Starting today, 25Nov 2024. 
Early gambler, still in time to stop.

I intend to write here every day if I was able not to gamble.

You are and always will be able to gamble important thing is asking yourself do I want to do it again?Do I want to fall into that trap again like I just did last time?Do I want to live this life of emptiness again?Do I want to be broke again?

I know I will be in danger of getting back to gambling at anytime for rest of the life but I've got a plan I've got blocks in place and I've got clear visibility along in my head that whatever situation life brings in I won't turn into gambling there is no chance.Nobody and nothing can mock me back in.

Hi

By attending meeting you can not only abstain from gambling but live a much healthier life.

I am an addict who had has a hurt inner child who is still healing.
 
I am very much a non-religious person.
 
Being emotionally vulnerable does not mean you are weak, not at all and making a call indicates how much you value yourself.
 
Emotional triggers for me my were pains I could not heal, an emotional trigger were my were fears I could not face and reduce, an emotional trigger were my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations I could reduce, an emotional trigger were my fears of emotional intimacy and feeling a loner and disconnected, an emotional trigger for me was boredom because I could feel productive and I was not able to commit to my needs my wants and in time set goals for me to achieve.
 

Yet I am a much healthier spiritual person.

Today I failed, and -50 again.

Balance is -1500 GBP since I first gambled.

Nothing too big, I just have to accept the loss and from now on I cannot fail again.
