Day 257 - 18/10/15
Thanks - just feeling depressed lately and as i said before gambling used to be my escape - even though i know i would feel worse afterwards! Not feeling tempted today just miserable 🙁 OH on nights next week which always seems to pull at me too as i am alone
Day 258 - 19/10/15
Starting another week - still overdue some of my rewards - a case of not having time or money at the moment. Been worrying about my maternity pay reducing, going back to work, chilldcare, losing weight, feeling ill etc Leading to urges to 'escape' and gamble. Got my sensilble head on today - i know that if i gamble would just be adding to the list of worries!
Hi I'm paul just read though your post what a achievement this is why I came to here to try to follow people's like your footsteps well done
Good work sensible head 😉
Thanks both 🙂 Feeling them urges - Paige wont sleep and home alone but decided to pop on here instead of popping on a gambling site.
Day 259 - 20/10/15
It would be so easy to give in and to deposit right now - sometimes the best decisions are the hardest to do. I wont give in!
I got through the night and abstained
One day at a time, 1 hour at a time, 1 minute at a time. Gf 🙂
Day 260 - 21/10/15
Terrible night with Paige again :/
And yes the mantra is right Red when needed take it 1 at a time - be it day hour min or sec 🙂

Need to think of rewards and give myself the last lot i have missed (for motivational purposes!)
Definitely! Get yourself those well earned rewards. The positive reminders of why we shouldn't gamble are the best 1's.
Some nice aromatherapy? Lavender and eucalyptus scents are great.
Day 260 and doing amazing! 🙂
