Well this is the fifth day now. Bet free. It’s Saturday and a big sports day. These are arguably the toughest days for gamblers, football, racing etc. Although I know what race meetings are on I’ve not felt an urge to place a bet. I think I can now see why I have struggled so much in the past. It’s a lonely time at the moment. But I am coping. Thanks everyone

Thank you I hope so

Hi

I just feel that if I’m single I can’t let my wife down anymore I continue to let myself down and don’t want to put her through the devastation that is gambling addiction/compulsion.

Having said that I still love her and if I didn’t have this gambling problem I would not be coming to this same conclusion.

I really do think that if I am not successful now in stopping then my life will be ruined further and I will not be able to live a normal life. I cannot tell my wife about my relapse. I have to get through the next 4 months and prove to myself I can do this.

Day one of my last chance
