Well done holycrosser.great stuff.keep it up

Thank you .another day to get through tomorrow, loved watching the golf stress free willing Tiger to win for all the right reasons.

Day 34, 

got some great news that 2 credit cards I owe to have frozen the interest and accepted reduced payments for another 6 months.

if any of yous are struggling with debt I can honestly say call the companies, be honest with the debt being gambling....THEY MUST TRY AND HELP YOUITS THE LAW. If they don’t play ball offer them £1pm and drag it out.However you will find most of them will help you, all mine have, I’m now still paying all my debts but I have a clear total now and it will only come down.Freezing the credit card interes is essential, you can then see the debt come down , what a relief, with another day gambling free plus this news it’s going well for now.

understanding this is a long road is key.

Day 35 

today I will not gamble 

End of day 35 and my last online post of the day, 

i feel a bit sad today, had one or two very slight thoughts of gambling trying to creep into my head, I can’t remember what started it but reading a few posts on here I think started me thinking ever so slightly, thankfully I said “ don’t you dare” to myself and the very brief urge went.Proof that this is forever, there’s no going back if I ever gamble again.Ive no excuse, it’s my last chance , now or never.Today I didn’t gamble.

few days off now with lots of stuff to do with my OH and round the house to help me along my journey, 35 days GF , get in !!

Day 36

off work now till Tuesday, I plan to be in the garden today, tomorrow I’ve a day planned shopping with OH, Friday it’s OH birthday and Saturday it’s a birthday party for her so no rest and no time for gambling or any thoughts, it helps massively on the road to recovery.

i know I keep banging on about being busy, re inventing, changing but in truth you have to.

today I won’t gamble, today I’m happy,calm, hoping.

Day 37.

off to town shopping, no gambling yesterday or todsy

Thank you so much, I’m taking nothing for granted and absolutely one day at a time, I’ve read so much stuff about how this creeps up on you again.Its easy to deal with at the moment and that’s when I need to be on my guard.

thanks pal

Hi HC. How’s it going? Sounds like you’re doing great. Hope you have a great long weekend. I m going for my first venture of the year on to a golf course on Monday so looking forward to that. Have you played at all? I ve had a very sad week. One of my work colleagues died unexpectedly leaving us all devastated. Fairly puts life in perspective. On the gambling front, a month GF and almost through my first full pay cycle with no gambling which is my next major milestone. Best wishes my friend

Yes I’m good mate, yes love golf and a great way to take the mind away from everything, you are doing the right thing, plan, keep busy.well done

Had a wonderful day, life is good, no gambling and probably the least gambling thoughts day I have ever had. 39 days gamble free

Today almost done, 41 days gambling free, nice walk and sunbathing, no urge what so ever today.

pay day approaches, all my bills are planned and I know what money I have left, I actually have £47 out of my cash this month.That will go off debt, a debt that thankfully by stopping gambling will now be coming down.

its not rocket science eh? Stop gambling 

Hi Holycrosser

Thanks for dropping by on my diary. I need all the support I can get! Yes it’s a long road and a lot of patience is required. I can see from reading your diary that there is a lot of positivity already around the new you. I’m not there yet. My huge online madness has knocked me a lot. I hope it’s finally  knocked me to my senses!

Keep posting and reprogramming yourself! So far, so good well done
