OK, so this will be my first day of being gamble free. Let's hope it continues and I will update my diary once/twice a week to keep me focused.
Congrats on taking the first step. Once you start it is hard to stop, so if you can just manage not to place that first bet, you will be safe.Â
Well that’s 5 days without gambling. I’m not sure if i would of made it if I had money in my bank. There is a little sense of achievement but a long way to go. Let’s make it to next Sunday ….
Day 13, no gambling. Lots of guilt and some urges still though.Â
Overdraft balance is around £1400.
2nd appointment on Thursday for professional help.

Day 20. Saturday was hard with the football back but go through it.
That’s 34 days gamble free. Seems to be getting easier.

Hi @jimmy84
Well done for not gambling today, despite feeling tempted. You're doing well.
Best wishes,

Relapsed!
Why do I do it to myself! I was doing so well and lost concentration and gave in to temptation
Same old cycle with a built up of wins and then getting greedy. Eventually lost and chased the losses.
I am now back to square one which I hate myself for and now my over draft has got even worse.
I guess today is back to start counting as day one of being gamble free.
Here we go again ?
