Day 204 - 26/8/15
Payday tomorrow and reward time - still have a few to catch up on though. Had a gambling dreamlast night - felt very real - was so dissappointed with myself for giving in (in the dream) - makes me realise it really isnt worth having a little flutter
Hi wants2stop i haven't been on here for quite a while and sadly i had a bit of a setback but i'm back on the straight and narrow paying off my accrued debt and letting someone else have my bank card! My beautiful son arrived three months ago and seein him is all the incentive i need to not gamble but its still hard and i still have incredible urges but i want a better life for me and my family so i concentrate on the bigger picture. I look at your story and see it as an inspirstion and an example of just what can be achieved. Keep it up and well done!
Day 205 - 27/8/15
Reward time 🙂
Good luck New - it is all worth it for your son - the only inspiration needed xxxx (oh and congrats)
Just bought a load of kindle books for my payday reward 🙂
Day 206 - 28/8/15
Day 207 - 29/8/15
Been tempted again lately but keeping strong. Also dont want to jinx it but OH has not gambled for 4 weeks either!!!
Me too, and me too with the OH!! We can do this! The treats and achievements make it all worth it and we can feel like the strong successful people that we once were/are!!
In it together and winning everyday we don't gamble 🙂 xx
Hi wants2stop
First of all congrats on 207 days.
Like yourself I've been having gambling dreams. In my dream I'm saying to myself it's only a wee bet it won't do you any harm. So I place the bet and I can't remember if I win or not. When I wake up I'm so disappointed that I've gambled. Biggest relief when i realise its a dream but its crazy what your brain can do.
Keep up the good work and enjoy your treat.
Day 208 - 30/8/15
Glad its not just me having these 'crazy' dreams lol 🙂 its the feeling i get after the dream which makes me realise when i am tempted that deep down i will just disappoint myself and others and its not worth it.
Keep strong and in hard times keep stronger!
Day 6 - no gambling - the first few days were the hardest, more the gilt, frustration and anxiety of loosing.. Never want those feelings again - feeling positive again, and with two crazy days ahead of me at work I should have plenty to keep me occupied until day 9...
Hope you all have a great bank holiday with no gambling.. Stay strong out there
