This week seems to have gone really fast. I have had no urges to gamble and actually enjoyed watching the Fury v Wilder boxing rematch merely from an entertainment perspective rather than a gambling perspective. This is the sort of event that I would normally bet on and even though the build up was littered with gambling adverts it didn’t bother me, I was just happy to enjoy watching the fight without feeling the need to risk money on the outcome.

It is one month ago today since I last gambled and I’m feeling more positive with each week that passes. However I can’t allow myself to get complacent as I lasted 9 months last time before relapsing. I have put more barriers in place this time around and I’m constantly trying to find new activities and create new positive habits to fill the gambling void. I will continue to focus on my recovery and I’m more determined than ever to stay gamble free. I have a lot of things to look forward to this year and can’t wait to create happy memories without allowing gambling to get in the way.

Hello all. I was intending to post my Week 3 entry on Sunday but have been in bed with flu for the last few days so have only just got round to doing it now. It has now been 24 days since I last gambled and I’m feeling good. I was disappointed because Monday this week was supposed to be my first GA meeting and because I’ve been so ill I couldn’t make it, but on a positive note at least when I go to next week’s meeting I’ll have 1 month under my belt gamble free which will be a nice way to start off. I have joined another couple of group sessions on here since my last post which have been good and I’m starting to get familiar with some of the regular attendees now. I’m still finding things to fill some of my spare time left void from gambling and haven’t experienced many thoughts or urges since my last post. I will aim to get back in the routine of doing my weekly post on a Sunday again.

I have set up a Twitter account based on recovery from gambling addiction. The name of the account is @AddictARB90 and I would appreciate it if you could follow me to help me get started. The purpose of the account is to raise awareness of gambling addiction, break the stigma, and encourage people to speak up and reach out for support if they are also struggling with gambling addiction. It is by far the fastest growing addiction and also has the highest suicide rates with so many people suffering in silence. I want to try and help to break the silence and encourage people to seek out support.

I am happy with my progress again this week and have achieved 2 weeks gamble free. I am already starting to notice an improvement in my overall mood. My life is becoming more manageable again as I’m not constantly stressed and consumed by gambling. I have been involved in the open groups again this week and have enjoyed sharing thoughts and experiences on recovery with everyone. I am still listening to some podcasts on gambling recovery which is helping me to maintain focus and a positive mentality towards staying gamble free. I have 4 days off work over this weekend which in the past would have typically resulted in a gambling session. I’m making sure I stay busy and keep myself occupied to distract myself from gambling.

Hi Now-or-Never. Congratulations on reaching out for support. Don’t be too down on yourself for having a setback in recovery it can happen to anyone. It is important to explore your options with regards to restricting your access to gambling to help you remain gamble free and avoid these temptations. It should provide you with more time to reflect on your impulsive thoughts and urges and resist temptations to gamble. It is a difficult process for sure but gambling addiction is a treatable disorder and with the right support you can beat it. I wish you all the best with your recovery.

Hi Hambone. It is great to see that you are over 30 weeks gamble free now. Congratulations, you are setting a great example for any newcomers on here and are living proof that recovery is achievable regardless of the circumstances of your past. I wish you all the best for the future.

Привет, Хэмбон. Приятно видеть, что теперь у вас есть возможность играть бесплатно более 30 недель. Поздравляю, вы подаете отличный пример для всех новичков и живое доказательство того, что выздоровление возможно независимо от обстоятельств вашего прошлого. Я желаю вам всего наилучшего в будущем.

Hi Kiwi. Congratulations on reaching 2 months gamble free. You are making good progress and I wish you all the best in your recovery. Keep up the good work.

Прежде всего, мы готовы вернуться. Многие из нас, как и я, переживают рецидив в какой-то момент во время выздоровления, но важно сосредоточиться на том, чтобы реагировать на это положительно и убедиться, что вы учитесь на своих ошибках. Если ваши проблемы с азартными играми связаны с сетью, как и моя, действительно стоит изучить программное обеспечение для блокировки, которое может помочь в ограничении доступа к этим сайтам азартных игр. Если вы находитесь в Великобритании, Gamstop является хорошей отправной точкой, поскольку он обеспечивает полный запрет на все сайты, регулирующие азартные игры в Великобритании. Если вы находитесь в другом месте, могут существовать аналогичные альтернативы. Я считаю, что сейчас есть несколько банков, которые могут блокировать транзакции с сайтами азартных игр по вашему запросу, что является еще одним хорошим вариантом. Просто продолжайте работать над устранением этих препятствий и сосредотачивайтесь на своем выздоровлении. Я с нетерпением жду вашего выздоровления и желаю вам всего наилучшего.
