Today is my 8th day Gamble Free.Â
I am away with work at an exhibition for the week so it is helping keep my mind distracted as I simply have no time to think about gambling. Â I am hoping that these early days of distraction can help break the cycle.Â
I simply have to stop losing thousands and thousands of pounds from this addiction. From all that I have lost I sometimes feel lucky that I have not ended up homeless! This is my last chance to turn things around and become debt free.Â
I spend over £1000 of credit card and loans, this should be being used for living my best life. This is my focus, becoming debt free and giving me a chance to be having that lifestyle.Â
It is a long road ahead, I just hope I can stay disciplined this time.Â
That's amazing progress keep it up
Hi King,
Sorry to see that you relapsed but you need to focus on what you want in life. As you know my story is very similar but 319 days GF has changed my life massively. Happy and spending time doing what normal people do.Â
Still have 4 years left of debt but it’s nearly a year down. This is the worst part and if you can overcome this challenge you are 90% there as it’s the thought of what an idiot we’ve been that kills you.
i know it’s hard and I still have days where I am tempted, but I don’t want to go back to that dark place that ruined my life for 10 years +.
Wishing you all the best and really hope you can win this battle. There is a happy life out there for all of us 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Keep it up and concentrate on the good things in life.
I am 10 days gamble free with the last time being on Thursday 13th Feb. I've been away with he family on uk holiday so not really had time to think about gambling. Now I am back home I don't want to get back into that horrible cycle of drinking and gambling and I am trying to best to fight the urges. Looking at by bank balance now gives me a bit of hope as I've not wasted my wages on gambling, I have debts to pay accrued from gambling substantial amounts it's sickening, but I want to gradually pay these off without applying for help as it would ruin my credit score. If I withhold each day from gambling I am 1 day closer to being debt free. Good luck with yoir journey and we can beat this evil addiction.
