Checking in on 286 Days.

Best Wishes to All Concerned.

Checking in, missed last week as away on hols but have been strong since i last relapsed so around 3 weeks. Really feeling a lot better as is always the way once you get past the initial few days, just very hard to remember that at the time! One of my prouder moments when i logged into a site to ensure i had self excluded i found a decent balance from a bet that had one which i had no idea, Withdrew it there and then, no bets, and why because you will never win when you cant stop and i have much better things to do with my precious time and life. Well done everyone for staying strong and even just trying, only we will ever know how tough this addiction is and this is a great way to beat it, our community x

Checking in on day 97. The 100 mark fast approaching so looking forward to reaching that target. Happy birthday to chartom3. I remember birthdays & xmas's where I'd spent all my money gambling and be broke. So enjoy your day relaxing, free from gambling related stress.

Sorry Gary, I thought I'd checked in last week.

Still gambling free, but still not feeling in as good a place as I have been. Still can't shake the feeling that a massive slip up is on the horizon. But, trying my hardest to stay busy and not think about it. Isn't it madness that even when you know the destruction that will follow, you still find yourself wanting to do it. I'll never wrap my head round it.

Day 308 and concentrating in making it to day 309.

If your feeling like this Jess why not ring up Gamcare again or someone else?

Day 272 gamble free! Spent a fortune last month on presents and going out.. Something I would never have been able to have done if I still gambled! And I still had money left after splashing loads of cash! One sitting I used to lose up to 400 quid. What a waste of my life those days were! Keep strong troops

Checking in gamble free this week. Stay strong everyone.

Checking In day 520

Thanks Tri.

Got through yesterday, I find as long as I can stay busy things don't seem too bad. But, I don't want to spend the rest of my life having to stay busy all the time so I've decided I'm finally going to bite the bullet and give a GA meeting a try. There's a local one on Tuesday so I'll give it a bash. I find the thought of it a bit scary but what's the worst that can happen, right?
