Four days now completed gamble free, though somehow feels longer than that.
Having a remorseful feeling of wishing I could turn the clock back and have withdrawn from my account earlier - all futile, because I can’t and in reality the money is gone and won’t come back - there is little point to rationalise it or dwell on it - I need to learn from my experiences and not repeat them
How's things today?
Hope you are staying strong...is it 6 days today?
I have now completed 7 days
I’m feeling low about something else today, which makes it hard to feel good about not gambling, but I’m sticking with it
Remember everyday is an achievement, well done! I'm sorry you feel down for another reason I hope it improves soon for you. You can do this!
That’s me now at 11 days and feeling good about it. I’ve been busy with a lot of work and home matters, so little time to think about gambling or dwell on mistakes of the past.
That said, so important not to get complacent - this is what happened last time round, I need to stay focused
Yesterday was day 15 without a bet, whilst I’ve had some thoughts I’ve not acted on them and get some comfort from the protections I have put in place to stop me gambling
great work Kensington sounds like you've taken the power back, gamstop is keeping you safe. as the gf days mount up you replace the gambling buzz with the buzz of watching those gf days mount up a day at a time. its natural you'll have thoughts but when you overcome them it gives you strength, ive had loads of gambling dreams as well, always with massive wins of course, keep up the good work
