Morning troops, sorry to hear there have been a few slips. I have decided as it is so late I am going to leave everyones check ins valid from last week and do a bumper update this Sunday to make up for missing a week out. I feel awful about missing the update last week but promise normal service will be resumed from this weekend onwards. As well as highlighting the milestones for next week I will highlight them from this current week too. Hope this is ok and I won't let any of you troops down again.
Checking in on day 73 still gamble free, glad your ok Phil and hope everyone has a good weekend.
Checking in day 18 got paid within 10 mins had transferred all wages less ВЈ40 to partner rent bills etc and feel good...but I know I need to make thwt £40 last a month now and totally aware of how I cannot ever go in bookies again cause even if I did and only lost that amount will feel.just as bad as losing more..it's just not gonna happen odaat
All sounds good to me phil, for all the good your challenge is doing us well let you have one week off!
Hi Phil hope you are well mate. Checking in on day 54! Life feels so much better without gambling! Have a lovely gamble free weekend troops.
Scott.
Checking in on day 110 GF! Feeling good. About to pay off my 10k loan as soon as my next pay goes in. A 6 grand bonus pay packet that would normally mostly go in the fruities but it's clearing the debt! Happy days! Not had many urges. Can even watch someone lose 50 quid in a fruity and not shark them like I would have in the past(I do advise everyone to not gamble but if they haven't got a problem with it its just fun for them!)
Keep going everyone!
Checking in - Day 21 - still feeling rubbish.. hard to recover from losing £50,000 in a matter of 2 months.. just don't know how i'll ever recover.. anyway
Phil mate, you have no need to apologise. Hope you are ok. This gambling nonsense is life destroying and I'm really pleased you are back on track. Stay strong pal and Thankyou for all the effort you put in. Andy
Checking in for another GF week, nearly 5 months of this challenge gone now gamble free. Keep strong everyone, small steps one day at a time.

Evening everyone,
Quick check in for me this week.
Phil - remember that first and foremost this challenge is for you and your recovery journey is your own - you need to do what you need to do. If that means missing a week to do what's best for you to square the head and get refocused then it's the right thing to do. The challenge is a great tool to help people but you need to look after yourself. Doesn't matter how far away I am, I'm still here. Hope you're ok Philla!
Keep strong soldiers,
Mr Brightside
Checking in day 19.. No urges life is tough at moment but better without gambling that's for sure..
Checking In Day 107 GF.
Huge thanks to everyone for the support you've shown me this past week. We have two missing soldiers ahead of tonights check in, minksy89 and pabby you still have time to get safely checked in. The update will be done first thing tomorrow morning! Enjoy your Saturday troops, I'm in work so mine won't be the best!
70days still going strong
Left my check in slightly later this week so I could get to the nice round figure of 150 days. Very pleased with that. Every day that goes by makes me that little more determined to keep doing what im doing.
Tommorow marks my 5 month anniversary as well 🙂
