My Diary - Day by Day

Thanks for the encouragement Suzanne - hope you are doing well too!!! (284 days - amazing!)

Ok so like i though my OH has gambled today and I have watched him and it has made me tempted but I am going to do this. Its mind over matter now. Going to go to bank and take out money so that I can't spend it online in case the temptation is too much. (small win - the OH didnt spend all his wages and actually withdrew 50 quid meaning he is only 50 down today which is much better than usual - usually he will keep playing until he has nothing left leaving us both in the s**t)

Big win - I havent gambled at all 🙂

Hi,

Hats off to you, and big high 5 that must be S****e watching him, Stick to your guns, and if he does run out, don't give him any, cos you are just feeding him, my son ran out just before Xmas but I did not give him a penny for his losses,

You are very brave to be in recovery, and watching him still gamble, but you are doing great, look after YOU, recovery is sooo worth doing,

Take care

Thanks Suzanne. It means a lot to me xxx

really pleased with myself. Day nearly over. Goal 2 nearly achieved! 🙂

Day 4 - 7/2/15

2nd goal achieved! Its day 4 and I am still here and still determined. Took money out of bank so I cant spend it online (however the dd money is still there so there is a possibility - however I am determined to keep strong)

Looking forward to choosing a 'reward' later today 🙂

Hey wants2stop,

Be very proud of getting to day 4, keep going, stay strong and focused and keep winning.

Well done on yesterday, must have been tough.

Thanks guys. This being accountable on here is great encouragement. As is the support and advice. 🙂 Half way through Day 4 now and getting a little easier although I am still thinking about it. Always hardest when you have money available. Working nights so might not get chance to buy my reward today but will keep you updated. Looking forward to saying its been a week gamble free...

Hi Wants2stop

Well done on day four great to see you living up to your forum name, remember how hard you work for your cash, keep it where it should be....in your purse...over half a week completed be very very proud have a good night at work... onwards and upwards Ginger.

Thanks Ginger 🙂

Took the family (OH and his son) for a meal tonight - wouldnt have been able to do that if i had gambled this week

Here's to another day gamble free 🙂

Day 5 - 8/2/15

So I have made it to Day 5 ...

Day 5 nearly over - still not bought my reward for 2nd goal but might get chance tomorrow. Still tempted but keeping myself busy 🙂

Day 6 - 9/2/15

Only 1 more day to go and i have done a whole week. It might seem lame but it has been hard not to gamble for this amount of time which goes to show i do have a problem. Really pleased with myself to getting this far. Good Luck to everyone having another gamble free day!

Hi wants2stop,

Well done on 6 days, and you deserve to feel pleased with yourself,

Stay strong and positive and keep winning and gifting yourself those rewards,

Suzanne xx

Gonna be tough this week. OH is on nights leaving me alone and more 'free' to gamble. Need to put in a plan of action to keep myself occupied 🙂

Reward 2 - Kindle book 79p (also downloaded 11 free books) Not got much money this week so didnt spend the 5 pound allocated as my 2nd reward but i still rewarded myself and with something that will occupy my time too 🙂

Onwards and Upwards xxx
