Today I shall not gamble.

I cant believe i have the urge to gamble already.....quite disgusted with myself.....

Jackson, I blew 8k over the last two months . So your not alone.....This is your first step....coming on here instead on the casinos. Be brave my friend and stay strong. Everytime i have the urge i am going to post in my diary. Maybe you can do the same. I hope the wedding goes great.....see this as a new beginning x

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Please to say I did not gamble today, even though i had a few urges.This is through the combination of no money and busy packing. Anyway though well done.

hi jackson chin up mate it cant be easy so no words really help just now, but i beleieve and here might help verifing that , that i think being to nice makes us agambler for better things.we dont need wee are givers so just receive for a change. be happpy

So far a few urges again but too busy to gamble. Flying off in a few hour time. I found I get a lot of of urges while driving...... I resisted . I spoke to my wife today she could tell i am not happy but i made up some lim excuse that i could not hear her. yes chin up i will. Today will be a good day. Have a gamble free day.

the urges are hard......we all have them ......just take one day at a time .....3 days for me not gambling .....we have all got to ***** our lives back ....we must take control again ......please keep us updated on your wedding 🙂

sorry for the lack of update through the combination of no internet and being busy. Did not gamble during my 14 days holiday. My wife is beinning to ask question about the money...... My wedding went well but it was mixed with the bad news that my dad has a hugh renal cancer. This made me more determine to quit though. I have had a few urges especially when i return to the uk now.... i even had a dream about roulette.....anyway i must stay strong....

Hi Jackson, welcome back. Sorry to hear about your dad.

I myself was a roulette addict, and it was really destructive to both my finances and self confidence. I hope we both can beat this disease, if not, our lives will be a constant misery.

jason ..thx for your kind words

Second day back to the uk,please to say i did not gamble today. again i think it was due to lack of money, the real test will be in 2 week time when i get pay..... Today I shall not gamble.

A few urges but i start to take control, another gamble free day...today i shall not gamble

there was only an isolated urge today, i am concerntrating on my work.

My father has just seen his doctor which said his tumour may be resectable and would need to be look at with a lapraotomy. At least there is hope........ this has made me stronger to be gamble free...... I shall not gamble today.

HI Jackson,
