Here we go again boom boom. Ground hog day again. Not sure how I’ve managed to spend approx £1000 in a few weeks but then when I look at bank statement and there’s deposit after deposit of £100 then I realise. I realised this time that I become taken away from reality as I am so focused on chasing losses - you’d think I’d realise by now that you never recoup. And if you do in my class I just up my wager and blow it anyway. Trying to stop gambling at the same time as trying g to eat more healthily is not working out well for me as I don’t feel on top of either. But I will take it a day at a time. Focus on my family. Enjoy spending money on them rather chucking it away online. Life as it is must change. Xx
