Hi T- positive how are you coping? Just take it day by day I know you feel a failure but it takes strength to admit relapses, you could of hidden it but you didn't. One day soon it will click for you keep trying
Hi @charlieboy thanks for checking in - that’s very kind of you.
I’m coping well right now thank you, I’m on day 8 which is small but got to start again somewhere! Hoping to just learn on the last few weeks and have been reflecting a lot.
i started this diary because I knew it would be difficult to admit to others when I had relapsed, and it sure is. I’m glad I admitted to it though rather than just disappearing which I considered - just got to keep at it.
onwards and upwards!

Thank you, Zoe.
Day 11 GF now and feeling much better than I was 1-2 weeks ago. Feeling better as the days go on 🙂
Work now getting less intense, so looking forward to having more time to focus on myself, my recovery and reading lots of success stories!
Day 15 and still feeling more and more positive by the day! Just over 2 weeks in the bag now.
Enjoying more 'me' time - although still need to get into reading more success stories on here as from the little bits I have read, they help massively.
That’s great to hear
Well done x
Just a quick check-in to say day 21 and feeling good!!
It's been a while since I last said anything here, but all is going well and I'm on day 34. Pleased that I'm back up over a month again.
Not really had any thoughts of gambling these past couple of weeks as kept very busy with work and family/friends life which is good.
Also seeing big improvements in my financial situation which is fantastic. Debts going down, closing accounts, seeing money stay in my bank account and savings... all in all, going good! 🙂
Hi t - positive so good to here how well you are doing I'm glad as you really struggled . It's amazing how quick you have money when you stop gambling and it's a very good effect of not gambling, one that you can enjoy and use as a tool to keep you on track. Life is better gamble free keep going don't let your guard down
