Thanks guys for reaching out and supporting me I had been in a real rut and emotions had been all over the place. Hard to come back on here feeling a bit like a broken record! I beat myself up a lot when I make these stupid mistakes but I guess that shows I care.
Anyway short and sweet i'm committed to stopping again early days but day 4 today and using a diary helps me make a commitment to recovery.
Almost completed day 6 without gambling. Not going to post anything to lengthy just trying to get back on my feet and take this a day at a time at the moment. Trying to be committed to this recovery again and get my confidence and self esteem to where it should be.
Great way to go Stone,
May sound stupid but just take everything very gently, like you are walking over broken glass, because you don't want to cut your feet again.
Well done on 6 days I know that was hard for you. :))))

Good advice Suzanne! Made me smile 🙂
Just about to start work a week gamble free! Thinking I may have learnt a valuable lesson as now ive moved out i'm on my own this time probably for the first time I can remember I have to be fully responsible for my gambling because if I gamble I could destroy my life in a big way. Ive hated being skint and worrying over every penny this month and maybe slipping up will be a valuable lesson over time.
I will get there one day at a time.
Day 8 today one shift of work to do then a weekend off. First weekend off in a month. I feel stress from work contributed majorly to my recent relapse and a lack of a goal/target/focus following finishing uni.
Looking forward to just relaxing and setting some new targets to work towards as my confidence builds. I can do this I know I can.
