Another good day so far and I intend it to continue to be that way. Going to see friends this afternoon and the thing that I am most proud of is that I moved all my money after pay day on Friday to our joint account and paid off a credit card which means I barely have access to any funds independently – keep putting up the barriers, I tell myself.

I know that the first few days can be easy so I must steel my resolve for the harder days to come.

It’s really amazing to read messages of support. Today is day 3 of choosing not to gamble any more. Yesterday was extremely busy at work which always helps as I don’t have time to think about gambling.

At the weekend I plan to fill my time with my family and my daughter in particular. I need to arrange self exclusion from the one active account I have which will be a priority today.

What has prompted me to change? Another big losing day and a programme on addiction which made me believe it is possible to make a permanent change.

Looking forward to a positive day and another small step on my recovery journey
