Hi Monica thanks for your post on my thread , i do know what triggers my indulgence and i do have barriers in place including self exclusion but i drove 8 miles and even though i am excluded they didn’t know me so i got away with it . I have contacted a counceller as i feel i need to speak to someone non judgemental and am hoping to go for my first appointment soon . Your last post says today has been a good day which in itself is a blessing. 🙂

I feel a failure and remorseful for being a gambler, today i gambled not for the first time in the last few weeks i’m not sure what to do anymore .

[Nick]

My recovery is going well , taking each day as it comes and focusing on my targets .

[Nick]

Thanks laura and kathryn i’m still not gambling i have my barriers in place and they have worked when i have thought about it. Thanks laura for the links , some good pointers about why .

[Nick]

Laura , thanks for that it’s good to remind me of all the good things i can be doing instead of wasting time on ngative things.

Hanging on to the ground ive now got under my feet sounds like a good option i feel like i’m on firm ground now.

[Nick]

Recovery okay , relationship not going well , i’m just not gambling to try and cloud the issue or blank it out , head splitting but i’m not gambling.

[Nick]

My recovery is going well, now i have had time to think about where i want to be it is nice to have a picture in my mind of that .

[Nick]

Hi Laura thank you for your advice , recovery is working for you a year is a long time , recovery is something i’m working on.

I’m actually enjoying life again and doing all the things i enjoy some of which i’d stopped doing.

Not sure why glumpsammite has advertised a casino on my journal ? last thing i need ?

[Nick]

I’m trying not to try to do everything at once , so much to do now i’m in recovery and so much to catch up on . Debts and the worry it brings are so stressful.

[Nick]

I have been making a list of my prioritys , just taking my time to think about them and how i should approach them and deal with them and what they mean to me. First time ever i have put myself on the top , if i’m looking after myself i figure i will be able to address and look after the others.

[Nick]

Lots of supportive advice so far , thanks Velvet,Laura and Charles. Iv’e kept myself busy today and enjoyed it, lots of things to do and think about .
