It was my birthday yesterday, I have spent the last 6 years, basically my whole adult life being plagued by this gambling! I have tried to give up numerous times and I keep failing! Last time I did really well I was a member of this forum under another name but I can't remember my username so I am back!
I stopped gambling about 2 hours ago!!! But I think I am going to keep coming back here!!
Here I am, just checking in! This is the first day of the rest of my life!!
Here I am again! Still going!
Hi make,
Well done on 2 days, keep going and keep posting.

Thank you! Even if i just post a little comment each day I defo am going to try and come back each day and post! onwards and up!
Hi again,
I believe posting everyday gives us a purpose to keep abstaining and it keeps us focused.
Even if it is just a couple of words.

Yes definietly.
I am late posting today, but actually in a good way. I have been out of the house for 12 hours working and i started a course to help with stress and mood management. so all good.
a Little progress every day
Hi,
Keep up the good work! I find that telling myself I need to 'check in' on the fourm each day is a little bit more motivation to stay strong so you can come on each day and proudly say you've gone another day without gambling.
Keep it up.

Just following on from my above post, hadn't read Suzannes post. Basically just echoing what she has wrote there 🙂
Still going strong!

Thank you!!
I am happy that I just have to get thru the weekend and it'll be 1 week 🙂
You will if you want to just take one day at a time don't think too far ahead it will get easier well done again the first 2 weeks are hard.
