Day 245 GF - no inclinations to play the slots in months. Today I was watching a programme where people were discussing playing slots and bam, just like that, I was trying to find sites to play which circumvented Gamban and Gamstop. Very fortunately those I did find didn't sound very trustworthy so I didn't go ahead. I thought I had this demon licked and haven't been on this site in quite a while but this just goes to show you can be tempted when you least expect it. Time to spend more time on here and remember why I signed up in the first place.

Hi Red Dragon

Great post and a reminder about complacency. I don't think I will ever get away from recovery and doing something each day. Keeps me grounded and away from any thoughts of gambling. So glad you didn't reset your clock

@lp5vut869c Thanks Stuart, it was quite scary to realise that Ill always be fighting the demon but I'll take it as a win that I didn't gamble.

Good for you Red Dragon 👏👏👏. It is so easily done if you don’t have every block in place needed. I succumbed last year and relapsed twice, after going 470 plus days g.f. I have learned my lesson since and strengthened my blocks! It sounds like you have to 👌👊💪.

Hope you have a happy g.f day.

Pink Lady 🩷🍎.
