You said it “onwards and upwards” have a great weekend 🙂 M.

So much looking forward to this weekend spent with my partner , what a difference a few days can make when you make positive changes to your life.

(It works) self excluding from my local bookmakers and cancelling my online account with william hill is working , also cutting back on alcohol consumption and giving my debit card to my partner on payday . Small steps but ( big changes) .

[micky]

I have decided to give my debit card to my partner after ive paid a few things on payday, i feel this is the way forward for me at this moment in time.

Thank you Vera and I-did-it, i needed some positive posts . The debts i can manage now i have worked a budget out , it can be done. So far i’m having a good day today, i’ll keep posting when i can.

Another failure on tuesday , i have self excluded from all my local bookmakers and thats quite a few, also closed down an online account i had opened, feeling very pleased with myself having completed these things and yet also ashamed and not quite sure why i have lied especially on here i hope my friends on here will forgive me. i am £2930 in debt and have been working out how i can pay it back . Any advice will be welcome. thank you.

Really like your honest post i too feel the same way your not delusional , your realistic. We have to take new steps and sometimes re-take some others (positive ones of course) i’m in the middle of working out what i can do to replace my gambling time with so lots for me to work on there. M.

[micky]

Just for today i will not gamble. It’s such a nice day anyway why spoil it by gambling , being positive again today . 🙂

Never seen a workforce where i work as demoralised ever in 32 years of working there. It’s a shame the government and greedy bosses are not on the shop floor where the real work happens , it’s awful when all you look forward to is going home and payday.

Day 12 is here , i would just like to say that Gambling therapy is a crutch that we as compulsive gamblers can all use whether it’s the forums, live advice, or drop in sessions. For me the Journal works because i can post as much or as little as i like on any given day. For anyone struggling today i have said a pray for you .

[micky]

For today i will not gamble either , i’m with you i-did-it. M.

Day 10 and yesterday was payday, i have decided to transfer money on payday into a savings account , something which i can go on line and see anytime . Just for today i did not gamble i thought it through and i don’t want to for many many reasons, including my partner, my son, my savings, my sanity amongst a whole list of other reasons.

[micky]

Thanks Charles your right my recovery knowledge is certainly helping me right now on my journey without gambling . I have learned so many things in the past and am using them to continue on in my quest to be gamble free .

[micky]

Day 8 today and i’m feeling focused and calm nothings too much trouble when i’m not gambling .

[micky]

Day 7 and i had a thought yesterday , simply no more gambling, no more worrying about how much my bills will be.
