Day 7 today without any real urges, been a busy week. I actually find it easier the early stages as the pain from the last bet is fresh, its further down the line complacency appears. 

In 2 minds about going back to GA, I have mostly positive experience with GA but there was a few things I didnt like, something to think about.

Thanks guys for the positive comments.

 

Another day done without any issues, took the kids out for the day, 2 of my sons are autistic and can be challenging, managed to have a nice day though. 

Have a good weekend everyone

Tough day today, woke up in horrendous mood and nothing seemed to improve it, got to a point my wife asked if I had been gambling (I hadn't). Shows what kind of person I was when gambling.

 

Thankfully managed to pull myself together and apologise.

 

Hope everyone has had a good weekend

Tough couple of days, horrendous mood and just nothing going right, I think it being the weekend and not gambling was a major part of the reason, thankfully no gambling and feeling a lot better today. Will make amends to the family today somehow.

 

Thanks for the comment Dave, as always you talk a lot of sense and very much appreciated.

Day 12 done and things are slowly picking up, 

Still in 2 minds about going back to GA, last time I was there I took a bit of resentment towards a few members.

Onto day 14 and struggling a little, yesterday I was very tempted to place a bet on, was thinking that a wee bet wouldn't hurt. Managed to fight through the urge and went out and watched the football. Thinking going back to GA on Wednesday.

 

Hope everyone is well

Not been in this for a while, although I have been reading peoples diaries just not been posting. Coming up for a month without a bet but very close to it today, was determined I could place an odd bet here and there. Thankfully I was miles away from bookies and when I was near one I had seen sense.
