Well done nearly at 50 days and yes everything is not all sorted but palbd are in place for it to become sorted. One thing that does seem sorted is your mind you seem in a much better mental state and that will only keep improving as long as you abstain and maintain.

59 days bit the bullet yesterday and contacted the payday loan companies to arrange payment plans to my relief 2 of them accepted and even though I'm sad it will take to next year to clear it the pressure won't be unbearable and I can live; that was the best advise people gave me here don't ignore it I wish I'd done it sooner still waiting on the 3rd company but if accepted it will free up £500 per month how the hell did I get in this mess also they free the interest meaning the debt is payee much quickly this way I can concentrate on my priority debts like the council tax I still need to sort things are slowly working out slept much better last night!
Well done for making the call, told you it would be worth a try, if you ask for help and support sometimes you get it, coming up to a couple of months good going that girl keep it up
Well it's 61 days I'm completely shocked just over 2 months how come it feels like a year ago it's quite bizarre the thought of gambling seems distant and a bit alien now I think obstaining really works but I remember how tough it was in the beginning felt like my arm had been cut off a habit so strong more familiar than brushing my hair or cleaning teeth.im glad it feels distant and I'm so much happier the money thing is difficult but in 61 days I've made so many changes contacted all the people I owe money to and I built that up to be awful and in fact I was surprised at how easy it was I guess they are used to it more than anything it's the time is takes sending emails and letters but it's mostly done now and the relief is huge!I still worry when the post comes but the guilt of what I done is slowly easing and I've set my sights on a new future I want to own my own place and be debt free and I know from the money I've wasted in the past I can do it!I write these logs so I can look back on it and never forget this has impacted my life so massively I need that reminder x
You ok missy x

Good to see you're closing in s the century club and the gambling fog is clearing and you are getting some clarity in your thoughts. As for the regrets of not doing it sooner we all have those but that's something we can't change but we can and you are changing the future.
