Hello everyone hope you are all well.
Starting again after a crazy few month, will update in the coming days and weeks my background etc. Was desperate to put a bet on tonight, lied to my wife a reason to head out, put the bet on but no excitement whatsoever watching the selections. I know I want to stop I have been successful in the past, however when the urge comes, I cannot beat it.
First day gamble free hopefully this time tomorrow
Coming to the end of day one, one last challenge is to get to my work from the train station without walking into the bookies. Having lots of gambling thoughts to be honest.
Hi Jamie, congratulations on making the decision to change, and on resisting those gambling thoughts to make it to Day 1.
If you're ever struggling, you are welcome to give us a call on the Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or by Livechat. Now that you've reached the end of day one, why not start a diary over on the Recovery Diaries section so you can track your progress day by day?
Here's to day 2.
Best wishes
