Checking in, on day 13! feeling good about being gamble free but going through a break up at the same time is making it harder than what it is. Hoping I can come through to the end of this dark tunnel and leave all this behind me. Taking it one day at a time..
Late check in, but day 14! I'm feeling good, not thinking much about the gambling. I had alignment therapy earlier on which releases all the negative energy and has made me feel much better, would recommend it to anyone as it does actually help. Off to the gym now, feeling better than ever..
checking in on day 15! half a month already and feeling much better. I'm actually getting things done without gambling which shows me what gambling does to your life. Still missing pigsy very much though but staying strong! Let's keep it going 🙂
Good start Krana. Well done but look at some of the longer posts like Oldhamktf and Day@atime and see what recovery ideas you can glean?
Checking in on day 16! todays been a comfortable day and not thought about the gambling.. feeling much better within myself. Taking it one day at a time.. I will have a look triangle and see what recovery ideas I can use to help even more, thanks!
Day 17, more than half a month done! So proud that I've achieved this already, just have to keep strong and stay busy.. Off to the gym now and trying to stay out of the house for as long as possible.. Tend to overthink about things I shouldn't when I'm at home. Any ideas for new hobbies?
Well done on 17 days bud it's not easy dealing with the gambling along side a break up. You just have to keep going for you and see where it takes you.
I spent a lot of time watching boxsets and reading on here it does get easier with time and you start to wonder how you had time to fit gambling in.

Day 18! Been a busy day, been at an interview in Birmingham all day and it went well.. Not had anytime to think about the gambling so things are ticking a long nicely at the minute.. Thank for the message KTF, it isn't easy at the moment mate but I'll get there! I just have to keep strong and it will be okay in time!
Hi Krana, great work on 18 days 🙂
Took me a while but I have just bumped a thread in the Overcoming section called Tips for keeping busy...There's all sorts in there! There is also one on good box sets you may want to root around for it!
Keep busy, keep making the right choices - ODAAT
Day 19 - hard day today.. England playing in the euros and betting has been on my mind.. If I can get through today, I will be feeling quite confident.. Staying strong!
Thanks ODAAT, I will give it a read and see what tips I can take for keeping busy..
Day 20 gamble free! It does feel good, really good. Enjoying the football without being nervous about having a bet on. Had a good weekend too!
Day 21 gamble free. 3 whole weeks and I feel good within myself..
I forgot about the boxset one. Should update it when I have time watched a few more I could add.

Day 22 - been a hard day as I've been put in a bad mood. Difference is now though, I haven't betted whereas before, I would have done it straight away. Really staying strong and trying to overcome this addiction.
