Well not so good. I need to start over...
Well almost 3 years on from the original post, I find myself wondering what I am doing this for?
Gambling has taken up more and more time in recent months and is starting to overtake life for me again.
I have once again decided that this is time to stop, but I know how hard it is to just get started!
Once again I am turning to the Gamcare Forum for my help.
I may be should have paid more attention to my post on 10th May last year!
Day 1 begins... at least it's sunny!
Ok, well first 24hrs safely negotiated - felt good.
Keep myself busy tomorrow. Onwards.
Just for today....
Been quite tough today with a few wandering thoughts, however I will get through it. Life seems a bit dull, but at least it's settled and much less stressful.
Hi Weldy
If dull means being settled, not being on a constant rollercoaster, having time on your hands, being free from the torment of gambling and having peace in your life, then give me dull any day of the week!
Dull is good...! Stay strong 🙂
Hi Weldy, well done for starting again. You can do this:) stay strong and keep going!
Thanks for the comments. Day 2 completed.
I didn't mean I was bored when I said it was dull and believe me I don't mind the peace and tranquility stopping gambling brings about.
I have been working hard today (oops - I see it's now Tuesday!) and put in 13hrs which were un-interupted hours! Woo hoo!
Looking forward to Day 3... Have a good day all
So begins another day. Day 3 for me and so just for today - I will not gamble!
Another day... another dime
Off to rehearsal now so day 3 safely negotiated and feeling real good about things
Great to feel free!
Into day 4 and feeling very tired with work and the music, but no urge to go and gamble which is good. Just for today...
Just spent a bit of time reading through my diary which was good and bad. It would seem that I am a habitual stopper shortly after Cheltenham time! Not the best kind of thing to realise.
It did though show me how this site aided my recovery and brought me back from the brink of disaster when I would definately tipped over the edge and I am very grateful to the site and all it's users for that fact.
I'm no saint, no leader of recovery... all I know is that right now I won't be gambling as I really don't want to.
Onwards.
Hi old friend
Just dropped in tonight to see how people were getting on. Hope you find a good place with your gambling soon again - be it not at all or however you can manage.
