I reached an all time low around a week ago where my little boy was sleeping in the car and I went into a bookie that I was not excluded from and of course lost £500. When I came out my little boy was awake and crying because I was not there. I felt horrible ashamed stupid and upset because I was not there for him.
Read this part over again when you feel the need to gamble. That's a hard read for me to read never mind for you to live with that.
Hope you're keeping strong squire. Chin up.
Extremly Sad, no words can describe how bad I feel about that day something I will need to live with for the rest of my life.
But onwards and up wards no more gambling little boy top of the list all the way.
Stay G/f be a better person

So after my cousellor on Friday afternoon one thing I haev really taken on board.
1. Unacceptable behaviours.
2. Unacceptable behaviours turned into acceptable behaviour.
3. Unacceptable behaviours turned into acceptable behaviours turn into normal behaviours.
If you feel the above happening stop everything and rethink (w*f).
Anyway Stay Strong Stay G/f

Go and exclude yourself from there mate, take an option away.

So 2 days to go and that will be 28 a month woop, My next is smoking I am 40 years old and have smoked since I was 15 f-me 25 years enough is enough in 2 days time I will try to stop smoking.
Feeling strange today not really sure why, strange empty feeling in my belly, and almost to the point where I could cry. Mountians of work to do but don't know where to start, I have clients coming in 10 minutes and really have nothing to say.
What a strange feeling wonder where this came from today.
Anyway day 28 I WILL STOP SMOKING
Malc
Boost of the day little man's nursery was only £700 instead of £1200 got to love the british goverment.
Keep going with this. You are doing brilliant. Here's to March being totally gamble free.
And I'm with you on the smoking thing. Now I have this new mindset I am feeling much more determined to fix other areas of my life. Smoking is the next one!
Affected by gambling?
