Hi Tommo x thanks for popping by on my diary :)) it means a lot this really works supporting each other and encouraging each other doesn't it š your doing so well! Yes urges probably always be there but not so often and with less intensity:) it's so worth it, I'm sleeping better and no mood swings really from the ups and downs of gambling more downs! Keep going strong hun yes we can do this! :)) Lu x
Thanks C and Lu.Feel like I need a rant and it probably won't make sense to anyone but me. God this is a total roller coaster. Very nearly caved today. So so close but I didn't and the money is still sitting there. Did the...it's only 15 but I might win 100 argument in my head and I won! It's horrible how the emotional side wants to fail. It's horrible knowing that you need to change your whole personality to succeed in your 20 yr relationship. It would be so easy to slip but you know what this girl isn't going back there no matter what is thrown at me. It will not be my escape any more.
Hi glad to hear you didn't give in and rant all you like if it helps. It makes sense to lots of people on here as we have all faced and still do at times the roller coaster of emotions when giving up an addiction. We all know it doesn't stop at the 15.00 pound, it's better off in your bank then theirs. Xmas is not that far away, that money can be better spent. Stay strong x
Thanks Anon x Day 20. Payday came and went and I survived! I wasn't even waiting for 12.10 am. Slept through it for the first time in ages. Positive thoughts today. Long may it last!!
