So I've been gambled free for 99 days. I'm wondering how have I managed to stop with so much ease this time. When my previous attempts have failed. Is it all in the mind?? I've registered with gamstop, I've told my family about my addiction and I think it's the thought of letting them down that has made stopping easier this time. I haven't placed a bet in 99 days. The longest I have ever gone and it's been brilliant. I also had CBT therapy to help with my low mood which was great and I would recommend this as part of your gambling recovery as it all starts in the mind. If your happier in yourself then it might make giving up the gambling habit a bit easier. I'm proud of how far I have come and it does get easier with time. Once you start having money again and your able to buy things it makes you wonder why did I ever bother with gambling in the first place. Don't give up guys keep persevering and u can do it. Even if your past attempts have failed doesn't mean you can't succeed the next time. Never say never. I know it's only been 99 days but that's the longest I have ever gone without gambling so that's a huge achievement for me!!
