    Well, I went again. 370 down. Been keeping a calendar of my achievements this month. Smiley face means no gambling, frowny face is a relapse. 2 frowny faces in July. I’m doing better but still ashamed. Will get a good paycheck soon. Will post on here every day once I get it to make sure I’m in control. I don’t need luck I just need self control. Here I go.

    Hey friend! You sound like enough is enough. I feel the same. Thanks for writing me, it helps to hear from someone who understands. One thing I’ve realised as I’m trying to rid myself of this addiction is that the thrill is what I’m chasing. When I get money I use it to buy another thrill. I’m setting it straight in my head right now, money is to purchase products and services, I can get my thrills for free! I’m going out tonight to create some FREE thrills, to reward myself for being me. I think you should do the same. Don’t forget to write and tell me what you did to get your free thrill. Stay safe and keep your chin up. I understand you x

    Hey jimmy, I feel you. Geez I am you. I started at 14 I’m 33 now. I just started on here a week ago. I gamble every day. Well, every day I have money in the bank. I have had one slip up this week but thankfully I still have a whole wage in my account. It’s a weird feeling to not have spent it. I like the feeling. I hope you can keep posting on here, I know it’s helping me. It sounds cliche but as they say, one day at a time. Good luck and make sure you write back and let me know how you’re going. I truly hope we both can beat this monster. Good luck friend xx

    I did it again. I had 400 and I won. I was up to 1000 and I played it down. I walked out with 350. I feel ****. I walked out though, not that it’s any consolation cause I feel like I went backward a week. I was going good and feeling strong. Will keep coming here and writing as I feel accountable I will start again from now.

    Day three. Thought about the latest loss and how it’s set me back but that’s about it. Reminded myself that this will be a distant memory once I’m back on top, just got to keep strong. Went to the gym today, been putting it on the back burner so I could gamble at night. Felt really good
