I don't lose all my wages but I lost some spare money I put back which built up gradually I've lost it. We go on nice holidays which I contribute. But its so annoying I get to this point thankyou cj
Right I'm going to start my diary again after 99th relapse. Day one after going through another dark moment I'm going to ring bookies self exclusion and go further with self exclusions after work
Yo, I can not tell you how many times I said never again and relapsed , probably a thousand . But never stopped trying . You can do this , one day at time . You are doing the right thing self exclude every where , limit your cash if you can . The turning point for me was admitting that I was powerless and that I could not do this on my own . I came clean to my brother which was one of the hardest things I have ever done he now monitors my bank account and holds my money . I have not gambled for over 3 years , not that I am any different than anyone else , because the only day that matters is today . Defo had thoughts but the thing that stops me is the obstacles I have put in place . Dust yourself down hun, look forward not back and take it one day at time . Be kind to you, you can do this . Shiny 🙂
Thankyou shiny sound advise
Day one done and tomorrow brings day two. You can beat this.
Sorry if you felt my comments criticsized how you spend your money on gambling. My idea was that if you didn’t bet the money and lose it, you’d have more money for more holidays or adventures or things you wouldn’t normally have. You get what I mean 🙂

The best advice I can give you..
allen carr (author) The easy way to stop gambling. Get it audio and listen to it while walking, jog, at the gym, driving. Or read it.
There is a good book website called "book 2 door" that's cheap. If you prefer a actual book.
Good luck.

Not gonna lie I done it again today and hurts everytime I want to tell my wife but she's got so much on well we both have with our daughter in her unit so I ain't gonna burden her with my sxxt. I'm gonna start again and try harder
After a positive weekend I'm going OK day 3 is nearly gone. After going to watch arsenal vs man u yest was nice. This week I will avoid listening to my fav channel talks port as all they are talking bout is Cheltenham which is alway a bad week for us.
Day 4 over well keeping myself busy is the way to keep myself on track
Day 6 still doing well to keep my self busy keeping myself away from Cheltenham on telly and radio. Hearing how Paul merson one of my childhood heroes still having trouble with gambling shows you again how hard this disease is to give up
Day 16 still going strong keeping myself ignoring sport as much as I can and I have to say its good. Money I've saved so far I spent £110 on a weekend caravan hol for my wife bday for us all to go on in May
