Hey red when that just a tenner comes to mind, think because we do really know it will be at least 200 if we can access that amount lol, try not to think of a tenner think of 200 it does help, the addiction hates that.
Well done on 12 days.

Day 13
Lots of urges and even tried to log on to an old account but luckily non responsive! Absolutely shattered today and a little disappointed in myself for even trying but still 13 days free thankfully!
Thank you for your support everyone. It's really appreciated. When I said 'a little disappointed in myself' I meant, beating myself up and very disappointed for being so weak 🙁
Trying hard not to wollow and bounce back and your comments really do help so thanks xx
Well done red, you are going to smash your target this time. Keep it up. The days will keep building up and you can finally be free.
Keep going red

Day 14/15
2 weeks yesterday! 🙂
So happy I made it. And now half way to 30 days!!
so pleased red to see that u have kept strong 🙂
Day 16
Yesterday was easy - family day, gambling didn't even cross my mind 🙂 and more family time today. Just need to stay strong when those urges come. Going to try a new Technique called anchoring this eve. Hopefully it will help me through those weeker moments.
Not giving up on giving up
Planning rewards 🙂 update.
вњ… Day 1 complete - fry up for breakfast
вњ… 1 week - latte at work 🙂 and out to dinner with OH
вњ… Payday - make up XD + beautician app
вњ… 2 weeks - deposit in new shoes and family dinner outing
3 weeks - evening out with OH and friends, fun, food and festivities (also return the favour to OH last time we went out) x
1 month (just imagine!!!) - Make hair appointment, finally have my hair done x
The rewards seem excessive but this is what my life used to be like. I could afford to do these things and it made me very happy. Want to be that happy person again, especially for my OH who sees how unhappy a person I am.
Day 17
Just worked out my finances for the next 25 days and looks like it's going to be manageable. Just need to stay strong and not give in to the feeling of immediate escape!
Generally feeling like a better person having a little money and able to treat my family to little things.
Still a long way to go and harder time to face but not giving up on giving up!
No urges today. One day at a time.
Well done red - keep it up and each month it will get easier with your finances and you will see the rewards of not gambling. I now always have money left at the end of the month where as before it was gone after about 3 days! So proud of you 🙂
Day 18
Feeling strange today. Have achieved lots but feeling a little lost and lonely? Had a couple of small urges but I think it's just a reaction to feeling out of sorts and a little anxious. Mega busy day today so no chance I actually be able to gamble anyway but I'm getting more used to recognising the urges and potential triggers.
Am checking in a lot this eve. Think I'm worried about being so close to 3 weeks and the 1 month targets but messing it up like I've done before.
Am going to schedule in another reward before 1 month to keep me on track. Just a little one but determined to stay focused and motivated!
Take it 1 day at a time red - u can do it x
Keep making progress red... no thoughts of slipping just onwards one day at a time.
