Again I have been on the self destruct and gambled 100s of pounds I haven't got, I am so fed up and annoyed with myself, I feel physically sick, its like I have no conception of the damage I am doing when I'm on online gaming sites. Tomorrow is a new day 1 and I am going to fight with all my might to beat this addiction forever.... here goes....got to keep on trying. J x
Have you lost enough yet ? Family ? Friends ?
I don't talk soft... sorry !
Keep on trying Jaz you can do it it's tough but 1 day at a time try and put barriers in place and get friends family etc etc to help you x
Day 1 is here without gambling, I'm off to work now so that should keep me busy, No I haven't lost my family or friends yet which is why I'm here to stop before that happens. So I'm taking a day at a time and today I WILL NOT GAMBLE!!!! J x
Hi Jaz
Sorry to read of your slip but very well done on your determination to keep going
One day at a time abstaining and maintaining is the only way to WIN and move forwards to a happier and healthier life
Stay positive and keep going

Well done for being honest and coming back with such determination! Everyone has slip ups.
you can do this just take each day at a time!
Ty for your words of encouragement on my diary Hun x
Come on!!!i can tell this my friend i thought i would never get rid of this disease but i dont play for almost nine months and its all about how much you want it...i never felt so happy in the last twenty years like i do now...keep strong and get yourself excluded from all shops and bet sites avoid money and cash cards with you and its halfway to success .wish you the best!
Thanks for the comments guys, it's only day 2 today and I am struggling, it feels like gambling is always on my mind I wish I could just wipe it out. Going to have an early night tonight so going to turn the laptop off for now, I'm working tomorrow so will hopefully check in tomorrow night at the end of day 3...... J x
jaz i've been there too, i'm only recently back and posting in my diary again. You will feel low for a few days, but remember there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The gamcare number is free to call from the top 6 mobiles - i didn't know this until tonight, if the urge comes back pick up the phone, you know where the other road leads to...
I think there is software you can install to block the gambling sites? I would look at doing this if I were you.
Jaz
It takes great strength to post when were feeling so low from the affects gambling has played in our lives , try to draw strength from this and put it into you recovery
One day at a time and stay close to your diary when the urges come
