Hi Laura thanks for the message on my journal, i’m really happy for you that your doing well now and getting on with everyday things in your life, if it helps i too have a pretty much mundane job also but its better than no job. M.
Hi Vera thanks for your post, no gambling did not end my relationship my partner did. I see you are doing well this month, i hope you continue, your doing all the right things.
Hi idi i too struggle with day to day , three weeks is easy to the non gambler but to us its a lifetime, i am doing okay but feel there is something missing ( gambling) however i am feeling much stronger mentally and physically without the after effects of (gambling) . We are living with an addiction and compulsion which can destroy us if we don’t recognise the signs and deflect them away somewhere else , easier said than done but it can be done we all can do it with some support and self awareness of what works for us. I personally put £5 on a football coupon every week, occasionally buy a scratchcard , buy raffle tickets, play the lottery, and before all the cured gamblers start shouting “your still gambling” back off i might spend up to £20 per week but its not destroying my life anymore i’m in the driving seat and i’m driving in the direction i want to go.
HI Marke keep in the driving seat my friend and you will achieve what you want to , as Vera says just for today i will not gamble and say it to yourself everyday when you wake up. 🙂
