Hi all,13 days free.
Tonight I realised a trigger. 4 days of work and about 10 pm,a huge urge to gamble. I sat in my car, then I drove outside the gym.sat there for half hour fought the urge to gamble and I went in and worked out.it did the trick.spare time and gambling teying to trick you into giving in and that some how it will be a different outcome.Â
But iv came to realise win lose is all the same it robs my peace and my ability to live a normal life and I will not give in.
Hope I can always be strong when I need too.

Well done on beating the urge, it's not easy once it's in your head! Such a good feeling when you don't give in not like the awful feeling you get after you have gambled
Urges are important to understand and interesting, in my own case, when tired, depressed, stressed or bored, also certain times and days of the week. Try to realize them as you have, spot them as early as possible and avoid to minimize the risks. It really is worth giving an hour quietly working out the triggers and the lead up to your potential triggers.Â
