Thank you to everyone for all advice, really means a lot. Told my mum about everything and has been a massive weight of my shoulders. It’s going to be a long journey but with all the blocks in place, life should finally start getting back to normal. Looking forward to enjoying the little things without having to worry about money. Day 3 of many, let’s do this!
Day 5 and feeling good. Trying to keep myself busy but I’m running out of things to do, really need to get a hobby.

Well done, Fresh - every day is a victory. You're doing really well.
Have you tried going out for a walk, getting your step count up? Maybe read a book or try out a new podcast.
How have you been doing in the last few days, Fresh?
I’ve been doing good, thanks for asking. I’m on day 11 and I’ve not had any urges really but they always come back eventually. Feeling confident that when they do, I’ll have enough blocks in place that I can’t act on them. Just taking it one day at a time.

That's honestly great news. I'm so glad it's working for you. What do you think is making it work now compared to previous attempts?
I think you're approaching it in the right way - you're right to celebrate your success but also to be being cautious. Well done, man!
