2017 Challenge

Good luck everyone hope 2017 is a great year for you all - wcid

Checking in on day one of the challenge, been out for a family meal today and all in its now 8 days without a bet. Had a good read through all the posts on here and I no longer feel so alone. Hope we can make it through the year and make 2017 much brighter for us all.

Checking in for the start of the challenge 🙂

23 days since my last bet 🙂

So glad to be part of this challenge from Day 1 ...I can now say I have not gambled this year...My aim is to be posting the same on 31st Dec 🙂

I joined this site 23 days ago in total despair, the support I've received has been life changing, just for today I am choosing not to gamble, just for today I am choosing Life!

Good evening guys

Can i join the challenge? Currently 2 days GF managed to do just over 100 last year but had a relapse in December and lost a fair chunk of money. Looking to kick this terrible addiction and a new year resolution sounds a good idea.

Thanks Dmr

Final check-in for next update will be midnight 8th of January

All the best if any of the information is wrong please let me know. And I'll do my best to update it.

Cheers Deano looks like I got lucky (that makes a change) in avoiding the first update with so many checking in

Great to see so many checking in i look forward to doing the update next and trying to find the copyright key that Deano so kindly used.

Great to see plenty of people wanting to start the new year with a new approach. Thank you Deano for the hard work, and hope we all can check off another benchmark come next week!

Checking in for the week at 97 days gf, happy new year to all x

Cheers Deano.

Congrats to everyone checking in; hope to see a higher total next week.

Congrats to everyone checking in; hope to see a higher total next week.

Sorry I'm late guys, can I join the party?

I've added you to the list Kylie. Welcome x

Hello boys and gals,

Awesome to see so many of you joining the challenge!

I read the entry and originally thought i fit the frame..however i lost quite a bit of sleep yesterday considering if I'm actually a fraud on here. Why i say this, - i did have a occasional scratchcard in my time away from slots. I know opinions differ on the subject and we all class "no gambling" in different terms knowing what actually hooking us on.

I wanted your opinion all. If this thread is strictly Zero tolerance, i would like to be removed.
I could stay on and reset my counter to 10 days or so, however i view recovery slightly differently and fighting the battle which consumed me completely and took my life away from me...of course I'm not saying i won't end up at the counter scratching the layers like zombie...anything can happen and addictions escalate as we all know. I am still learning why this kind of "normality" is drawing me to try luck..still..i don't know, i have a long way to go to understand it all better.

I am only honest and fully understand what is required for complete abstinence.
Your word is the last ☺

Thank you

Hi hopeful soul.
Recovery is how you see it.
And I would be happy for you stay as you are. As is stated there is no singular rule on the challenge apart from checking in weekly.
I'm happy to keep your day's as they are. I hope that helps
Deano
