Thanks for your posts hopelass and hans appreciate it n to day 32 not that the days are important anymore it's more just like an episode it's now I know though that there is no going back couldn't undo all the hardwork anxiety and stress I've been through over last few weeks its not easy quitting something that helps you through but in reality we know it doesn't help it just makes it worse have good day everyone x

Bear,
Isn't it strange that what we believed was something that moved is and realised from the stress of the "real world" was actually the cause of the anxiety and stress!
Have a good day bear.

What a lovely palce you are in right now Bear, identifying causes of stress and anxiety and putting strategies in place to deal with them, it sounds like the CBT is doing you the power of good and should be prescribed for all CG's!!
Having peace of mind is so rich and rewarding.
Keep up this fantastic work you are doing.
Enjoy your day too
Best wishes

Thanks bear will look it up enjoy your spa
Day 38 lovely weekend no thoughts of gambling still learning about myself and my anxietys through these cbt sessions I'm having they certainly make you see differently, gambling for me is an illness that can't be cured with antibiotics or medicine but a lot of hard work but it can be done you just have to be ready for the challenges if life I've realised how mentally immature I am for a 40 year old man it's ridiculous but now I'm aware I can deal with it, anyway enough from me today have a good Monday everyone.
