Still here. Still one day ahead of you. Still tempted. But want to get my debt cleared this year, so having a break from it all for a while.

Keep in touch

Just put in a crazy month chasing losses like a lunatic. have lost all sense of reality and value in money. I am digging a very deep dark hole for myself and I don't know how to stop.

Why when I know I have a major problem can I not do something about it.? I feel sick to the pit of my stomach for the last month and still have not stopped. Iost the guts of a months pay in the last two days and am close to maxing two cc's.

this has to stop now or things will end badly.

Day 1 tomorrow I guess.

pat

Hey Pat, welcome back to the forum. You have made the right decision coming back and facing your demons. We have all slipped and know how you are feeling right now but those feelings will subside. Keep your chin up and keep posting x

Hi Pat,

Welcome back to the forum. I joined here over 3 months ago and find it really helpful. I know i have to stay close, i don't trust myself to face it all on my own. You did right thing coming back, you know that you can have all the support here, and supporting others is huge push on our own recovery.

Day at a time...this is famous saying here, which is 100% true.

Just for today...we will make it

Keep posting and i will look forward to follow your progress

Take care

Sandra x

day 3 done, the sick feeling in the pitt of my stomach means no thoughts of gambling. knowing me that will wear off soon... i have to get a hold of this this time. i know the lack of cash at present will help, am paid this week so that cannot be touched as have so many things to backfill money wise. will keep positive.

Hello Pat,

I read your first post last week but have unfortunately been going through a crisis of my own, hence my delay in replying. It has been on my mind to do so, though.

Sorry to hear of your ups and downs. I too am at that sickening stage. In fact, I'm so sick to the core at the moment I can't bear to write my diary. I'm waiting a few days so I can start from a 'feeling better' perspective, like you did all that time ago (2011 - where does the time go??).

if you're seriously interested in having another go together, give us a prod. It worked well last time.

Mm
