You're probs just feeling tempted cos anxious about OH pay day and whether or not he will gamble. Just focus on you and Paige for now 🙂 gambling will not make u happy, even if you win, it never feels good xx stay strong

Day 60 - 16/4/16

You are right i have to focus on myself. The OH didnt gamble on payday (so i started to believe he was going to try) but he did do it yesterday! Had a gambling dream last night - glad it was only a dream

Well done chic. The fact that u actually can't bail him out might be the rock bottom moment he needs (hopefully). And the thought that you gambling to try and come to the rescue will just hurt u further so stomp on those pesky urges 🙂

You are doing amazing! 63 days - 9 weeks!! In it together xx

Feel like c**P - literally overwhelmed with emotions at the mo. Anger Frustration Desperation Depression Feeling like i may aswell give in and gamble at least i will feel better while i am gambling!!! Thats what a little part of me is thinking. The rational part said come on here let it out and keep strong. Soooo close to giving up at the moment. Red glad of your support - seeing that when i logged in has helped but its tempting!

Don't do it chic, know those feelings all too well x you came on here which just shows how strong you are. You know my past slips and I would have given in for a lot less but you can totally do this! Think about getting counselling for yourself, it really has helped me deal with my and OH potential for gambling and my general overwhelming emotions.

Always here no matter what x see you tomorrow for day 64 gf. One day at a time x

Grrrrr, what an irresponsible Father, he makes my blood boil 🙁

Seriously W2S, as Red says, please consider getting some help for you! Depression is no fun & this sort of stress on top of it plus looking after your little Angel makes life really bloody hard!

Keep fighting - ODAAT
