Hi you said you were stressed. A trigger maybe? Start again, it's great you came here and wrote it down. Get the blocks in place and shut the door you left open.
Day 0
In less than 48 hours I managed to deposit £325 and run up the credit card again too. Obviously disappointed however something I’m learning to do is forgive myself. If we don’t forgive we can’t move on feeling proud to come on here less than 48 hours later and out a stop to it. Looking back one blip in over 5 months I will take that.
Thanks for the positive post the worst thing that can happen is come on here to know it all posts when you already know what you have done. So thank you. Back on it.
Day 1
Trying to stay positive and forgive myself
Just about to say the same thing! You have a good 160 days previously and I have admired your strength and despite urges and other half gambling. You can do this for sure. Agreed treat yourself aS someone you respect and care for, Take care S x
Thanks for the lovely posts. I stupidly deposited again today. The money I had won went in won £50 out of £325 and my silly brain tried to win it back plus another £32. So super skint now too. Have excluded from the sites now as I knew if I didn’t I would try again thurs when I get some money. Come on girl get your head back together!
Day 4
Glad I self excluded or I would have gambled yesterday when I got more money
Day 6
Not thought or had an urge to gamble. Been quite stressed this week. OH been in hospital had ambulance out etc. Messed up on diet and comfort ate better than gambling.
Thinking of you W2S, hope OH is ok but remember to take care of yourself, hugs Sx
Day 7
Another first week done. Feeling a bit better. Put on 7lb in a week though so not happy about that. OH is ok some cardiac follow ups and a bit of TLC and he should be fine. Need to be kinder to myself to. Need to look after myself and stay gf as it’s going to take a long way to come out the other side
