    ANother day where i am drained of energy, The hardest week is definitely the first.
    I didnt think much of gambling today…
    However still very low on energy, mainly due to low qulity sleep.
    I see a lot of people post that they are problem gamblers , and they quit and all it takes is one small bet and thats it …..
    its amazing how we cant ever become functional recreational gamblers … SOmething really different happens in our mind when we gamble ….
    Keep fighting the good fight my freinds and stay away from The enemy…
    keep your freinds close but your enemy totally out of site and buried ….
    Keep those stress levels low… and most of all keep helping yourselves and others hold on to their wellbeing

    I once heard a problem gambler told me , if he won 4000 in 1 hour, its not satifying for him… he hasnt got that fix yet , hed consider a good day if he was 60 quid down and spent the entire day playing , Now thats scary .

    Then there is some people that dont spend a lot of hours daily on gambling…but during their binge they literally ruin themselves… Gambling huge amounts on one spin…. ruining there entire savings in just a couple nights….. And it all stems from the fact that they cant take losses. 

    we must rewire our minds to be satisfied with small adreanline rushes…HEnce the longer we lay the beast the sleep..the weaker he becomes

    these freinds of my mine will understand if i say no, theyre cool guys… But for now im a bit ashamed to tell them the full extent of things, I was always a responsible person in the group… I

    im really giving myself a chance to stop for good ,,, Im am not gonna mess up after today ( easier said than done )… 

    Im trying to convince my mind as well To HAve no self Doubt about quitting … I find that when fear creeps in about doing it again ( i think i give my addiction the edge over my self control ) … 

    There a lot of pwerful tools to prevent us from gambling, but none more powerful than training the mind the properly execute

    4 days since my relapse, Still replaying the losses, Was able to perform decent in work today after blocking out the losses, I put everything in place financially for the next month or so ( food,bills, )… was suppose to buy a new tv this week ( CANT) Dealing with the temptations to play again very strictly – Everytime gambling comes on my mind… I associate it with sickness and negativity… the good part of my brian keeps telling myself its never okay to play.. Whereas the addiction part of my brain  will tell me – “Play smart, Youd win and walk and be happy in life ” ( A big fat lie and i see you). Not falling for it today Not falling for it again

    Terrible sleep last night, went to bed a bit early couldnt sleep , kept replaying the nightmare…..

    Performed decent in work today, kinda hid from anything hard.

    Wanted to use my credit card to have a gamble today.. however resisted easily …. ..
    These last three days were really surreal and painful
    Look foward ot making it to day 4
