It's day 15 I'm delighted... Reading everyone's posts on here is a massive help. I never want to feel day 0 again, it keeps it real for me. What I do want is to stay G. Free and truly win.
Today I bought myself something new which was fairly expensive without stress or guilt because I could. It feels like a weight is lifting.
For those at day 0 well done for coming here and stay strong every day at a time xxx
Hello May1019
Thank you for coming back and updating us on your progress! You're doing really well. As a reminder, here's the first post you made 2 weeks ago.
https://www.gamcare.org.uk/forum/recovery-diaries/day-1-6/#post-1955842
In the diaries section, it would be good if you could stick to updating one diary topic, instead of starting a new one each time you want to post an update. We can merge this post to your first one if you like. That way you've got one topic to see your progress all in one place, and others can also find your diary more easily if they want to comment on it.
So glad you're doing well and have been able to feel the benefits of not gambling already. Are you doing anything in particular to help you stay gamble free?
If you'd like any advice or support you're welcome to call the HelpLine on 0808 8020 133 or by Livechat. We're here 24/7.
Best wishes

164 days it really is the best feeling to know I'm in control of how much money I have every month. Just stop block everything and stop. The longer you stop the easier it gets. I have wierd days but they are very few and far between. Stay safe all and don't be too hard on yourself!
