I realise I was rather lazy in 2017 re my recovery diary. So I'm going to keep a daily diary of my goals, negatives etc as also this year I WILL be debt free!!
Day 1 of 2018-1/1/18
I have not gambled and will not gamble. I currently have zero payday loans now (thankfully!!)
I owe £600 on a cc (0%)
I owe £900 on another card (0%)
I have a £2500 of which I'm desperately trying to pay off-now at £1,500
2018 will be my year to be debt free and no gambling! I've realised I need to keep track of my money, or it just disappears on rubbish! Today I have spent £1.40-magazine for my nephew. No more needs to be spent today as I'm not leaving the house. This week I will be positive and product for my future.
2/2/17-day 2. No spend day today! Awful weather so stayed inside watching trash and reading my book-bliss! No gambling or thoughts of gambling today, as I just want a stress free happy future and gambling does not and will not give me those things.
Day 3-3/3/18. Not spent anything today or gambled. However, I'm feeling stressed and anxious about my debts-I can usually talk myself round, but currently things are so tight and one blip could mess everything up!! Think an early nights sleep is required and hopefully will feel brighter tomorrow. But on a positive, no spending and no gambling. Cx
Keep clocking up those days Charley. I am not in debt myself but I still have a lot of mental suffering going on with how much I have lost. Can you prioritise having some level of an emergency fund?
Affected by gambling?
