Well what can i say what a first day this has been, am battling as I write this to save my entire world from falling apart, I've lied and lied and lied to cover up my gambling habits (hence my title) I'd admit I've even Stole from the people i love to fund my habit, why did i do it you ask?? Well to be honest i don't really know was it the thrill or chasing my loses am not sure yet but one thing I do known is that's it's got to stop and stop from today.
It's kind of weird because of everything that's happened today I have not even thought about gambling I just want to get my family back which is how I used to be family orientated that was me but that went by the waste line when I got back into my old gambling ways and it's strange as it always seems like it comes back with a vengeance so anyway here we go day 1 no gambling for me i feel positive and think to myself i can do this once and for all and be at my Demons
oh and by the way to make it a little more interesting i work in a casino which I am working tonight (you all probably saying I should know better but trust me if anything it's the opposite) so onwards and upwards

Well it's now day 6 and still no gambling for me!! Small victories I suppose! Still trying to win my family back I know it's not going be easy, been reading a lot of other peoples diaries and posts and we are all in the same boat no matter how long we have stopped gambling it's a long rocky road ahead but like any one on here we all want the same outcome which is not to gamble. I've also got my first ga meeting on Wednesday should be interesting not too sure what to expect though but if it's like this forum it will be great to meet people just like me and share our stories
good luck to everyone on your journey no matter what stage you are at
