2015 Challenge

Hi I would like to join the 2015 challenge please. I user to play online. I've been gamble free now for 29 days. I'm in the process of arranging counselling.

Checking in on day 9, great post about the urges. My last slip showed I gave into urges too easily, next time (if there is a next time) I will be well prepared. Thanks.

Great update Phil

Checking in on 301 days,

checking in on day 347

some superb posts and shares from others on here

i'd like to remind everyone that there is additional support on the online chat from 8.00 - 9.00 daily. We still have our meeting on a wednesday night 8.00 - 9.00 especially for the Challengers so don't ever think your on your own in your journey

Poblwc all you have to do is make another post before midnight on Saturday and you will be added to the challenge and checked in.

Hope all the troops have a good start to what could be a tough week. I get paid on Friday, safely into my mums account, I feel strong with no urges and believe if I had the money in my bank I wouldn't gamble, but why test myself? My money will be looked after and I will be going into March gamble free! Make sure you plan carefully this week and don't slip up.

Morning all, check in 67 day, a bit to late. Crazy week for me, with work and friends coming around, but I am still here and still keep it strong. Day by day feeling better and now with 67 GF, for me it will start the real deal...been here before but now I have to focus on diffrent activities and try to save money for the good things. I know I can do it, the same as all of us!!!

Hey sorry for the late check in but was at a wedding at the weekend. Still havent slipped so can you please add me as checked in, thanks for all your work on this.

Cheers

This thread is great! Brennzky checking in, at a whopping 3 days. For me it will be a record if I can make it to double digits. Please add me and I hope I will not dissapoint you all, and more importantly, myself.

Day 258 keep up the good fight guys

Mea culpa, Phil - sorry to have done it again by not checking in last week. As I have said before this is symptomatic of how far-removed I now feel from gambling - something I profoundly wish for all on this site. So here I am checking in for this week on my Day 351 (?) and sending encouraging thoughts to all Challengers - keep going at it!

Lady Baggins Joanna,

a big massive well done to you on 351 days, you have moved outside of the addiction frame, and I am sooo pleased for you.

You are doing simply marvellous.

Hi All, Checking in on Day 269 Gamble Free.

Great update Phil, and some excellent advice on those dreaded urges, I am sure we all have them and try and deal with them - it's the complacency [and capability] that will trip you up as I know to my cost!

Just amazed at the £'s saved stats that we have all saved from wasting and if we project that to year end - wow!! Lets go for a record and try and beat the 2014 challenge total!! That will take us all marching together strongly, one day at a time folks.

Have a great gamble free week everyone - see you on the other side of check in!

Kind regards, Cliff

Hi all,

Just checking in on day 606. Really good week celebrating the big 600 and no thoughts or urges..it felt great to share my story with a lot of you guys and really motivated me to keep going and only look ahead! Get paid on Wednesday which is always a tough period however its also my birthday on the 25th so all my money will be spent on the finer things in life such as beer and cake! Wishing you all well and as always I am here if needed, regularly check thread now and also have my own personal thread should you wish to talk!

Kind Regards

Krishan

Checking in wounded,and unfortunately back to day 2

Saturday's have always been tough for me and last Saturday proved my downfall.

Can't begin to explain what happened, it just seemed to creep up on me and bang ! .

Thought i'd self excluded or closed all my accounts , but I managed to find one still open (closed now).

No financial damage done ,just my pride and coming back on here with my tail between my legs.

My binge lasted 2-3 hours with all the old feelings flooding back,luck has it that I was at a wedding in the evening so my binge was cut short.The reality of what had happened began to sink in with huge regrets and if i'm honest spoiled my night.

I had no urge to gamble Sunday or today Monday so maybe I can start again from a stronger position.

I would love to post what to avoid, so not to be in my position but I cannot I simply don't know why I did what I did.

Hope everyone being stronger than me Dino x.

Checking in 8 weeks gamble free.
