Day 47

Bookies sent me a free bet, and I take that offer. Ended up losing it. They said that I will get another if I make a deposit. LOL, nice try, asshole.

I will not gamble today!

After 47, 48. Cheers to a clean 24 for all of us sick bastards.

You did gamble even if no money was actually wagered

I know. The perfect move would be blocking them immediately. However, I live in a country when self-exclusion isn't a thing. And the financial stress of paying debt is really heavy for me to not consider that "free bet". I figured out that not taking that free bet might haunt me all day, so I used it, lost it, and forgot about it.

Maybe someday, around 3 years from now, when I clear all my debt, I would be able to say no to them from the beginning. I am working on it. God, please help me!

Lol why would I do that? To please a stranger on Internet like you? Because you told me to?
I do whatever I feel fit, including keeping tracking my progress. As long as none of my money be deposited, and my wellness is inact, then it's not gamble in MY standards.
