so this would have been day 6 if I hadn't slipped yesterday. Thought I had self excluded all of my accounts then I got an email from one which I must have missed.... and you can all guess what happened from there. I don't even know why I did it, I already knew that I couldn't win because I don't know when to stop. Since doing that yesterday I've felt so low and disappointed in myself. Thankfully my counselling started today and it really did seem helpful. I was told not to beat myself up over it and listening to her reasoning really lifted me. This is my new day 1 today! I'm determined to have gone 7 days gamble free when I speak to my counsellor next week. I CAN and WILL do this x
hi
pretty much the same as me
i got a call from one casino today logged on and it cost me
i start ay one tm as well
its been a c**P month but i want to stop and need to stop
like you say we all know before we even start we cant win as we cant stop but our brains tell us maybee
ive been a gambler for more that 37 years and its never changed you always lose in the end
good luck to you
Thank you deano 🙂 that gives me a lot of encouragement xx hope your well x
Thanks mjb. It's so difficult isn't it, one moment of weakness and we feel like we're back at square 1. As the counsellor told me, were far from back at square 1 as we didn't do the usual trick and go straight back to chase our loss. She told me 5 days of no gambling after gambling nearly every day for 5 years is a big deal and not to beat myself up. Put some positivity back in my mind and hopefully do the same for u. Good luck I wish u all the best u can do it xx
Day 2... So far so good! Keeping busy and thinking onwards and upwards 🙂 busy day again tomorrow so hopefully it won't be too much of a struggle xx
Hi...keep taking it a day at a time and the days will soon build up. As other have told you dont beat yourself up....whats done is done and we cant do much to change it.....just learn from it and move on. Good luck.
Thank you damo means a lot xx
Day 4, still going strong. Kept myself very busy the past 2 days and I've planned a busy weekend to keep temptation away. Feeling more determined as the days go on 🙂 x
Not logged on for a while but I'm on day 12.... Finally into double figures wooo! Still doing my counselling every tues and it's really helping! Hope everyone has a great Easter xxx
