Its been over two weeks now since I have gambled and it feels so good ,dont get me wrong Im a long way off cured ,but it is a good start . I have had a lot of support from my family my husband has been so good , this last week has been a big test as he has been away working and that is when I have been gambaling in the past when Im here on my own , so im proud of myself for this little step , all I need now is to keep it up and remain strong . As they say one day at a time .
Hey there,
Huge well done for abstaining for over two weeks and finding the strength to fight the devil at tempting time over last week.
Really pleased you found this site, you will get a lot of support and advice here. Keep writing in your diary and read the others.

You are never on your own, you can do it, the only way is upwards so all the best in your journey and I look forward to willing you on the way.

Day at a time

Thank you so much for your kind words , this site has helped me a lot knowing im not alone . I have also started a written diary that I write in every day that helps too. I will get stronger and kick this deamon into touch .
Well today is another day and another day without gambling . I feel as if I have been broken and Im being put back together again and in time I hope that this deamon will be a thing of the past , been going for long walks in the spring sunshine ,set myself little tasks each day to keep me ocupied so far its done the job , I hope that this can help others that read my diary.
Well its been three weeks now since i gambled and it feels good . I have had ups and downs this week the worst of it was when the dog got sick and we had to borrow money from my son to pay and it sure brought home what gamling had done to our finances , I pray to God this never ever happens again it reduced us to tears. The other down was my husband catching me hideing a crdit card statement that he didnt know I had that was not good and it caused a huge arguement , I felt so bad this addiction now makes me do these things . But on a lighter note things have got better , I hope there are some of you also kicking this demon to touch .
Hi turbine - Glad to read that you have got through your bad patch and are feeling better.
At least your husband finding out about the secret credit card has brought things into the open and is one less thing you have to feel bad about hiding. Hope your dog is better too.
All the best - keep going - we can defeat this demon!
