Day 7 Gamble Free ..

 

GTFI

 

Ok so I'm not naive enough to think this is any more than it actually is , what  it does mean is I'm taking this seriously.

To reiterate I have not quitted on the back of losing all of I have, the ability to gamble has still be very much there.

Here is a list of things I've done so far 

Signed up on here and been posting daily.

Self excluded from all gambling sites.

Set up a monzo account that does not allow gambling transactions.

Binged watched a series of YouTube videos from a guy called onlyphil 

Made myself a road map to to help track and predict when my urges may occur and devised strategies to help deal with these.

I know gamblers anonymous are still active but I havent chance to sign up for that yet.

If there is anyone out there who is further down the line than me , who would be okay with me giving them a call one day , I would appreciate it.

Day 9 

 

Still gamble free.

 

After a very difficult weekend full of urges and temptations I'm pleased to say I'm still going strong.

 

Thanks to everyone who reached out to me.

Each day is a new challenge but a blessing at the same.
