Thanks for your post Sandra 🙂 day 76 keeping on the positive trail paying things off steadily had a lot if debt it does go down slowly and my thinking does tell me to have one big bet and clear it all with the winnings obviously I'm not taking losing in to my thinking which will happen 🙂 because once I start I can't stop have a good day everyone x

So after 76 days of abstinence my life comes to a blinding halt big cbt therapy session on Wednesday causes me to question some of my mums ways and so in Turn comes the blazing argument which produces me to gamble the worst thing is I won a grand and it's the unhappiest I've felt although will say one thing I've found where my association with gambling has come from, its a comfort emotional thing for me I need to start giving it more to my girlfriend and my baby that's due in march this lesson I have learnt is a big one though not costly I will learn and start again I will never stop fighting.

Hi bear,
It was a tough lesson to learn indeed. I find turning to slots my calming escape, don't need arguments, just not interested what's going on around me.
You have to concentrate on yourself and ur loved ones...god..new little baby on a way, that would change your life completely.
I know how hard is to get rid of this habit, but we keep fighting and learning from the mistakes.
Be strong and look after urself and ur gf
Take care
