MY DIARY

Keep it up Hollie - I look forward to following your recovery diary and seeing you abstain - Duncan is right about the triangle. Through blocking software on my phone and laptop I've removed the 'place' aspect. The place I mostly gambled was online. By having free software downloaded onto my devices and a friend of mine set up the passwords I can't join a new online gambling site even if I want to.

Wishing you continued sucess on your journey

Well done Hollie. Similar to you it is when boredom sets in that i struggle. I try and keep busy and keep my mind off it. If iknow i will have spare time i will set myself a task or go for a sauna or anything to take my mind off it. Keep up the good work and we have not gambled this year

Yes clare I put ganblock on my phone too. Im cleaning mad today lol have to keep busy. Good luck to you and we can all do this together.
We are in the same boat greggsboy but we are not looking back. My house will be sparkling x

Day 5 no gambling. Didn't even do the lottery last night. Monday and tuesday are my weakest days. Feeling good today!

Hi hollie, stay focused for your weakest times and you'll have your first week behind you. then it's onwards and upwards.....Ginger

Thanks Ginger x

Day 6 gamble free. Not feeling great today but I will fight it!

Hi Hollie,

Welcome aboard, and just want you to know I understand those tough days when we gambled the most, get through today, and you will feel a lot stronger tomorrow, every single time we starve those urges, we get stronger,

You have one week under your belt tomorrow, stay strong and focused today, and you will feel sooo good tomorrow,

Hi Hollie,

Can I ask where you got the blocker for your phone from ? this is now my only means of gambling and would like to install a blocker to stop the urges.

Thanks.

Thanks suzanne i am going to keep fighting this demon. I do not want to wake up tomorrow with that terrible feeling of loss and self hate
Hi johnb I bought gamblock it was about £30 and well worth it. I have a samsung s4 and it works fine on it. Good luck with it and you will be breaking the triangle of hell by downloading it x

Thanks Hollie, £30.00 is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

How many days since you last gambled ?

6 days and today i was really tempted. Monday and tuesday evenings im home alone and thats when I usually gamble. But just posting here is giving me strenght. X

Didn't make day 7 🙁 spent ВЈ120 on a new slot site. Feel c**P now had won £220 and kept going till it was all gone. Starting again now.

Day 1 no gambling. I can do this

Hi hollie,

Well done for not giving up, yes you can do this,

Stay strong and positive
