I'll never ever become complacent , complacency is a killer.

Well done to everyone on thread your doing great.

Apologies for not being as active on forum , so busy with life and living it properly. Reading , family holiday , snooker team , running ,work.

Amazing how much can do and achieve with no gambling in life.

All the best

Also so sorry for any late check in s Mr b , your doing a fantastic job running this thread and it really has helped me.

Hi to all challengers. Day 211 on Sunday

Sorry to hear about family mr B and mama b thoughts are with you.

As for me this has been the worst week for having gambling urges. In my head can't seem to distract myself and get to a rational mindset.

All barriers in place no card no access but time on hands. Lacking motivation to do other things terrible feeling. Debt in head also . My mum phoning every night checkin in with her. Maybe new job was not such a good idea stress stress. Enough still gamble free hanging on by the skin of my teeth hitthefanx

Sorry Mr B, going on holiday had the opposite effect to what I thought. Felt like I was away from everything including this very supportive website. One small bet and I was chasing again. So annoyed at my complacency. 4 days in and hoping I can carry on to the end of 2014 and be in a good place for a full clean 2015.

On the plus side, despite the annoyance and time consuming of gambling while on holiday I did have some really good times, just wish I could be home and have that great feeling of days under my belt.

Will get back into the fantasy football to keep me busy.

checking in,, nearly 10 months clean now love richy

Checking in day 92 it does get easier love the fact that I know spend money on nice things rather then wasting it away every month stay strong everyone

Checking in.

Have had a hard week at work but still gambling free!

Keeping strong and keeping busy is my way forward with this battle.

Check in Day 176 - nearly had a f* it and have a big all out punt moment this week - but I didn't let it happen:) Good luck!

Checking in, not sure the day, back from holidays, refreshed and still gambling free. Final CBT session in the past week and I feel great. Everyone can do this!

Checking in at the end of a much easier week for me no gambling urges at all......well nearly I still get a little adrenaline rush when bookies adverts come on TV. I'm feeling a lot happier with life this week and long may it continue. Good luck for the coming week, Daz.

Checking in on day 30, the urge to gamble hasn't been there as I have been busy with changing jobs and family commitments! Not been a great week as my gran has taken a turn for the worse. Going to be back and forward to the hospital over the next few weeks but will still remember to check in.

Checking in but back to day 1. Pay day came and there wasn't much left after I had paid all my debts. I ended up going to the bookies after I had been food shopping. I feel awful for doing it, I have done put so much into this and now its sucked me back in. I actually won and then walked out and spent it on a night out last night. I need to refocus and make sure this doesn't happen again, I cant keep doing this to myself!

Checking in GF 🙂

The weeks are just flying by at the minute...
