I can't believe it has been nearly 2 weeks since I posted and 123 days since my last relapse. Even with the start of the football season I dont have any urges to bet. Im also much more confident talking about my problems if people talk about betting. At the moment I feel I am in a good place but I know I have to fight this battle every day.
There has been the odd day when I have walked past the bookies with cash in my hand and I have thought I wonder what would happen, the truth is I now know what would happen and I dont want to go back into that dark place.
Wow its been 10 weeks since I last posted.
I have abstained and spoken more openly about my gambling problem in this time. I have had 1 urge in this period last week when I was hungover and in town. I walked by when there was a slight temptation and it felt good. I know where it would end and it wouldnt of been a good place. I also don't want that number to drop back to a 0!
I have relocated for work and I work long hours but it seems to be paying off, any spare cash I have at the moment is going on dental treatment but I feel in a much better place.
I hope everyone is well and taking it 1 day at a time.
