Two weeks!
Today officially makes the two week point since I have uninstalled all gambling apps off my phone and have been clean since. The first week was really easy and I felt amazing, however the past few days I’ve been having temptations, out of boredom, FOMO, etc. My friends who aren’t gambling addicts keep sending me photos of their slips, and I just kinda awkwardly look at it, I keep telling myself “well i can just play with a little bit” or “I can just play with this and if I lose it I won’t care” but that’s not the person I am and I can’t control myself when I do that. I feel great that I’ve been making progress though, whenever I get the urge to even put any amount of money in a app, I just immediately think about how bad of a mindset / position I was in 2 weeks ago, and how I never wanna feel like that again. The surroundings in my life make this more difficult. Will post an update next week!

8 days today myself op. Have to say have noticed I am a lot less irratatible and in the moment. On the downside I definitely feel a lot more boredom though
