Life begins again

Evening diary

The damage that compulsive gambling did to me I will never forget

We can never get time back with our time or with families and friends

Good memories we have not had because we were in the oblivion world of gambling

We have one life no rehearsal this is it so why do we want to waste our one life on this awful destructive past time called gambling

Because I will never forget this phase in my life of throwing away everything I had to give and more It gives me the strength now to keep abstaining and never go back to it

I know the addiction is still there at the back but I am determined to not go back why would I want to

Have a peaceful gambling free evening all

Afternoon diary

67 days and I feel good about it

Just finished a long shift started at 6.30 this morning

This is when I would come home and play online slots for an hour to unwind (what a big joke) I always ended up totally stressed with chasing

Well I am not unwinding playing today

Last thing I want to do is waste money and time on gambling because there is no point whatsoever in losing more money I have not got

And it feels great that I have no incline to play today

I do not want to play today because although I am shattered I feel great inside today

Have a good positive gambling free evening all

Morning diary

Day 68 and not even one penny spent on gambling

Work today and then2 days off need them cos I feel sooooo tired today

Weather is miserable outside as it's raining

But I feel sooo strong inside and I have no desire or wish to gamble today

One day at a time I am winning and that is very positive thinking for me

Why would I want to give up 68 days of freedom and sanity there would be no point whatsoever I am 6 days off my next goal pay day and taking one day at a time I will get there

I won't be playing today because I am winning today

Have a peaceful and positive gambling free day all

Day 69 and I still have not spent even one penny on gambling

I want to sincerely thank everyone on this forum because without your support and my diary and my posts I don't honestly know if I would be on day 69

I have not beaten gambling because gambling 100% beat me mentally physically emotionally and financially and recovery is hard it's not easy and I admire everyone on here abstaining and abstaining and yet again abstaining

Gambling BEAT me so as far as I am concerned it's game over

I won't be playing tonight because the game is over and out tonight

Have a positive and peaceful gambling free evening all
