Today was the first time I had money for a while, I didn’t even have an urge.
The first thing I did was brought my daughter a present, I can’t tell you how good I feel, live chat and my counsellor have been amazing, I tend to Check-In 1-2 times a day, it’s so reassuring knowing I can just Tell someone my inner feelings.

I’m even more determined  now to beat this Demon, I know it’s early days but I’m looking forward not back for the first time in years. What money I do have I’m going to try go for a walk and draw it out (It only takes one bad thing to set me back) 
I’m beginning to realise My addiction is a form of self loathing, perhaps self harm maybe.

Well done. I enjoyed the positivity of your post. A ray of light. I'm 23 days without gambling. For me It's been tough, no doubt. Just need to keep looking forward as you state. Good luck on this journey and be kind to yourself.

Here's to a better life for you, your daughter and your family.
