Time for a diary having spent over £600.00 of my wages within 1 hour of getting them tonight.
I have a big gambling problem & I am trying to come to terms with it & wanted to share my experiences with like minded people.
I can not think about what has gone but I can look forward with each passing day & get to grips with my addiction
thanks tim

First and foremost well done for starting a diary on this wonderfull forum you will recieve a wealth of support and advice and this will help greatly in your quest to arrest you addiction.
My advice to you is the advice I was given when I started my own recovery 150 days ago.
Take it one day at a time Just for today NO BET, and use the triangle TIME-MONEY-LOCATION take one of these away my friend and you cant have a punt enabling you to remove your "gambling goggles" that all us compulsive gamblers wear whilst at it and become focused on recovery and living a gamble free life.
Most of all be kind to yourself you are doing something amazing in wanting to arrest your addiction. Keep posting it will help.
Duncs stepping forward never back NO BET TODAY.
