Thankyou so much SJ and Muststop.
100 days!!!! Yesssssssss! I can't believe iv got here! Thankyou so so much for your continued support! Hope your both well!
I'm looking after myself alot better and I'm in such a different place mentally since I joined this forum. When I look back I can't even believe that was me! I'm pushing away all those devil gambling thoughts and concentrating on moving forward in my life positively. Next stop 200 days.!

101 days.
Still been thinking about gambling, but just keep pushing those thoughts away. Haven't been sleeping very well recently which hasn't helped as I seem to think about it more when im feeling down. All I keep thinking about to stop me gambling is the mental isolation gambling brings. How it takes you away for a short period of time them drops you back into reality feeling even worse. And I refuse to feel like that, I refuse to allow myself down a self destructive path. The lack of concentration and motivation for anything else. My mind is so clear when im not gambling and I'm so proud of myself for not giving in. Onwards and upwards.

Belated congrats 100 days! You know what's needed - keep on the right path and enjoy the rewards of staying gamble free. You say you are feeling proud of yourself - and so you should!! All good wishes x
Pleased to see your good progress BW. Gamble free days soon mount up and we get stronger and wiser. Take care though because we never know when the addiction is lurking around.
Wishing you happy days in your recovery...stephen

112 days!
Looking forward to 200.
Still a struggle but it's getting easier. Whenener I feel the urge to gamble I look for something more positive to do. Tasks I would have normally just let build up and cause me huge amounts of stress iv kept on top of and I'm feeling so much more mentally clear. I still get anxiety, normally worse in the morning but after a few minutes I remember how open and honest iv been and how I have now nothing to hide. No more lies and secrets. And it makes a huge difference. I fill my time in with more positive things. I refuse to waste another minute on gambling, time I sadly will never get back is gone. But I can make sure that never happens again. Good luck everyone and stay strong .

Hiya BW ☺
Well done on you g free days hun! Just look how far you have come! The further you move from self destruction, the clearer the road ahead becomes...believe in yourself!
Me is no morning person so maybe relate to you on feeling blahhh first thing in a morning. Usually a cup of Joe (or two) wakes me up following with lil girl taking me for a walk 😀
Keep working at it girl, you're doing brilliantly! Rewards will keep coming and for sure, you will see them from every direction!
Stay safe & speak to you at some point ☺

It's getting a lot easier as gambling is now far from my routine. Slowly putting my life back together and every day I don't gamble I feel so much stronger. I still get those thoughts but I just tell myself to think of something else I could spend my time on. It's not about the money.id hate to slip back into that deep destructive state.
Things are looking up !
