Okay, I am now approaching the end of day 15 of my recovery and to be honest, these first two weeks have flown by. I have generally been quite busy and kept myself occupied to help take my mind off gambling. I have found weekends to be the most difficult so far, as I have more time to myself away from work and I used to gamble most often on weekends so I guess the urges are slightly stronger. I have applied blocking software to my mobile phone, which for me is the most important barrier I could set to aid my recovery as about 95% of my sports betting would be via mobile.
I am pleased with how my recovery is progressing so far although it is still very early stages and there will undoubtedly be tougher times ahead. I remain optimistic that I can quit for good and I’m even more determined than I was when I started this a couple of weeks ago 😀
