P.S - Thanks again Phil for the update, just catching up on the latest post's, as I've been so so busy.

There seems to be a very strong link in the group at the minute, which is great to see and I'm sure Mr B will have been able to relax somewhat more on his holoday because of it 🙂

And smashing that quater of a million mark is awesome! We have all played a role, so lets all pat ourselves on the back and carry on as NORMAL!

I am very sad to report i have gambled very hard in the past 8 weeks. The past 3 days i have been reflecting on this and went out and bought a brand new computer and added gamblock instantly. All my old computers are gone i have only one in the house. I would like to start again fresh and sorry its only day 3 for me. I don't deserve to be re added here. I have to earn it but for now i am back and checking in ...

Evening everyone,

So my fortnight holiday has come to an end and I'm tucked up in bed ready for a 5am alarm and a return to work - feels incredibly sore!! Best holiday ever though!! Thanks again to bornagain for the amazing updates and all the effort in keeping this juggernaut going!!

I'm pretty tired so not a long post tonight, but some quickies......

- it's excellent to see the energy and check ins from the newer members of the team - day 1 or day 1001 - we are all absolutely equal......but the early days and breaking the habit are among the hardest - be proud soldiers!

- for the guys wishing to join this week, StopNow, you'll def be added on Sunday.....Gazza and ZZZ, if you guys want to join then please simply repost stating your commitments to this team.....it may seem draconian but writing it down makes you think hard about what you'd be letting down!!

- CasinoLoser - not one person is more or less worthy to be in this challenge - you've slipped, you've come back, you are one of this team mate and we're here for you. Dust down and start marching again!! Welcome back to base camp!!

- Mike18 - I'm delighted you've told her mate - I think it will be a really big part of your longer term recovery, hope it's going well.

We've only got just over 48 hours for check in this week and we're less than 50% checked in from the biggest group ever......here's me thinking that bornagain had whipped you all into shape as well!! Shine those boots soldiers and get your check ins made!!

Will update again tomorrow. There are soldiers out there that need your support......please read some recovery diaries of members of this team and be placing posts of support if you feel they may need it......believe me, they do.

Mr B

Hi everyone checkin in for this week, glad to hear Mr bright side had a top holiday, luckily for me thats where I will be for a couple of weeks, so will be unable to check in until week ending 29th June . Before I go just want to say the supportive and informative posts in this diary really do help you with problem gambling, it was a superb idea to start this thread. Catch u at de end of the month.

Hi All - joined the site today as step one on that rocky road to re-recovery. Not sure how you post a new thread so just responding to the last one? Apologies if that is not the right way to do it! Have posted on teh new members forum, so off to start a recovery diary now! Thank you.

Checking in day 44

Checkin in - day 20

This touched me thank you so much for these words

Had a really good day loads of housework visit to gym and swim with my daughter. Life is good!

Still determined as always.
