I’ve halved my overdraft too, which I’m really pleased about. These urges are just so strong…

[andy84]

I have absolutely raging cravings that are unbearable at the moment, but I won’t bet. Going the game tonight after a long day at work. So tired, but the will power continues…

[andy84]

Pay day! Paid for my Paris hostel and PSG tickets! Now to retain the money. I have real urges to gamble that I am going to resist for my future!

Another day over. Minor cravings today. Midweek football really plays on my brain. Work is still mad busy, but week off starts from Friday. Gonna get out running and do some work duties to bide my time. I have a note in the wallet FG and this blog is my daily counselling to keep myself in check.

Thanks for your support!

Thanks for the advice FG. I have plans. I am immediately going to significantly reduce my overdraft and have things to pay off that I am looking forward to.

The impact of betting is forever on my mind. Never want to feel like that again…

Another day over (nearly!) This can be done and I can overcome this problem. Pay day is merely two days, 18 hours away. This is going to be the biggest challenge of my life. Holding the funds will be the key to my future. I could not deal with more heartache and another month of wishing for payday to arrive! After seventeen days too, going back to day ONE, would be horrendous!

Another day done with. No betting cravings so far today. I did have yesterday in my tired and lethargic state, but I’m now past the big TWO WEEK period and hope that these intense cravings will slowly begin to subside.

Thanks as always for your support!

Sorry Vera, I didn’t mean to sound egotistical and self centred. It’s an emotional time for me at the moment. I’m being strong. Change is difficult. The guilt is overriding and overpowering at times. Coping mechanisms are tough.

I’m feeling tired and hungover at the moment. When I am at my most vulnerable, but I’m trying my best to keep strong.

Thank you for the support.

Just sat in the pub having a few beers for the first time in five weeks. No money. Really emotional and the guilt has hit home. Need to change my life and style for the better. Thanks for the support.

The 2 week milestone hit. Today will be really tough because Premier League football is back after the International break last weekend. I need to stay out of the bookies today and focus my thoughts on a Reds victory!

[andy84]

Thanks very much Jessica and well done on your twelve days! Writing this blog has helped me so much, knowing that I’m ‘not the only one’. We’ll get there, keep up the good work!

[andy84]

Had good news in work today. Much needed! I’m more determined than ever. Pass this two week mark tomorrow and keep fighting!

CONGRATULATIONS FG! We will do this!

[andy84]

Another day over. No bet. I’m still not right. I’m emotionally and physically exhausted, but another day done with. Roll on the two week mark on Saturday!

[andy84]

Wow. Thank you so much. To think that I’m inspiring others to take the same journey will really help my own recovery and boost my motivation. Good luck, it is really difficult, but we’ll get there! Take care and keep me updated!
