Hi all, I haven't done a daily diary or weekly or such as I tend to forget to do things like that but its coming up to 4 months, I stopped gambling after coming to terms with the fact I had a gambling addiction. At first i thought i was in control and then i realised that i wasn't and needed help. Since then i have picked up new more healthy hobbies like working out and other things and its helped me massively I still think about gambling from time to time as everyone probably does however now instead of needed to gamble i feel like I don't anymore its like a thought that passes my mind instead of an itch that doesn't go away, Its liberating to be able to now choose not to instead of giving in to my past addiction. I hope everyone reading this is doing well in their own journey no matter if its just beginning or still going. Have a good Christmas and stay safe.Â

Well done, Luke. Steady progress. No doubt about it.
I admire your honesty when you say you still think about gambling, but crucially, you do NOT act on it, which shows the mental strength you've accumulated over the past 4 months. You accepted you had a problem and you did something about it. Inner steel.
Keep going, Brother.
