1 day at a time jaz. I promise if you hang in there good things will come your way. First you need to clear your mind and escape the gambling haze which will take time and be so so difficult.

A diary was crucial to my recovery and i continue with it almost daily and continue to read posts day in day out just to keep reminding myself what a horrible affliction gambling is and what a mess it makes of your head.

Next few days will be tough but hang in there.

Stay strong

Well done making this first step. Early days for me still but I dont for a second miss that sick feeling.
Each day is 1 more day away from that gut wrenching feeling that had me way to often.

the diary is a great help to me at the minute and the support is an amazing help as well.

Stay strong and focused.

Thanks for your comments guys they do mean so much, Day 2 today and can't say I have not been tempted to get online and have a flutter, I have no money so there's a barrier in place!! I have closed 2 accounts this morning with gaming sites I had opened recently, I have no sites available now as they are all closed down. This doesn't usually stop me as I have in the past kept opening new sites. This time it has to be different, I think the best way for me is to keep myself busy and away from the internet. I will download gamblock when I get paid but at the moment don't have a penny to my name. Things cannot get any worse I am feeling really anxious, my chest keeps feeling tight and I feel sick. I want to feel better and know there's only one way that will happen, so here's to day 2 of my new stress free life.......
