Hi icanbeatthis, again I must congratulate you on being so positive. Your boyfriend probably does not understand what the big deal is with gambling. Unless you are an addict it is difficult to. Maybe speak about it less to him so that it does not become the focus of your relationship and instead use support outside your relationship? You asked how often were my urges…all day every day. I even sometimes could not resist going home at lunch to blow a few hundred. Pay day meant gambling. Husband away meant gambling. night out meant gambling.Everything meant gambling. So now I do sometimes think about gambling ,but do not have strong urges. I did a christian course online which helped me. I believe it really is a gambling devil! I have seen every part of my life improve, but most notably my relationships, finances and confidence. It was hard at the start and I had a few lapses. I feel like the curse has been lifted and that I have had a miracle. Six days is great and it gets easier, although I found a few weeks in really hard. I had to have my barriers set really high before this so i could not gamble when I really wanted to. I am really enjoying reading your determined positive posts. Keep going !!!
