Cheryl xxx
Sorry for the late check-in. I reached 20 weeks yesterday. Day 141 today.
Checking in for the New week early. Still gamble free. Still trying hard every day. Still committing to recovery.
Checking in day 7 and doing ok.in terms of no urges to gamble still.very raw..
Checking in 134 days gamble free - days really starting to add up now - - - but not getting complacent as know it can bite you on the nose as quick as lightning if you relax too much in false sense of cure.
Well done fellow comrades
Checking in on day 346 not long till 1 Year, can't believe how much better off I feel now i don't gamble any more
Checking in - not sure if I did already last week, but I'm still going fine. Had some random thoughts about gambling this week - think it's this danger of letting your mood get down, but almost 5 months without gambling which is good.
Checking in for the new week Phil. Going to try check in Early every week as find myself forgetting otherwise and busy with meeting atm
Welcome to the challenge A86N, read through it so you know how it works and see how much of a help it has been and when you make another post you will be added to the front page and checked in.
Checking in for the 1st time,
Day 11 for me, been doing well on controlling my urges but today I'm struggling a tad but I WILL get over this!!!
Checking in on day 102 gamble free.
Feeling very low at the moment, lots going on family wise. Determined not to gamble as it would only make everything worse.
Will be away ion holiday for 2 weeks from Saturday afternoon so not sure if I'll be able to check in depends on Wi-Fi. If I can't I will still be gamble free if you can mark me in please Phil.
Stay strong everyone and remember that together we can do it!
Challenge Update Week 19
Intro
We head into this week 49 strong and with 7 missing soldiers. There was a problem with the site midweek so I hope everyone’s messages came through. It’s been a positive week, some of us are struggling but we are mostly staying strong and even when we slip we come back and start again. It’s good not to give up on giving up.
There was a post from Mo in the week about 4 months not being a milestone I have listed. To answer this I’m using the same milestones that were used in the 2014 challenge and if I was to add new ones then it would over complicate things.
Missing Soldiers
Promise, Freshman247, tt1980, scotty 1971, Lemon25, Garyl1976 and matty 21 you all missed check in, I hope you are all well and return this week. For any soldiers who need to contact me you can email me on [email protected] or use the group chatroom on a Wednesday night run by Sergeant Triangle.

Roll of Honour/ Days Gamble Free!
I hope those counts are correct, please check your count and let me know if you think I have made a mistake. So based on average losses of 50 pounds a day as gamblers we have collectively saved the grand total of…………………………………….£368150………………………………………………. well done troops, the half million isn’t far away!
Summing Up
It’s been a quicker than usual update as my times been limited by longer than usual shifts in work and long stressful meetings. But remember if anyone has anything they would like to write for future updates or any articles they would like me to feature you can contact me by email and pass them on to me. So many of you are doing so well and as well as changing your lives you are also inspiring others, keep up the good work troops!

A86N welcome to the challenge, you are now checked in on the front page!
Hi all,
Sorry for missing last week...thought I had but no matter.
Still no thoughts or compulsions to gamble and life is going well at the moment. Still have money issues but at least they are going down and not up!
Take care everyone.
