Thought it was time I posted in here now as I've made my introductions as a newbie.
It may seem early days and people may think I'm jumping the gun, but at 6 days in to my gemble free recovery this is the longest I have gone since I started gambling 2 years ago!
GO ME!
Not only that but I've had no urges whatsoever so far. I've come to see it for what it is and I HATE the idea of playing another slot. The fun has well and truely disappeared.
Anyway im hoping this keeps up especially after the 27th....PAYDAY! While I trust myself now that I wont lapse its a different thing when it comes around, so im really nervous about that one. Also weirdly excited as, if i continue feeling as positive and strong as I do now I know I'll actually have pay to last me next month (I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT EVEN FEELS LIKE!!) :O
So I Shall keep you posted and if not for you then for me, to see written down how I am progressing and how I dont need gambling anymore!
Love to all you lovely people, stay strong xxx

Hey I read your introduction and can relate to your story, I am of similar age and have never told anyone about my gambling because of the fact I don't want to be judged or treated differently. I have busted my bank account a few times and taken out a loan to carry on. Thankfully I haven't gambled in 3 months. The key for me was finding other stuff to occupy the time best of luck.
D'oh...Just realised you are here already 🙂 I answered your diary question on your old thread! You youngsters, always one step ahead of me 😉
