Well done Lia,

And yea, urges are evil thing to deal with. I find it easier to try and keep myself busy at those moments, or just come on here and pour my heart out:-)

You doing great!! 13 days is massive and they will soon add up to months and years.

Believe in urself - you can do it!!

Day at a time

Have a nice Sunday

Well done Lia, you're doing so well, I am on Day 1 again!! This time have put the online blocks in place so am hoping they will help me fight the urges. I have wasted so much time and money over the last few years my last downfall being on Saturday where I was just going deposit a fiver which ended up being around £100. money I couldn't afford to throw away. Anyway looking forward not backwards now.. Keep strong L x

Well done Lia

I'm 2weeks also. Haven't they dragged. I've just written in my recovery diary how I've felt like I've been mourning. Weird

Hey Lia

Well done on 15 days gamble free. I'm afraid urges gonna keep coming back, but as long as you keep them as a " thought " and not acting on them - you are safe my friend.

A bit more believing in yourself and keep positivity going 🙂

Take care

You doing great !!

I'm now on day 18! I am doing so well. The urges are starting to get less. If I'm busy it stops me thinking about trying to find a website where I haven't excluded myself from. I will beat this! X
