Lets go into the weekend positive 🙂

Athena

Today is the start of day 9 GF, feeling strong and can't wait to reach double figures. Even envisioning triple figures this time which I haven't done before, but 1 day at a time...

Today is day 10, nice to be in double figures.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about gambling, going to keep as busy as possible today.

Stay strong on this Sunday all xx

Well done laura on achievving double figures! Stay focused and gf and I know youll reach tiple figures before very long!

Day 11 🙂

Even after just 11 days, already noticing a difference in terms of bank balance..

It's nice to be able to pay debt back on time, do a grocery shop without counting every single penny and enjoy a coffee at costa! You really forget about the little things when your every waking thought is consumed with gambling.

Day 12...

I dreamt about gambling last night, I lost all this months rent/bills money. It felt so realistic, I even had to check my bank balance when I work up. Such a horrible feeling and never want to be there again for real.

Today marks 2 weeks gamble free, It's a good feeling and not the type of good feeling when the roulette wheel lands on your lucky number. It's a feeling of self accomplishment and strength!

Congratulations Laura on your first 2 weeks Gamble free and more importantly gaining control of your life once again , in 2 more weeks when you achieve your first month you'll feel even more strenght and determination :))

Well done and keep pushing forward .

All the best :))

Hi Laura 🙂

I just saw your post on Mixer's challenge and thought I'd respond on your's .

Look your only a couple of weeks in and Mr G isn't going to leave you in peace all the time now is he ? , He loves nothing better than to gently whisper in your ear that the coast is clear and you can come back anytime you like , it will pass Laura but you do have to fight it , go out for along walk in the sunshine , have a coffee somewhere and enjoy the day but please don't wake up on a lovely Sunday morning thinking " Oh my god I'm back to day one " youv'e worked hard for that fortnight so don't let it go ! .

I also have to ask " Why no blocking software on your laptiop " ? K9 's a free one or netnanny or gamblock are at a charge ?

Just do it you know it makes sense :))

Hi Laurainsky,

I just read Alan's post and then your other one...

same lines as Alan's sentiments,

rather than focus on what you aren't going to do today, i.e. you aren't going to gamble, how about three things you WILL do before you bf gets home/ before you go to bed?

just some ideas:

Go for a walk/run/jog/swim

Go for a coffee, take a book or newspaper

do a few chores in the house, if you do stay turn off the wifi for the day - you don't need it

let us know and then go do them

do some scratch cooking, go buy the raw fruit and veg, cook a nice wholesome, healthy dinner

It is bloody hard work this, the struggle is real, grab a positive thought and stick to that

also whatever you do, drink water, take a breath
