DAY 117
thanks Determined Dan.
It is 'brass monkey's' out there today, at my desk freezing my **** off as the heating in here is taking an eternity to work!
Had a lovely weekend spent with family. Good food, company and nice and relaxing. Feeling fine today, no thoughts of anything or anyone just riding through the day and waiting for payday Wednesday.
Have a great day everyone!
Well done Wilsy! onwards and upwards!
Well done Wilsy. You are doing brilliantly.
Well done Wilsey! Onwards and upwards for us all! X
DAY 118
thanks Jayden, Annie and Lulu.
We've loads of snow today but it hasn't inconvenienced me as I only live 0.9 miles away so I walked in which I actually enjoyed apart from my brain freezing!
All is good with me, feeling much better, quite relaxed and payday tomorrow, must try and get some food reserves in but currently I am snowed in and skint, will use tennis rackets as ski's tomorrow and walk into town if need to haha!
Have a good day everyone.
Hi Wilsy,
Thanks for the post on my diary, it is much appreciated! Well done on getting to 118 days without gambling, that is an amazing effort and can't have been easy. Keep up the good work, whatever you are doing, it is working so keep it up! The gamble free life is so much better isn't it, no stress, no lies, no wasting time....
Keep going pal
James
thanks James. I just have no urges or desire to gamble regardless of how I have been treated of late and the c**P I have had to endure emotionally, I will not and don't want to slip up just because my personal life is in a mess and I don't want to give people the satisfaction of me failing.
Yes there is no stress and I'm thinking clearer now without it.
Cheers James.
Great stuff Wilsy! You must feel really proud of yourself.
DAY 119
thanks Annie. No I don't feel proud of myself to be honest, I feel pleased and more relaxed and am relieved to not have the urges or need to gamble anymore but I don't give myself enough credit, I'm just happy that I am not letting my family down anymore and to see them and my friends proud of me, that's all I need. I feel sad I've been gripped by this addiction for over 20 years on and off but I realise by abstaining, there is still time to change my life and live as close to normally as I can, that is all I want is to live a normal life.
Apart from feeling bloody cold this morning I am relieved it is pay day, I have already paid out what I need to pay which makes me feel great and tonight I am going to get myself some nice food reserves in, I might even treat myself to a chinese!
Life is improving, just need to be patient, love and care for people who love and give the same kindness back and avoid people that don't and only think of themselves.
For 119 days I have chosen to abstain from all gambling activities and I still hold the same determination to carry on in the same fashion.
I wish you all a lovely and safe day everyone, we are all family on this forum as we all understand each other.
Wilsy
Well done on 118 days Wilsy.
You seem in a good place at the moment. Hope it will long continue.
DAY 120
apart from being frozen to the bone, I am feeling fine this morning. Managed to sort out my overdraft situation and all will be cleared over the coming days meaning I won't have to pay around £36 interest a month anymore. I am so grateful to my wonderful mum and stepdad who have supported me so much over the years, it means I can pay them back £100 a month for the next twelve months and not pay the bank over £408 interest which is what it would be if I remainded maxed out into my overdraft for 12 months! I have been paid, made all my payments etc and feeling really determined and confident on this front that I am starting to slowly turn things round, this keeps my determination to never relapse or give into gambling again.
Had a lovely meal out last night which was nice, work is going well although the heating in here isn't working and I can barely type. Have a few plans for the weekend as long as travel doesn't disrupt those.
No urges or problems, all is content and peaceful with me at least, just going to keep pushing on with things.
Have a safe day everyone.
