So today is 44 days without a bet, I’ve had a terrible time since Covid. No excuses though and no looking back, the damage and debt is done and I’m looking forward not backwards. I’ve tried before to do an honest diary but kept going back. Today I sit here in debt having cleared a load a couple of years ago. I’m ashamed angry upset tired but I know I have to look ahead. By the time I become debt free I’ll be nearer 50 than 40, that reality is sobering. Like all recovering gamblers we know that the amount is irrelevant and despite what I have written I am also feeling good of my 44 days. No thoughts of gambling and handing over my finances to my wife who once again is supportive. Wishing everyone else health and happiness in your own recoveries.Â
Well done, that’s incredible!! Stick at it, you’re doing great.Â
Dave haystack I appreciate you taking the time to post, today has been a tough one at work and I’m tired but other than that I’m happy and in a good place.
Well it’s 69 days today and feeling really good about that. Making plans for holidays and the year ahead and watching sport is so much easier now not thinking about gambling. Hope everyone is doing okÂ
Thanks Dave
Day 80 today, life is goodÂ
I have debt and it will take a long time to clear but it’s there as a reminder I supposeÂ
hope everyone is ok on their own journeyÂ
Day 93 and can’t complain have I had the odd feeling of gambling? Yes I have but I rarely have them now. One week to 100 days which would be nice but one day at a time. I hope everyone is doing ok in their own journey whether day 1 or further. It’s not easy we really have to focus on taking each day as it comes.Â
