Challenge Update Week 25
Intro
We head into week 25 with 49 active soldiers and 8 who missed check in. It’s been a week that may have challenged some of us but I’m delighted that there have been some really positive posts and so many troops really are flourishing. Its holiday season and I notice many of you have been away or are going away, this just backs up the progress we are making. Those holidays wouldn’t have been possible whilst we gambled. It’s also Fathers Day and for those with children I’m sure they appreciate the changes in their dad since he started recovery. So well done all on another good week!
Missing Soldiers
mjc1974, LEST-WE-FORGET, TickFollowsTock, mac09, givingup4good, paul1001, shep and Del79 all missed check in. I’m sure most if not all of you are going well, hopefully you will check back in safely this week.
Task For The Week
I would like to highlight the progress made by members on here to help inspire others, especially newer members. So anyone who has feels proud of their progress and wants to put it into words is welcome to put it into writing and email me on [email protected] I will then put these posts on the weekly updates for all to see. You can talk about whatever you like, maybe how you started, how bad things got, where you are now, how recovery has helped you, what’s got better in your life, what works for you, your plans for the future etc. Really would be brilliant to get a few emails so I can use one or two a week for the next few weeks.
Milestones In The Coming Week
Balvaird on Monday, Dazz1982 and Casey next Sunday all reach 10 weeks gamble free, well done you three!!
matty21 and SierraJuliet both hit 3 months without a bet next Sunday, nearly into three figures, well done!!
J33 is a centurion on Monday, 100 days is no mean feat, congratulations!!
sonic boom on Wednesday and Jm24 on Saturday reach 6 months gamble free, top stuff soldiers!!
brutus123C smashes through 30 weeks next Sunday, impressive numbers!!!!
Roll of Honour/ Days Gamble Free!
Check your count troops and make sure you let me know if I’m a few days out. Now for the big numbers………………………………………… Based on average losses of 50 pounds a day whilst we gambled we have saved the grand total of ………………………………………………….£482250………………………………………….. next week we will smash through the half million mark, well done everybody!!
Summing Up
I don’t need to say too much this week, the amazingly positive posts from the past week sum things up. We are all making fine progress and we are almost halfway through the year. Keep it up troops and I look forward to many more milestones to celebrate and loads more positive and inspiring posts!

Lots of gambling thoughts, but i'm keeping the actions at bay
Phil, there should be another 2015 challenge meeting in the Chatrooms on wednesday 8-9pm as normal if anyone wants to attend. There is a forum admin on hand to assist.
Great update Phil - thanks mate. Well done on your own recovery as well - never easy trying to juggle so many things as well as focussing on what is right for you. Pwoud!!
Decided to get checked in nice and early this week - hope that everyone else does as well - it's always a really nervy week running the challenge after a big sports event the week before - you always worry that there have been "fallers" (pardon the pun).....early check ins always reduce the nerves so c'mon folks - get checking in now!!
Have a great week everyone.
Mr Bx
Great call Mr B so I am checking in nice and early this week to help reduce Phil's workload next weekend. Hopefully our missing soldiers will return this week along with other potential gambling addicts who wish to kick this terrible addiction.
Have a good week everyone.
Mike
