Hey… Hang in there. Urges are very strong sometimes and can be frighteningly powerful. One thing to remember is urges will pass… Delay them for an hour. Just for the next half hour do something else, I find the more I think on the urge the worse it gets. Tell everyone about your urges, write, eat, clean, watch a movie, ring a friend, read, surf the web, anything but gamble, buy a treat out for yourself. A meal, a coffee, a gift. The urges always pass, it’s like riding waves.. They will fade but it’s while they are intense it can knock you a bit. Urges are only urges, they cannot harm you unless you act on them. Hang in there Micky, you can do this, keep posting, keep trying… Never ever give up on giving up…
