Hi all,

Just a short update to day as snowed under in work. Welcome to the new members and hope this helps with your recovery. It's great to see so many people recording gf week on top of gf week. We're through the first month now and still have 35 people checked-in. There's a cumulative total of 6981days which, at £50 per day, totals just under £350k! Great work.

I'm also going away on Thursday (something I'd be unable to afford if still gambling) so am unable to update the challenge. So am either looking for a volunteer for the next 2 weeks or keep checking in and I'll update at some point w/c 15th. Either works for me.

Hi there I am a new member. My name is Keith Murdoch and I have a gambling addiction. I am on the brink of losing everything and everyone and I am here to seek help. I thought this might be a good starting place for me to track my progress. I have not gambled in 36 hours which doesn't sound long but to me, it is. I need to beat this and I hope together we can make a lot of progress on the road to recovery.

Checking in on 645 days, new month, new challenges but they are soo much less stressful to face with out gambling in the mix.

Keep strong and keep winning troops, and have a great gambling free week.

Checking in on day 191.

Forgot to check in last week after a busy weekend.

Hope everyone is feeling positive as we start Feb.

So it's only been about 4 days but I am making some progress. I missed poker tonight for the first time in years, every tuesday night without fail. I won't lie I had the urges but I didn't have the feeling I usually have where it is "unmissable" I knew I wasn't going and I accepted it. I'm still getting those urges and I expect that to go on for a long time but with help from you all and by keeping track of my progress, I can beat this, we all can 🙂
