186 days into my gamble free life has been difficult this week. For the first time in 10 years & the excitement of the new football season without a bet. I have had to distract myself by doing jobs, normally I have been able to relax on the sofa and not think about betting but this week has been a really test.Â
I am grateful that my discipline and determination has stopped me but I have to admit when viewing the fixtures I was in my head picking out winners who no doubt I would have previously bet on.Â
However, the end goal remains…..keep battling away to reach my gamble and debt free life.Â
A lot of the games these days are awful like watching paint dryÂ
Â
Odds are always c**P , some games look like their rigged you end up watching for 90 mins and realising it would have been more fun going for a walk around the local parkÂ

We are missing nothing

Hi King,
I was feeling exactly the same and nearly caved in. Luckily I came to my senses and 496 days GF is still my status.
the temptation will always be there unfortunately. If only we could go back to simple £10 accumulator but we know where this leads.

@g100 So true, the years of simply having a £5 bet every Saturday for fun and then a 50p bet during the week with what was left in our betting account.
This is amazing guys its the only way forward my perceptions totally changed i wasent beating the operators as they never take the losses it other peoples money gambling made me selfish as when i did win i didnt care other people lost it was a selfish act as my gambling took place in venues people were all out for themselves this is something which never crossed my mind im no longer that person it what helped me remain gamble free and even for argument sake i could become a profitable gamblier would go back to gambling the answer is no i use to envy these type of people now they disgust me i see these people same light as drug dealers and it ethically and morrally wrong few month ago i was having urgues due to the amount of money i lost now that urgue has magically disapered and what ever it tries next i am fully prepared if i really wanted to gamble the blocks wouldnt stop me i honestly believe its the way i precieve gambling it what changed meÂ
