Day 4 AM / 72 days

Slowly things are getting better. Managing to sleep better at night. However, when my mind drifts I still go off into a period of self loathing.

I'm done with gambling. Had no thoughts or urges. Haven't read any sports articles, not watched any sports on TV and not been listening to the radio.

Managed to do some jobs around the house last night but time still drags so badly. I got my wife to draw up a list of things she wants me to do round the house... hopefully that will keep me busy for a while.

Fingers crossed to my mood getting better still.

Day 5 / 71 days

Done fine today. Going GA meeting for first time in a while tonight. Won't be particularly nice to sit there and tell everyone how I messed up but when I come out the other side I'll probably feel better. End of the day everyone there is in the same boat. Wife having a go at me for going as she just doesn't understand the addiction at all.
