The first day went easy, perhaps because I didn’t have cash. Today, it’s only 10:00 AM, and I feel the dark gambling cloud over me. It doesn’t help that I have a coworker talking about matches throughout the day and asking what time I'm going to the bookies, who also has a gambling problem."

perhaps telling your co worker that you have stopped gambling and explain the reason why .if they are a true friend they will desist.if they keep on trying to tempt you back then maybe they want you to fail to.make themselfs feel better always best to ditch them if this happens as they don't have your best interests at heart

hope for the best for you Jay consider also effectively banning yourself from the bookies through the moses scheme it's very easy to set up on your phone it's just a quick phone call  they will then send you a link to upload a photo too and on the phone call they will have a map of all the local bookies you want to ban yourself from and send your picture to them not to let you bet in their shop effective immediately  if you get tempted back in the bookies and win they are well within their rights not to pay you out as you have broken your contractual agreement not to go into the shops for a period of 18 months .also put a block on your bankcard online for gambling sites and use gamban to block you from.betting online and use the gamcare site to help you on your journey back to a happy life

14 days still don’t  feel happy hard to snap out of the mood swings. Think it cause I’m still in a deep hole money wise. The bills keep coming not going to lie I miss it but I know I can’t start again.

Hi Jay.

Just wanted to remind you that the first three months I would say, are financially the hardest.  However, mentally, it should become much better for you prior to this 🙏.

Keep posting, keep reading and keep taking things a day at a time.

All the best.

Pink Lady 🩷🍎.

I need someone to give me a shake! I’ve been flat out gambling back on the chase. None stop losing but still keep doing it, I keep digging a deeper hole for myself just can’t shake off the gambling thoughts
