    No gambling since my last post thank God. Pretty busy at the moment and trying to stay focused I feel focused odaat. Few things going on that it would be so easy to sun and have a bet but it would only make things worse.
    Im doing ok could be better and could be worse it can always be worse once that first bet is placed.
    Just for today I will not gamble
    Take care everybody!

    Thanks P. Had no contact wit my v gud female friend for at least 3 months weve been in contact again since xmas its nice were still friends all be it from a distance its best that way and to be honest have to keep some blocks up their for both are sakes. My main priority now is my ma and da.
    I am very protective of God but i also know how sick a sense of humour he has but i still believe.
    Im learning alot about me im learning a lot about life and a lot about gambling addiction.
    Ive learnt im a terrible gambler and i meamterrible im not a big machine person these days but when the bookies shut i play machines because ive started and i kant believe how bad value machines are when theyre played compulsively to me its aform of injustice and resent that its allowed i remember as a child seeing a clip of fruit machines been thrown into the sea when they came out first itwas in black and white i wish it would happen again. Iknow of a man who is a recovering alcoholic who has madea clean fortune out of gambling addicts for me he should know better. But thats life were all only human.

    Thanks bcfc and Ican. Really hope to catching up with a lot of diaries very very soon. Feel a bit better yesterday and today. You do be kind of relieved when you literally cant chase no more. Its like i play a stupid game every few months on and off on and off. When i gamble i dont exercise i dont eat properly i dont work properly i dont answer my phone much i dont be where i say i am etc etc. When im not gambling i work properly i exercise properly im available on my phone im reliable i eat properly well kinda haha.
    I have to keep trying to arrest this rotten disease. Have to lóok forward and although im scared im going to always gohpng to be a serial slipper i have to try and put that to the back of mind besides i should only be taking it one day at a time.
    Im a bit embarrased and feel like a bit of a broken record on here this last year. This is a good forum with good people going to try and post more reguarly

    Thanks 4 the posts hopfully get back to use soon. Been a tough couple of months gambling is hard work with long unsocial hours and unfortunately the pay is terrible. Havnt gambled since friday due to lack of funds. No choice but to try again very little confidence in myself to arrest this but i have to try odaat. Its no life practicising my addiction no life at all wouldnt wish it on anyone !
