Time to quit for good

Thanks, going well.

First time have kept a diary and it helps a lot.

Still no gambling 🙂

Day 8 £60.00

Nice one mate! Every day feels a little bit better than the last!

Thanks, getting used to it but still will update here as long as i remember to it helps a lot.

Day 9 : £67.50

No urges lately, done quite a bit of reading on the addiction yesterday. Realised i have been addicted to the high of bet not caring a lot of the time if i win or lose so just keep telling myself not worth it.

Day 10: £75.00

Quick entry as im watching the Man utd game having a few urges.

Getting rid of my debit card has helped a lot, i cant possibly deposit online at the moment so only way of gambling is walking into a bookies which i havent done in months, i can stay clear of them it was just online access to gambling which was too easy.

This week have spent some money on myself which i havent done in a long time, knowing that i am not wasting £200 a month anymore i feel like i can.

Day 11 : £82.50

A few weeks ago i wouldnt have been able to watch a game of football without thinking of having a bet every 10 minutes. Now i can watch a game and hardly think of gambling.

Day 12 : £90.00

Good man cm I had trouble with the football betting also,it feels so good now to be able to watch the footy and enjoy without having to sweat and stress about the result..well done on 12 days I found the 1st 3 weeks very difficult but now at nearly 7 weeks I'm fine!take it one day at time like your doing,you save so much from abstaining from gambling it's unreal.

Thanks, its not just the money saved its being able to concentrate on other things like bettering yourself and making more effort with people rather then gambling taking over you.

Day 13 : £97.50

Bit of an urge this morning , Saturday i feel will be the hardest day over the next few months, day off from work, all the football on.

Will not give in tho , bit of xmas shopping this afternoon to keep busy

Day 14 : £105.00

Wasnt as bad as i thought it would be yesterday, morning urges went and was able to look at the scores without feeling the need for a bet.

Day 15 : £112.50

Weekend gamble free 🙂

Seeing the savings go up each day and reading about why we gamble understanding how it is not worth it is helping a lot

Day 16 : £120.00

Day 17 : £127.50

Hi CM3003 - Well done - it's really good to see the days and the money clocking up. Glad your urges went and you were able to enjoy the football. Life does seem less burdened without the constant thoughts about gambling.

All the best
