Day 45
Still going strong however being an Arsenal fan these days is not helping 🙁
Day 46
Busy day with the family today, had a few urges earlier but didnt give in
Day 47
Another reminder to myself not to give in yesterday. Would have backed Tottenham not to lose at 0-1 down, glad they did anyhow 🙂
If I had been able to gamble online I feel I would have done yesterday, taking the easy access away has been the main thing for me
Day 48
Thanks Stace86, without the blocks it is so much harder to stay free of it.
Quiet night last night after work, did go for a 2 mile run which i am starting to enjoy few times a week now. Its helping to keep me busy which means less temptations.
Day 49
7 weeks done. Just the one time so far where I came close to giving in. Although I was only averaging around £30 loss each week when I was gambling its still nice to be able to put that aside instead of wasting it.
Day 51
Quiet week on the football side always helps not even thought about gambling last few days.
Day 52
Was in the gym early today followed by some shopping then to the pub to watch Arsenal defeat Chelsea 🙂 good to watch the game and enjoy it without stressing about gambling
Day 54
Got through the weekend without many temptations. Was shopping in town yesterday and thought about going bookies but didnt give in. Keep telling myself it can all go out of control again but cant as long as I stay strong , its not worth it
Day 55
Thanks Stace
This started off quick but seems to have been going very slow lately. A whole year will be very difficult but at least time round I cant gamble online which makes it so much easier to stay clear from.
Day 57
Had bad flu the last 2 days hardly left the bed its freezing out. Watching the Chelsea Tottenham game with a lemsip, no urges lately
Day 58
Busy day at work ahead at least its Friday. Hopefully win for Arsenal tonight will be tough game however
Day 59
Busy day with family so lots of distractions. Another Saturday done without giving in
Day 62
Busy few days hardly thought about gambling. Had a few problems with my mental health lately have been put forward for CBT Therapy but there is a 4 month waiting list.
Have had mental health problems last 3 or 4 years and read how gambling is linked. I gambled because of my problems and had problems after I gambled. I have stopped the gambling now so hopefully can get some help and focus on improving my way of thinking.
Day 63
9 weeks have flown by. Been a very long month and much needed break from it all
Day 64
Busy day at work, no football of interest tonight so no temptations, off to the gym soon
