Hiya Carl,
Well done with the GA meetings really pleased they helping you out also :).
I am going to 2 next week they got a big open one in Worthing on tuesday then my local one on Thursday. But making new friends and hearing everyone stories seeing reactions and helping new members it just puts it into perspective for me. I have been going for 17 weeks now and just find it so amazing and helpful.
Keep going Carl and I will try get on here more.
All the best mate
Ricky

day17
and im doing what I do best at the start of the journey keeping really busy, I just signed up for a half marathon in November so I will be training lots, I think when I stop is when I trigger to gamble because im not doing the training or keeping busy.
also by attending gamblers anon I am picking up certain things like I now realise that I will never be cured its built in me, (probably why I do well at sports and my running) but its actually about I how I deal with it and combat placing that first bet.it also encourages me to be more open about it and discuss with people which I do find hard but am getting there.
anyway enough rambling for one lunchtime
Great stuff mate learning more about the addiction and things that can help ya. Just keep busy for now you know it gets easier and aslog as you keep learning you'll have more ammunition for the fight. Take care mate, have a good weekend.
day 19
and another weekend has passed with me keeping busy, this weekend i have sanded down woodwork and painted it,pressure washed the patio, some gardening, visited the dump and charity shop.
its amazing really how long a weekend can be when not preoccupied.

Hi Carl

another day passed
and back into my running at present even in this hot weather, i find the running helps me along this journey and also mentally,so what i need to do is more races during the year and its a proper buzz rather than a dirty buzz
Glad the runnings going well. I'm finding it hard to get out there but once I do it feels great. Just like stopping gambling I suppose - its hard but the rewards are great.
Golf was good. I like lefty would never have said he'd win it doing into Sunday but great stuff.
day 22
wednesday is here again, have day off work today, so got up and did my run early, and its meeting night tonight
