So to keep it short ive went and blew whats left of my wages again. im sick of this and it does nothing but hurt me and those around me. im hoping to keep some sort of a diary on here as i feel that would help when i get urges.
Well done for posting mate ?
Have you found out what are your triggers to gamble?
What steps are you taking to protect yourself next time? E.g. gambling blocks and self exclusions?
Coming on this site for support has been essential for me over the past few weeks. I am sure it will do for you as well.
You have got this!
When all is lost the best thing to do is find yourself and doing that is a regular diary or inventory of one's self and actions. The repeating of abstaining and then blowing it all away happened to me time and time again until I started to know my triggers and change my habits online and off line.
Do not feel like you are alone, there are lots of people here who can help and share there experiences to get you through it. Yes bumps in the road happen but the main thing is that you made it here and want to stop!
Keep coming on this site if you get urges and I hope to see you post again
