Well done on the 30 days bear. I have been struggling recently too all we can do is try and work through it, try and find other ways of dealing with stress and anxiety which don't involve gambling or anything else harmful to us.
Day 31 no gambling today felt tired and anxious since Wednesday got to work through it it's bloody difficult but I will fight 🙂

Well done the bear I ve not gambled in 49 days I used to gamble online roulette and in betting shops I lost thousands of pounds. thankfully im not gambling now thanks to gamblers anonymous ive not gambled in 49 days.
Hi stop well done to you great effort keep up the fight day 32 no thoughts of gambling to be honest just working through the negative thoughts its something gambling covered over for years and realised that even looking at horses now while not gambling is a kind of gambling on its own way so eliminated that as well, it's got to be done, anyway enough from me have great day everyone.

Bear,
Thank you for your post. I know how horrible anxiety can be mate. I was on medication for three years for it. It sounds like you are getting along great though, keep working hard at it. I promise it is worth it.
For me, anxiety was to do more with family issues, drugs and fear than Gambling. But then I did use gambling as an escape to all the above. The best thing I did was put the tablets away and forced myself to deal with the anxiety, I think it helped make me a stronger person without the reliance on medication.
Keep positive and keep going Bear, you will get their mate. If you counted your gambling days vs gaming free days...you are winning!
Onwards and upwards,
Hanz
