hi wishesd in one way gambling has beaton us , but with our fight back and not giving in any more to gambling i actually think i/we have beaton gambling [ the addiction ] in the end.

just read part of duncs post he wrote on somebody elses diary , and it made me feel really good . I DID WIN BECAUSE I DID STOP . that is exactly how i feel at the moment , and it feels good

Hey tryer and good to see you reaping the benefits of this recovery. Yes, that's right - you did win because you did STOP!!

Keep up the good work and be proud 🙂

I am just about to go out for a family day out but before i go i just wanted to say thanks for your message of support.. I will get looking at your diary in more detail later but it looks like your doing good! Ill be in touch!!

feal better just read someones post about feeling sane not gambling, kinda of forgotten that part , about how insane you feel when gambling , its funny how when you stop doing something bad you end up forgetting the feelings ect... you felt when you were doing that bad thing . I havnt gambled for a bit now and wont ever again , now remembering those feelings i had of complete and utter lack of control over my life, fear, self loathing , lieing , pointlessness , living for nothing except filling someones pockets , stupidity , i will never ever go back to that , no matter what the problem gambling is not the answer . i will now be ordering a new debit card tomorrow and actually believe in myself and trust myself not to use it for gambling, that feels so good . a big life lesson learnt not to gamble for so many reasons but through gambling i have also learnt what is impotant in life , so learning that i think is a pro to going through this silly gambling expedition , [ although nothing is worth gambling ] I DID WIN BECAUSE I DID STOP HURRAY

Approval or credit , i dont think i have given myself enough of these for my daily job that i do ! i am self employed and i think sometimes i have doubted weather i am doing a good job or not , and alot of the time being self employed you are on your own physically and even if people are there you are mentally on your own, and if a problem occurs you can take it personally and really you might still be doing a good job , but the customer themself might be being unreasonable , blaming you make you feel like your doing a bad job when your not and actually your doing a good job , but hate to be honest but its the customer who sometimes when being unreasonable creating a problem that is not there, that then it is there fault not yours. So i give myself credit and approval for doing an awkward and difficult job for 16 years. I dont know but think in the past with letting customers get to me and not giving myself credit and approval for the job i do , and taking things personally when i shouldnt as it is not my fault but also only a job even when self employed and so not to be taken personally i dont know but maybe i have let this get to me , and then maybe needed escape from this , and after going to a casino i think without realising it i think at that time i found my escape [ but was a bad thing as destroyed my bank balance , caused addiction like i have never known caused me to lie to people i would never consider lieing to changed me into a bad person ect.. ect.. ect..., ] but instead now giving myself a pat on the back for putting up with the cr** part of the job and doing a good job all day every day and giving myself approval and credit for the job i do , and this is what i now do and now will continue to do , and should of done before as then i would not of needed an escape down that dark horrible tunnel .read something on someone elses diary that has made me realise this . thanks
