Hi everybody!Â
This isn’t my first diary on the site. But I am determined to make this my last for good. Recently I have fallen into past habits of gambling over Christmas. Always starting off sensibly then getting out of control as it always does! We convince ourselves we can control it but we all know the outcome and it’s more about when. Luckily I’m in no debt it doesn’t make it any less severe but it is one less thing to worry about if I can get it under control now. I am registered to Gamstop and have a gambling blocking software on my phone. I have limited amounts of money due to my gambling habits. I am also trying to fill my time in by going to the gym and going on walks things much more productive than gambling.Â
Thanks for reading I hope this diary keeps me accountable.Â
6/1/22 - The day I decided to stop gambling with my life.Â
Thanks for posting on my diary I thought I would do the same.
we can never control it that is for sure I’m sure we all wish we could bottle that feeling when we lose and have it on demand. One day at a time my friend keep checking in and u can do itÂ
Thanks, yes I agree if we could bottle up the feeling after a gambling session I’m sure we would never consider doing it again. Thanks for the comment on the diary one day at a time we can all conquer this horrible addiction.Â
