It is a small world. ..Thanks. ..same to you as well.

DAY 4 Didn't need to come on yesterday, way too busy and not feeling the urge to gamble as I use to,still think about now and again. But seem to be feeling better, excited going a away for a week soon,so really won't bother me,don't worry about Internet while i'm away.

Had a good day today,even had a few beers ,it was my stepson's 21st no urge to gamble.

DAY 5 This is the time of the month I have been dreading,payday tomorrow, this is when my sheer willpower will have to come in,I do have blocks up but will have to refrain from trying to get round them. It isn't going to be easy I know that much.

Day.6
The day I have been dreading. ..payday ,need to be strong today, will power to kick in.I have Got all my blocks in place tho.

It's harder if you can't hand over financial control but if you really can't, an instant saver account might be the way forward. They're cashcard only, no Visa. Use DD's in your current account to come out on pay day for essential outgoings and bills and to move the remainder out of your current account into the instant saver. In the meantime, use the phone, call the helpline as many times as you need to. Or any other friends or family or support that you have. Tell a few trusted people to break open the secrecy. Try GC counselling and/or GA.

Thanks Cynical, I do move most of my money over to a non debit card account and pay my bills today,it's getting better than it was and only spent 20 pound last month (that was before I joined here)I am determined I'm not spending ANY MONEY on gambling at all and spending it on some new clothes instead.

Thanks Triangle, will ask for help when I need it,coming on here ,reading stories and writing my own has been a great help.

Keep the guards high tough times payday but remember if you don't place that 1st bet the 2nd, 3rd will never follow.
