Today is almost over still early evening but I’m going to call game and say five days no gambling.
I used my whole weeks pay to clear debt and it hurts… I need to not forget how much It sucks and use it as a deterrent from relapsing. On the bright side it’s a step towards freedom!
Into the weekend we go!

[StevieV]

appreciate the encouragement haha im doing it!

Good stuff man awesome!
Haha no one likes chores and I’m sure the percentage of us males actually lifting our own weight at home in that regard is probably as thin as the successful gamblers!
Nice to see you got a journal going to look back on and keep tabs on your progress.
No doubt I’ll catch you again in the chat room soon…
Keep it up!

[StevieV]

знам точно какво искаш да кажеш, нямам търпение да се срещна с теб в този момент, когато мога да направя тези неща отново за себе си, ще бъде невероятно усещане 🙂

Насладете се на уикенда и се насладете на наградите от упоритата работа, която сте положили и продължавате да полагате

[StevieV]

know exactly what you mean, I can’t wait to meet you at that point where I can do these things again for myself its going to be an amazing feeling 🙂 

Enjoy the weekend and enjoy the rewards from the hard work you’ve put in & continue to put in 

[StevieV]

sais exactement ce que tu veux dire, j'ai hâte de te rencontrer à ce moment-là où je pourrai refaire ces choses par moi-même ça va être un sentiment incroyable 🙂

Profitez du week-end et profitez des récompenses du travail acharné que vous avez fourni et continuez à fournir

[StevieV]

vet nøyaktig hva du mener, jeg kan ikke vente med å møte deg på det tidspunktet hvor jeg kan gjøre disse tingene igjen for meg selv, det kommer til å bli en fantastisk følelse 🙂

Nyt helgen og nyt belønningene fra det harde arbeidet du har lagt ned og fortsett å legge ned

[StevieV]

weet precies wat je bedoelt, ik kan niet wachten om je te ontmoeten op het moment dat ik deze dingen weer voor mezelf kan doen, het zal een geweldig gevoel zijn 🙂

Geniet van het weekend en geniet van de beloningen van het harde werk dat je hebt gedaan en blijft doen

[StevieV]

March on into week 2 with your head held high 🙂

Late entry as I got home and fell asleep on the couch last night… Made it through day four smoothly apart from I guess some of the expected up and down emotions.
Still haven’t really had any urge to gamble nor any thought about it other than the messes it’s caused.
Going strong and will continue to push myself to embrace this journey and the new lease on life it should provide

[StevieV]

Appreciate the input and support I did it…

Will definitely be keeping it as a possibility that I can’t watch for awhile. Actually being made sligh easier as a lot of the sport I would be betting on is being canceled or suspended due to this virus circulatin.

again thanks! 

[StevieV]

Well today was a mixed bag really feelings of frustration, anger, worry and also feelings of self pride I guess 🙂
No urge to gamble was good but still haven’t watched any games… which really kinda sucks because I love sports love watching sports and I’m just hoping it’s not a case where I should avoid watching. I don’t think that’s the case but I’ve really been trying to put thought into avoiding it all altogether so far so I’m not tempted. Not checking scores all the time is actually really nice!

It’s hard man I’m on day 3 myself after about 12 years of heavy sports betting, probably run up a similar amount of debt ( don’t really know as it’s been over such a long period) I did ok with it back home as it’s legal and I’d use my own money… came to US and eventually got hooked up with a bunch of bookies and credit lines… went on an incredible tear for about a year and now it’s been at least 7 years of overall losing… currently owe at least 60k in loans and borrowing from family while still owing about 5k to bookies.
I’ve finally made the choice to stop and start seeking help to stay away from it. I’ve had periods where I stopped before but it was mostly because I couldn’t. I asked my books for accounts to be closed yesterday ( haven’t bothered to check as I don’t need the temptation).
Money’s replaceable and recoupable with hard work and determination, for me I’m hanging it onto wanting a better life and to stop destroying relationships with my loved ones… The disappointment from letting them down over and over needing help has to stop.
I believe we can beat this and live a happier healthier life man stay strong keep posting maybe seek out further support elsewhere and we will get through this.
