Hi adam,
Sorry to see you have blipped, but you have got straight back up and continuing your recovery journey.
The start of stopping can be like learning to ride a bike, when we fall off the bike we get straight back on, and that is what we have to do with this addiction.
You have got back on the bike 😉 so well done on not giving up on giving up.
Keep going.

​thanks suzzane
Well I'm back and I haven't gambled for 16 days
​
Its allways difficult when I hit pay day but this time ill be strong
​
Well done Adam. Keep staying strong.
Best wishes
It'll be three weeks on wednesday
​
So tomorrow will be day 20 going strong. I've been thinking tonight about goals to achieve in the next few months and as I've been partying for 18 years solid drinking drugs and gambling and not going to the gym or doing exercise I thought id start of a healthier lifestyle
​
I'm going to do one thing at a time, first stop gambling, done, second to drinking I've just gone to zante for another lads holiday and as we are single this involves drinking a lot and partying but as I'm 34 I feel like I've come to the end of an era​
So I feel like I can have the same fun now without drinking and start freshso plan two no alcohol. Plan three is stop smoking but for this to work ill need to gradually cut down over the next month.
​
Plan four and the overall plan is to lose weight and have a healthy body and mind. So plan 1,2,3 and go to the gym
​
This is a lot to achieve so I will aim to first do plan one and two then when I get paid plan three and four. This keeps me interested in and on the right path, Adam poker over and out
​
So its three weeks and two days, I get money in my account tomo so this is the start of testing times, I've been off work today and been pretty bored registered for Glastonbury tickets so will hopefully get there next year
​
Three weeks is not long but its seemed like ages !!!!!! Doh
​
I've not drunk any alcohol for a week now and not gambled so plan 1 and 2 working
​
Almost five weeks now
​
Affected by gambling?
