This journal is helping me to recognise some self-sabotaging behaviours.

Now that I’m starting to feel good having not gambled in a week my brain is starting to lean towards “well things are going well so maybe if you just tried £20 you might win everything back again and wouldn’t that be great?!”.

This is so frustrating but also helpful. I know what to look out for now. I don’t want to ruin my positive run of seven days clear and I obviously don’t want to lose money so I won’t gamble. Going to do some reading instead I think. Personal development to help me grow instead of going backwards!
