Hi diary here i am again back again with my tail between my legs.
This is probably my 7th serious attempt at stopping gambling and i hope my last.
Fruit machines are my downfall and always have been. I have not been gambling alot recently but when i do i lose alot and fast.
I know what has to been done to stop this as i have had gamble free periods in the past.
Gambling is evil and so addictive i dont even know why i do it to be honest, when i have a rational moment after ive lost i cant believe what i have done its almost like a out of body experience. I dont know if others on here get like that.
So here goes Day 1
Jamie
Feeling angry with myself today that i am back at the start of this journey.
Its been a gamble free day, so a good day. Have a small urges but nothing to bad.
Sick of feeling like ///// after i gamble, feeling sorry for myself, wondering why i do it. I am sick of the excuses i make for myself the problem is i have not been strong enough in the past and that has got to change.
Day 2 gamble free
Dont be angy at yourself as you have completed day 2 without gambling and throwing your hard earned cash away.
Stay strong and be proud of yourself!
Gambling makes us feel useless and miserable but by abstaining it then gives us feelings of pride and self-worth again - something we all have been lacking for various timescales.
Keep hold of that selfworth and look forward never back 🙂
Thanks Zally your right selfworth is the key i think.
Day 3 and 4 have passed without gambling i am happy to say. Not had to many urges which has been good.
Feeling more positive at the moment. A day without gambling is a good day.
