Thank you Sharon.
Hi our Lady, thanks for your post. I've got a bit lost now with me not using the site so much and, sadly, all the new names. It's nice to get a message from you.
155 days, that's a great achievement!
3 months gf always seems to be my achilles heel but now my family have got involved I'm feeling more confident.
You're right it's a good feeling to be able to go out and buy the odd thing, be it a gift and even a treat for ourselves!!
Stay strong. I hope your job improves. Whatever happens, most things are better than the self - loathing feeling that comes with a big loss at gambling x
Day 161.
Thanks LML.
The weeks are just flying by, both in work and at home. Had so many different social events going on lately - wow! That feels so normal to say now!! Gambling is just not on the agenda, nor do I feel the inclination to attempt to.
I am at peace with myself (well apart from the demands from work) but at least I have a job that pays the bills and more! My life/mind have now resumed to"normal" status and that's good enough for me. My anxieties that came with gambling have subsided and my day to day life is just calmer.
Take care all - have a safe g.f week and so will I.
Our Lady
