So a bit down at work today knowing that ill only be there another month
​
So haven't gambled since Tuesday night and that was just a fiver in a fruit machine in a pub. Everything blocked now so no temptation. Going to work till Tuesday then a week off then two more weeks and no more work. Going t ok hunt for jobs on my week off and try and get one soon. Going to spend my time off going to the gym every day.
​
Good Luck job hunting.
Going to the gym sounds like a good plan, take your mind off gambling.
Take care.
Hello, struggled today but didn't get drunk and didn't put any money in fruit machines. ....result
​
Hello I'm back, not written in my diary much lately been busy......right gambling or not gambling as it were is going pretty well. The only gambling I'm able to do now is my weekly fiver on poker, fruit machines in pubs and casino that I'm a member of..
​
The first I'm not keen on stopping as its a release and its a social activity I love, the second fruit machines in working really hard to stop
​
The third casinos I'm going to self exclude from. Every other form of gambling is self excluded which is good.... Ive not been to my gym much lately so going there tomo for a jog. Smoking in carrying on with. Drinking alcohol I'm carrying on with.
​
​haven't posted for a while now, finnished my job looking for a new one, will sign on soon, been gambling on fruit machines lately its my last avenue towards gambling I have to battle. Going to gym tomo on my first day off will keep you all posted on my progress towards not gambling and losing weight I'm currently thirteen stone and three quaters
So haven't posted in a while. Looking for a job tick, going to the gym tick, not gambling on fruit machines cross, not drinking too much tick, losing weight tick. I'm making real progress. With the London marathon on tomo ill be going to the gym and running my mile or so then off to the social club to play snooker
​
​I find that when I take out some gambling places I find new ones eg online went to bookies, bookies went to casinoes, casinos went to pubs, no what scratch cards I gues. Ive thought today I might take up snooker instead of poker as a hobby. Will update my diary when ive decided, giving snooker a go tomo
I'll bring my day count up to date and see what next week brings. On a plus only spent a tenner on social things including gambling this week
​
Great work on most of the fronts but you are switching addictions because you're not treating the cause! How about taking up GA or a bit of counselling to go along with the snooker?
Every now and then I have a moment of clarity, where I look at my life differently and see the important things in life. Tonight is one of those times. I haven't gambled on a fruit machine for two weeks now and although ive spent a lot of money socialising I haven't wasted any.
​
Now for some new targets. This week I say week I'm not going to make my targets too long as I may not achieve them.
​
I'm going to not go to my poker nights on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm going to save a little money and see how I feel at the end of it.
