Newbie looking for advice
#16
Today (Weds) has turned out to be a success for me as I haven't gambled and have now made it to a handful of hours past a week since I last did. I must admit though, I was a bit worried about it as traditionally weds are difficult days for me. I think it is because I always have a hectic start to the week then weds I usually manage to get some time to myself to just relax and recharge the batteries before the end of the week which is busy again. I think that because I do have time to think more on weds that everything plays on my mind and as things do get very stressful it all gets chance yo come to the front instead of being shoved to the back of my mind somewhere while I am too busy to deal with it. Anyway I decided that I needed a distraction and as I had already worked out my money and come to the conclusion that I could pay a bit off my credit card and a bit off my overdraft in addition to my normal credit card payment, purely due to what I haven't gambled away, it would be good if I rewarded myself for my achievements thus far. I'd got a little money left after paying the bills and the extra payments I wanted to make, and I had a bit in my emergency fund that I had put to one side when my gambling was becoming a risk to things getting paid. I don't want to need it anymore so I took some of the money out of it. I headed out to the Trafford centre as I thought a nice new pair of trainers would be a good reward, especially as the ones I have are very knackered. I'd seen some a few weeks ago that I really liked but never thought I would be able to afford them even though they are not expensive. I was all set to get them, but they didn't have my size in stock in the colour that I wanted. Still, it saved me some money today. I am very pleased with myself though as I went straight there and straight home again and other than a coffee and cake and a replacement hands free car holder for my phone, I brought all they money back home again and put it back in the emergency tin. It was very tempting yo stop off at a garage on the way back and get some scratchcards but I just reminded myself that I had promised not to gamble today and I was not going to go back on my promise. Having football on tonight too has been a very good distraction. I didn't even look at the odds before or during the match.

So all in all today has been a good day. Taking each day one day at a time.
