DAy 2 - Not gambling
Felt the urge while in the shop this morning to buy a scratch card but never did.
I have had periods of a bet before but back to square one again with the support of my family.
Day 3 - No gambling
Struggling today with the adrenaline rush and the urge to gamble. Havent succumbed mainly because i dont have access to money which is good. Ive got a life to lead again ambling free and fun times and a nice holiday next month to look forward too. Gambling just causes me missary.
DAy 6 - No gambling
Have a councilling session tonight, be good to talk through some stuff. As ive said i have had two periods gambling free both a year and a half but this time i'm feeling more down then i have before even though the debt is minute compared to the other times.
Great weekend though with family and what a relief to not think about gambling. The adrenaline rush is a big issue for me as i get that a lot and its probably a reason why i'm addicted as i like the rush so be good to talk about that and how i can control it.
Day 7 - No gambling
A week. i'm quite pleased as i havent gone this far in over 4 months.
I feel mentally exhausted with all the gambling i have done lately that its a relief not to think about it. Living like a child with only pocket money for lunch is helping a lot.
Onwards to hopefully the next week gambling free
Onwards and upwards Mullen, congratulations on achieving your first week in your most recent abstainance! You have already proven to yourself that you can go the distance when it comes to wanting to stop - keep showing gambling who's boss!
Best Wishes,
-Ryan.
Day 8 - No gambling
Thanks Ryan
Did a financial inventory last night and to be fair we, fiance and I, are in a good position with little debt. Bills up to date now. The issue was gambling all my disposable income leaving me with nothing for the month.
Gambling makes everything seem worse and theres always answers to lifes problems that gambling certainly cannot solve. The sun is out its time to enjoy life again - gambing free
Day 13 i think and no gambling
All good, furthest from my mind gambling at the minute. its not until youve had a period away from gambling that your mind settles and begins to think logically again. Feel calmer.

Brilliant news. Keep up the hard work and don't be fooled that one bet is ever ok
Day 17 - No gambling
Simple no gambling - enjoying life
Holiday next month had to refinance a little bit and re jig things but the monies there if i don't gamble it away this time.
The adrenaline rush urge is going away. Dealing with stress by walking its amazing how good a walk clears the mind.
Keep well all and keep suceeding in your goals
