Back to the start don't really feel like talking at the moment but will be back on the wagon tomorrow and start again as I have to.
So back to the start, I feel quite low at the moment hanging for a bet. So just a normal first day of recovery but it starts so on we go.
So slipped again, for someone reading this for the first time you might think me quite mad. Well I suppose I am in terms of the non - gambling world. I gambled today I don't want to gamble, I know I am going to lose yet I gambled. Messed up it does not your mental state any good. I am barred from everywhere I don't gamble on line yet I find somewhere new. Well there is no point in chasing or going back after whats done but I am honestly sick of things. Yet as I write this I am planning another bet on one shoulder and holding off on another. I will survive but I can't do much more of this relapses are killers let no one tell you any different. I am not even gambling for long just doing financial damage anyway tomorrow is day one and it will be gamble free. I wish you all the best till tomorrow evening. Hopefully my head will be clearer.
Michael I've followed your diary for quite some time. I can relate to everything you say.
I was never into online I always preferred the physical machine.
I'd say for as long as I can remember I never gambled with the intention of winning. It was more the act I enjoyed. If I won great. But if I didn't win I couldn't of cared less because I had what I went for the buzz. I'd say over 90 percent of the time I gambled on any given day I would at some point be up. But 95 percent of the time I would finish the day down.
The more I won the more I raised the stakes. Almost like a yearn to lose?
Anyhow I noticed you had a good run of day's this year somewhere over the 200 mark. So you have it in you to put a good day count together. You just need to find that stride again and keep it ticking.
