I have done nothing extra if im being honest. Ive used my willpower and i have read this website every day and got great advice and strength on other diaries.
I had some personal issues other than gambling this last few weeks but they are fixed now. So my local meeting is on early next week(already past this week) so i will go! As for counselling is it available free in NI? certainly cannot afford it! Debts are already coming down slowly but surely.
Hi Justjoseph,
For counselling in NI get in touch with Dunlewy ( http://dunlewey.net/).
All the best,

Day 47 no bet. Have had a few dreams about gambling...the ones that are good fun and kind of make me think gambling is great(until i wake up and feel relieved i havent had a bet). I felt some urges today but easy enough to push away because memories of pain still fresh in my mind. Still havent been to a meeting yet! I work to 10-1030ish every second week that my local meeting is on (starts at 8 so is not possible but is on my weeks off).
Its a pride thing...id like to get to 90 days and show them boys in meeting that im doing okay....unfortunately thats what has cost me all the last year..when i try get to 90 and fall at 50-60 days...4-5 times its happened last 15-16 months.
Anyway ..getting away from all that..i want to keep strong and keep going. Hope everyones doing well
You don't need to prove yourself to anyone else...Better to go now & get their support than risk the happy feelings winning over the regret!
