Lets Try This Again

Welcome and good luck on ur journey, for me bookies started to be a problem so after many failed attempts at going to town I opted to after I paid bills transfer all money left to my dad.... Five years later I still do as it works for me and I know my money is safe....

All the best adam

@adam123 thanks Adam. That sounds like a great idea. I’m still weighing up involving the family yet but will be sure to keep it in mind.

thanks Dave. 

So today marks one full week GF. How can I describe this week? Emotional. Been beating myself up a lot this week after the realisation of what I have done has hit home. The amount of shame and regret is unbelievable. I hate myself as a person right now but I will not take failure as an option and I will conquer this demon.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi Dave, i hadn't thought of it like that, but i agree with you, a full week, although small in the grand scheme of things, is somewhat of an achievement. I am 100% committed to doing this. Maybe one day i can learn to forgive myself. I will just take it one day at a time.

Thanks mate

@marco1 Hi Marco, i believe life can only get better, it cant get any worse for me. The only way is up. Good luck with your journey.

Take care

Hi,

Just a quick update. Currently 9 days GF and feeling a lot better today. Don’t get me wrong I’m still in a bad place but I’m feeling slightly better each day. I won’t quit.

Have a good weekend.

Day 11 GF has been and gone. Feel I need to keep putting updates on here to keep myself accountable. Just want to love life again. Hopefully things keep getting better.

2 weeks today GF. I’m going to update this on a weekly basis now to keep myself accountable. Good luck everyone.

Now 27 days GF. Joined GA and have attended 2 meetings. The support has been fantastic and would recommend anyone to attend. It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since I last gambled and I am feeling good about it.
