Checking in on day 44. No thoughts of gambling lately - but keeping blocks in place helps me as I'd find it difficult to gamble from home.

Looking fwd to Christmas now, trying to save spare money for that and holiday next year. No time or spare cash to gamble 🙂

I'm up to 98 days since I had a lapse. I'm in good control but need to keep building my pot of money up. My bank account is still terrible but it's improving. By now I would have had overdrawn txtin from bank. There is hope!

I haven't checked in since my 1 year point. Currently on day 623 since the last time I gambled, a day when I lost all of my money in service station fruit machines before my bills had even been paid for the month. Never again. It's got easier as times gone on. Even though I've revently split with my Mrs and have a lot of spare time on my hands.. I'm finding It easy to stay away. Keep strong everyone.

Checking in day 6. I've abstained from gambling for 256 days this year but had 2 relapses and lost 5k playing poker, I wasn't even trying to win. No more relapses for me. I got a 4.5k tax rebate last week so I have a clean slate now financially. Here we go again.....onwards and upwards!

Hi I have not been on here for over 18 months when I stood up to the fact I had real issues with my gambling. Unfortunately in recent weeks I have started to relapse to the point where I have lost 2000 pounds in the past 2 weeks. The addiction cost me my relationship as my girlfriend of nearly 3 years lost all trust in me coming clean 18 months back. Out of respect of how supportive she was I really want to get back on track so it starts as of now. Good luck to all on here I have done it for a seriously sustained amount of time before and I will again but I know it won't be easy.
