night from 21 hours a week to 55 hours  sleep this week pretty happy with that I just can't believe how much gambling took over my life and I didn't even realise

Yes stress makes the immune system weaker.. But be kind to yourself.. Listen to what your body is telling you to do.  Don't take pressure off anyone.. The road ahead is a long one for us all.. But think like the Romans did in straight lines.... Take care
