SuperstarDJParticipant
Been crazy busy at work due to a crisis there – actually helps my recovery as I don’t have time to do anything except work. Today is a big day as the crisis should finish at 1ish.
SuperstarDJParticipantFamily day today. Leaving phone firmly in my pocket and no need at all to think about sports odds or gambling. Simple.
SuperstarDJParticipantA great milestone but as of today I am going through my mantra – day 50 is easy compared to day 100 day 1000 and so on. In the past I have thought “I’m ok now” and can have a small bet BUT all that leads to is huge losses and misery. Never going back to day 1.
SuperstarDJParticipantReally chuffed to be at the 7 week point. But reminding myself that this is still just the start. I did almost a year without gambling before. I am still working on taking on the persona of a non gambler, and it is a persona I much prefer to the old me.
SuperstarDJParticipantThat Is great advice. It is in instant access. I can easily move to a notice account which I am going to do now.
SuperstarDJParticipantA good day. I am spending a bit more on coffee as when I want to hide from work I go to a shop now and not a betting shop. But I think that is much better – just need to stay off the caffeine. Really looking forward to another payday next week when I literally haven’t wasted a penny on gambling.
SuperstarDJParticipantPut some money aside for savings today. Although I am still paying down debt it is good in my head to be saving a bit as well. 47 days ago any spare cash was only for gambling.
SuperstarDJParticipantVery tiring day. Found myself wanting to hide in a betting shop. Even stood outside one. Managed to resist going in and had a coffee instead. Been a long time since I have been in one now.
SuperstarDJParticipantIt really helps to know others have similar issues. Hope things are going well for you
SuperstarDJParticipantHad some quite strong urges today. Really felt like having a bet. But I remembered that it soon passes, which it did, and I distracted myself by doing such exciting tasks as putting the bin out or cleaning the floor.
SuperstarDJParticipantBrilliant day with my family. Busy all day long and no time or opportunity to think about gambling. Did some cooking which I love. Far more productive than what I would have been doing 44 days ago.
SuperstarDJParticipantFelt better today. Shows that the low points pass. The low points are, I think, my gambling conditioned brain telling me that a bet would make me feel better. However I now have a 43-day old non gambling brain, which is speaking louder!
SuperstarDJParticipantI can’t believe it has now been six weeks. Pretty rough time with work, feeling down and also the migraine yesterday but I have remained strong. It would be easy to have a bet. But I haven’t. And I should draw strength from that.
SuperstarDJParticipantHad a horrible migraine yesterday. Knocked me out. Still couldn’t think straight at all let alone think about gambling so that’s one good thing I guess!!!
SuperstarDJParticipantMassive ups and downs today. Feel quite down and can’t really explain why.
