2016 Challenge

Checking in day 20 slot free. LifeBegins x

Hi all,

Back to the Monday morning update for the first time for what seems like ages. Congrats to all 21 of us who have checked in this week (we're up to 98 people total who have -at some point - checked in this year: I hope the other 77 are OK in recovery but everyone who has checked in this week has remained gamble free).

Welcome to new members this week, especially those who have moved accross from different challenges. It seems to be a testing time for the forum in general at the moment. Personally, the last thing I want is to be isolated by my addiction and at risk of a slip. This challenge will remain here..admittedly I don't contribute too much across the forum but I do read updates a lot and I see worrying repeating patterns of behaviour from people ; I hope people remain on this challenge for their own sakes (updating the totals isn't a problem).

Also congrats to onlyme for hitting 3 figures...well done.

checking in day 28.

Good day!

I was lost again for 2 months. My last post was April 28, 2016 and that was my day 82.

Now I need to start again. I lost again and the money that should have went to pay my credit card debt was gone. No more savings, no more money. I hate that I played again for this past 2 months. I really can't managed my money. I am an educated person but when it comes to handling my finances, gambling is the first thing that goes to my mind especially during payday.

Now I am broke again. I do not know why do I keep playing, probably I do not what to give up thinking that I will win and slowly get the money that I lost. I hate myself. I go to church every Sundays and my family knows that I am not gambling anymore.

From this day moving forward, I will go to this site everyday I wake up, everytime I feel the urge of gambling despite being broke.

I will try my best to be a better person starting today.

God bless us all
