I haven't made an entry to my diary this month so thought i had best update it.
I am still going strong. i haven't had a single bet in a calander month come this weekend.
I did have a few gremlins creep into my head last week however when i sat down with my wife and worked out our finances for the forthcoming 6 months and it put it into perspective the financial burden i have placed on my family recently.
We were in a good place financially but now that i have accrued the financial debt that i have through gambling things will be rather tight leading up to Christmas and into the new year when our new born will be with us.
I must admit once we had gone through it all a side of me was saying that it could all be fixed with a gamble and it sent me into quite a down state of mind in convincing myself otherwise and that it will not fix things just make them worse than they are.
I stayed strong, slept on it and awoke focused and positive about the progress i have made and am making with not gambling.
Sounds like your on pretty rocky ground at the moment.
