DAY 15
Over two weeks. I have had a cold, so haven't been to the gym for four days. Now back today. Payday next week, a challange!
DAY 15
Gym today, feels good to sweat and run. No thoughts today - funny - but need to be wary.
DAY 16
Gym and then a subway. Had a slight twinge when passed a 'that which shall not be named' but walked on by. A good day, now taking my daughter swimming snd dinner. I like a quiet life. This diary may be boring, but that is the way I like it at the moment. No rollercoasters, boring is good.
DAY 17
Heading for 20 days, aiming for 90. One day at a time, just for today.
DAY 17
Evening. The ritual of kerping a diary keeps me sane, away from the madness.
DAY 18
Went to gym, did garden. AA tonight. Cup of tea now.
No gsmbling today.
DAY 19
New day, gym first...
DAY 20
Just for today - no gambling!
DAY 20
It's been a tough day all told, but have not gambled.
DAY 21
Still tough. Payday tomorrow, need to keep my resolve up.
Hi john,
I know from previous experiences that payday is an extremely tough time to get through, I was paid yesterday so am in the same boat. I hope you can beat the urges, and remember that you've got the full support of this forum.
Best of luck my friend!
DAY 22 and 23
Thanks elproducto got paid and still surviving, no gambling. Away with family at the moment but will try and post every day. Just for today NO gambling!
DAY 24
Two days after payday and no gambling! Going to be a tough month financially, just need to stay positive!
Hi John dont let the thought of any monies in the bank turn your head. feel resentful towards gambling when those payday loans etc are taken out and remind yourself of how low you felt when you first posted and yet how positive you are now. You have inner strength so keep on using that. Enjoy the sunshine and get out and about with friends an family or down the gym. take care Mary
