Well day 1 was a nice walk with my fam must keep going
Best of luck Christer1 and remember, it's not just the money that's the issue, so much time wasted!
Thankyou Yes as they say money isn't everything but my family are my wife doesn't know I do it I got caught out few years ago then went clean and she didn't really understand so I'm scared to even mention it so so I am going to fight it ( or try) I love my sport that's the prob but I'm going to give my absolute best
Christer, read as many of these recovery diaries as you can (especially the longer ones). To have ANY chance of recovery you have to accept that this wasn't a blip and that you'll just continue to repeat the cycle until you make serious changes.
Wishing you strength.
Day 3 still going I know it's not long three days but I'm happy as in the week that's the weekest times, weekends I'm more busier so takes my mind of Sydney rabbitos going -16 on stupid handicaps

Back again im back on a losing streak i really need to stop
You will never win! I lost 550 last night 9lk debt. I'm done with it!
Ffs everyday my wages go so from today im going to try. A diary
Day 0 i try my hardest not to bet but did then won off that then blew all my winnings and stake so not happy with myself i will start my diary as this helped me last time. last bet put on at 830pm 22/9
Christer, a diary is unlikely to be enough for you given these false starts! We cannot win because we cannot stop so get yourself some proper blocks in place to break your gambling (Time-Money-Location, remove one & you cannot gamble) triangle & get some help either from GA, your GP or the counselling services provided free through GamCare.
I tried to stop losing for years & years, finding out I had to stop gambling was a horrible shock but I am no longer on my knees. I know you say you don't want to tell your wife but you have proved since then that you can't do this alone & it will be better coming from you than her finding out again.
Make the changes before it's too late & start living again - ODAAT
Thankyou for advice i guess i will go the root of putting in my own blockd wish me luck
Morning Christa, why don't you try and write in here everyday (if you can) I find it helps me keep a focus and more detenrmined to see those days rack up. You will never won because we can't stop. When you want to gamble, perhaps try reading diaries of people on here or wrote in here. There is so much fabulous advice, support and encouragement on here. It may help you to get involved in other people diaries too. It may not be for you, but it's just a suggestion to try and help you. Take Care. Live the life you love, not the gambling life you hate.
