2014 Challenge

Great update pal, I am more than happy to put myself forward for the first weeks Q&A session.

Del 🙂

Thank you Mr B - wise words as ever....

Congratulations to all on reaching the various milestones and welcome to all new recruits.

Checking in for the coming week on my Day 56.

This seems like a brilliant idea.

Day 1 for me, hoping to keep it up.

Been away over the weekend and completely forgot to check-in.

The good news is I have now reached 30 days gamble free and aim to continue this till 50 and beyond.

I am away in Turkey for 10 days from Tuesday and will try and check in if I get a chance.

Regards

Craig

Great update as always Mr B! 🙂 I am happy to be 'in the spotlight' - another great idea mate

I will email my answers tonight.

Stay strong everyone!

Evening everyone,

A pretty good Sunday for the challenge as we welcome back NoCrisis and Chirst!! Delighted to see you checking in this week!!

We also potentially welcome 4 new soldiers - idiot1467 (Darren), Granite, Jess2910 and greenunit - this is the most we've ever had joining in one day........and all of you hopefully ending today with the start of your journey in tact. I have two simple asks of you all - please read the very first post in this thread......it'll tell you all the things you need to know. And secondly, please check in at least once more this week with an update as to how you are doing. You are committing to your journey and certainly for the next few weeks at least, you are committing to be part of this team and need to remember this commitment when temptation to gamble comes along. Good luck new soldiers - we welcome you with open arms and are delighted you have joined us.

Del and Adam - you guys are up for the spotlight for the first shot at this. Please mail me your answers and we'll get them on next Sunday - it's really fitting it's you guys actually.......one of you holding the greatest length of time without gambling and the other celebrating a 100 days clean this week.......lots of words of wisdom to provide!

Have a great week everyone.

Mr B

Hi all,

Just a quick post to congratulate all on hitting them big milestones! Havnt got much time now, so hi to all new members and checking in gambling free! 🙂

Scambling

Craig - have a brilliant holiday mate - holiday dispensation comes into play so if you can't check in then I'll do it on your behalf. Enjoy!!!

Mr B

Mr Brightside, well done on your challenge and good to see so many signed up. Its great to have others relying on you not to break during the low points. We missed the opening weeks so are in the other camp. Are we the 'enemy' lol for having our alternate challenge under Scottyboys guidance in the recovery diaries? Its maybe like boxing or darts etc two tournaments running at the same time, only we certainly don't claim to be any better - all with the same goals. Keep gamble free everyone 🙂

checking in this week day 45

yes coming up to my day 50 but not taking anything for granted

i've done that in the past only for my chickens to come home to roost

i'll enjoy day 45 thanks

well done everyone else

Hi

Checking in after a gamble free but still tough weekend- I HATE the fact that gambling is advertised EVERYWHERE

Have a good week everyone

Stay strong

Hi,

Checking in on day 27 and no thinking about gambling.

Then again this isn't really true as I actually think every day about it, but in a positive way how I can stay strong and how I can inspire others to believe in a live without gambling. ( big words little man lol)

A big well done to everyone here and especially to the ones with the big numbers, as you are the prove that it can work when I just really want it.

A good and free of gambling week to all of you.

With respect and love

Wolfgang
