2017 Challenge

2ndApr17 wrote: Day 300!! Woop Woop. Very happy to reach this mark for the first time. The triple century sounds really good to me but not quite as good as 301 or 302 so it's still onwards for me but a very happy milestone to hit and really looking forward to being a year gamble free which I'm not taking for granted but I really believe I'll get there - and beyond. Thank you all, you all being here and gamcare as a whole is a massive part of my recovery and I'll never forget that.

Checking in - day 300!!

Happy Spartans day brother

It's that time of week again where I remind everyone that final check in is almost upon us.

Just to let everyone know. Updates on my week will be up about 10pm on Sundays.
As Mondays I'm always busy. But anyone checking in before midnight will still be added to the list on my return from work Monday night's.

Hopefully you have all had a good week and a bet free one

Still gamble free coming up to a month now

Day 30 checking in still going strong

Checking in 6 days gf

I was so tempted to hide this but realised there's completely no point in that - I had a little bit of a slip up yesterday. I didn't go wild and spend what I couldn't afford but soo annoyed and disappointed with myself. I joined this challenge so I felt accountable to something/someone, and having to admit I slipped up is difficult, but that's what I need.

Back at day 1 for me. However, it has just prompted me to do so much research on the addiction and recovery, and I think I'm feeling more determined than I ever have. I refuse to get myself into more of a mess.

Feeling like a right failure right now, but onwards and upwards. Seeing people on here hit big milestones is a big inspiration.

Checking in now 31 Days GF

Happy to report day 37 for me.
Onward and upward x

Hello

I would like to join the challenege. I have gambled for over 30 years. Lost 100's of thousands. The love I lost hurts more than money.

Slots, started arcades and then online. I gambled to escape. I also have PTSD not gambling related.

Finances are no longer under my control. Have burned any routes I found to obtain money and trust me

I found way too many.

I am currently gamble free and have never ever made more than a month.

I have no idea how many days I am gf as my memory recall atm is as bad as this wretched addiction.

So i will count this as week 1.

I will be honest and post every week. Also here to provide support wherever I can..

I thinks thats enough info as I could do a gwyneth paltrow ..... will save you all from that one 🙂

Hi everyone I was wondering if I could join in on this challenge. Just signed upto the site. Had a problem for just over a year now.. I managed to suppress it for a while there but back at it again today and yesterday.feel absolutely devastated. I don't know if I can get rid of this disease. Starting counselling on Tuesday I hope that helps. I need to do this for my family and for myself definitely this time..

Checking in for the week on day 368.

Deano thanks for your post on my diary mate and thanks to you and Oldham for running this challenge this year.
