Day 24
OH been gambling a lot in front of me lately. Not had urges but it’s not good to tempt fate
Day 25
Staying gf. Highly stressed atm
Evening, Been reading though your posts for a few days now, I’m not criticising although I am, surely having a OH that continues to gamble is a burden on yourself, you wouldn’t take your alcoholic husband into a pub a month int9 rehab would you. I think what he 8s doing is very disrespectful, how on offer are you meant to stop when the other half in your life doesn’t really care if you do or don’t hence other then losing mone6 you have no consciences. On bright side I’m happy to see your back on the wagon and I’m looking forward to reading how your getting on!
Day 26
It’s hard we are both on our own journeys. It does annoy me that he doesn’t seem to try and stop but I can only be responsible for myself. Trying hard. A little bit tempted last night as I had a payout from a payday refund but I was strong paid off a loan and bought a groupon experience. He is very depressed at the moment and going through some health problems not that it excuses it. I only started gambling because of his habits and I regret it
Day 27
My head has been terrible lately. Need to reduce stress. Need to remember gambling won’t help. It may have felt like an escape before but it just traps you
Been a few days how are things you feeling less stressed now? ....
Day 30
Still stressed and still feeling rubbish but still gf too. Thanks for dropping by 🙂
Day 31
Felt annoyed earlier and had a thought to gamble to get away. Luckily it’s just a thought
Glad too see your gf still, weather is booming, summer is just beginning let’s sll enjoy life gf and enjoy are hard earned cash !
Day 35
You are so right. There are so many better ways to use the cash we earn and so many places and debts and bills I need to pay first. The mentality of a gambler is not a rational one I’m afraid as with all addictions at the time. Looking back it seems I use it as an escape as a drug and the gambling is the high and the effects are the come down. Happier when I am gf but the OH has been gambling constantly lately and it shows in his change of mood
Day 37
Had a few temptations the last few days. Think stress is definitely a trigger
Well done on keeping away from temptation! 🙂
Day 43
Had a few more urges last couple of days. Not massive but the thoughts have been there. I remind myself why I’m not gambling and how I will feel afterwards too
Day 47
Still gf.
Day 50
Had some fleeting urges recently. Stress related and money problems so stupid brain thinks about winning big
