Hi all,

Please see below the latest tally count...great to see that all 25 soldiers who checked in stayed gamble free. Brilliant work.

Couple of things for this week :-

1) Cheltenham week.This can be big challenge for gamblers. Keep those barriers up, restrict access to cash, stay in touch on this forum and do what you have to do to resist temptation. We can all do this with a bit of planning.

2) Self-exclusion: OldhamKTF has brilliantly found a number that allows you to self-exclude from all bookmakers within a postcode. The number is on one of his posts but I'm sure he woudn't mind sharing the experience if anyone would find it useful.

Best of luck to you all for the week ahead.

Checking in this week. Well done to those others working hard on their recoveries!

Hi everyone. Exploring the posts tonight. Enjoying the inspiration. 138 today. Busy weekend away with a night out in Birmingham. Looking forward to seeing mates. Stay away from the fruit machines!! I will be telling them!

Checking in day 9 :o).

Have you discovered your purpose? “What’s my purpose?” Is he question every should ask themsevles Answering it will change your life instantly. Because in your answer you will not find "my purpose is to gamble all my hard earned money away" Your purpose is to live your life the way you want too and I know you dont want to gamble. So look deep inside and right a list of all the things you want to achieve, get married, have kids, save for a new car, anything that is relevant to you. Now spend all your time focusing on that list. overtime you will learn to do the right thing and gambling will not even come into your thoughts. You will NOT reach your goals by gambling. For me I am saving for a house, getting married in May and want to have children so LOTS of things to focus on. I have told myself gambling will not get these things, it would only lose them. Do I want to lose them all? No way. It’s hard to know where you’re going in life unless you know who you are – your truth. To create your life roadmap, first identify and prioritize your values. Doing so will give clarity of what you need in life as opposed to what you simply want. Today I will be strong, today I will not gamble, x

Nice post, It's over.

Makes sense!
