Enjoy your massage and let that knot go. I know it's scary but don't let it own you. You're back and fighting again! So proud of you 🙂 x
Day 13 - 19/1/17
Really enjoyed my massage. Started to look at debts etc last night. Once I'm on top again I will be ok. Just got a few payday loans I need to sort out first and over limits etc :/ trying to stay positive as each gf day is one step forward not back. Life is for living. And this year I want it more about me. If I beat this addiction I want to use it to change my life. Do more fun things. Try new things. Enjoy my life. Be happier. And on and on ....
Great plans 🙂 and lovely to see you treating yourself rather than letting the self loathing conscience take your over two weeks achievement power away. More than half way to a month. 1 day at a time 🙂 xx
Day 16 - 22/1/17
I just want a different life for myself and being gf is part of it. OH still gambling which means temptation is always there but feeling strong at the moment
Day 17 - 23/1/17
Feeling positive. Can't say I haven't not thought about gambling but keeping urges under control. Payday Friday.
Day 20 - 26/1/17
Feeling proud I didn't succumb today. Had a lot going on lately and could have turned to my crutch but I know it's only going to make things worse
That's right babe! 🙂 well done and happy 3 week eve xx
A massage is always a better alternative when feeling stressed rather than the self destruct way of trying to gain some control. Two of a kind we are 😉
Day 21 - 27/1/17
3 weeks and payday. Haven't got enough money to pay all bills with my wages so stressing. Would normally gamble to either forget the problem or try and win enough to pay the bills. I know that this won't help. Will stay strong x have purged and bought a few things from catalogue including go ape tickets for me and OH.
Day 23 - 29/1/17
Had a bad weekend. Feeling low. Having to juggle and decide what to pay and what not to pay as I don't have enough money. The reality of my blip/s which take a long time to rectify
But you're working towards rectifying them x stronger every gamble free day! 1 day at a time 🙂
I month tomorrow XD!!!
Day 27 - 2/2/17
Had a few more niggles and urges lately. Could have gambled last night but booked a night away for my birthday instead. Having massage and facial tomorrow too. It's not about being able to afford them but I think if I'm not gambling spending £20 on a couple of treatments or £60 for a hotel I would have wasted that possible in 10 mins or half hour. Want to enjoy my life. I am depressed and I'm on tablets but have decided this year is going to be more about me and making memories and having fun. Hoping that might lift my mood x staying gf means I can do nice things and start bringing my debt down too. I did work it out the other day it's over 7 grand. Need to look at figures and work out plan of action. Plan at jo is to stay gf x
1 month! So proud of u xx 🙂
Just focus on the gf and looking after yourself the rest will take care of its self
Day 28 - 3/2/17
Thanks red having more urges but just trying to remember what I can do with the money if I don't gamble etc it's just not worth it
So true and eventually it will be you're first thought and life will feel easier and generally happier x
