2015 Challenge

Hi Slotsnomore and congratulations on reaching day 2, It's great that your other half is being supportive. Have you excluded from all sites you are a member of and or self excluded from your local bookmakers? It's really important to put as many blocks in place as you can so when the urge strikes you are prepared. Blocking software can be downloaded onto your computer or phone and many compulsive gamblers find it a massive help to pass over control of their finances to someone they trust. There's lots of help available on this forum and excellent advice and support. You are not alone, try to keep busy and positive, you can do this one day at a time x

Checking in day 76

94 days g/f for me. Big 100 next week.

Thanks Casey, I have handed over my bank card & credit card to my OH as I know as pay day comes the temptation will be strong again. I feel determined to beat this though, as well as feeling stupid and angry with myself for being such an idiot. x

Checking Inn 109 days

Good morning everyone,

Checking in this week from a hot and humid Cyprus on 581 gamble free days.
No thoughts or urges to place a bet and the huge debts I accumulated from previous years are eventually reducing. This would have never happened if I was still gambling and I never want to return to those dark days of my life.

A huge welcome to our new comers, slots no more and Tomgrogen95, you have both made the right decision and admitted your failings. It will be hard in the early days but with self discipline and honesty with yourself will allow you to move away from the terrible addiction we all have.

Keep up the good work fellow members and if your on day 1 or day 500, just try and take it a day at a time.

Have a enjoyable weekend.

Mike

Checking in on 205 days.

Hi everyone...checking in for the week on 470 happy days without a bet.

Having an amazing life at the moment with no urges, and loads to look forward to.

DAY 9. Feeling ok today, no gambling urges. Not getting carried away though, very early stages.

Checking in on day 129, finding it it difficult but still gamble free. Have a good weekend folks

Day 4 and so glad I left cards with OH as had the urge when I finished work. Anyway, looking forward to reaching full week GF. Have a good weekend everyone.

Checking in day 22! Next year's Olympics is a great aim!! Ill be trying my d**n hardest to get there too!! It's 384 days to the start of the Olympics. That would just edge me towards 400 days! Wouldn't that be awesome! I even think I would have saved thousands by then!!

Hello soldiers....check in for 212 GF. Good luck to everyone.

Checking in day 167. 6 month point fast approaching and in such a better position than I was gambling! Stick at it guys

Checking in on day 203. Had a bit of a wake up call this morning with a post from an old friend and it's made me realise how distant I've become from the site.

So, this week I'm going to make the time to catch up with as many people as I can. I really do appreciate all the support I've received since joining back in November and I know that I wouldn't be in the position I am now without it.

Take care everyone
