[Closed] 2019 Challenge

I was part of the original challenge when mr brightside started it, triangle great to see you are smashing it. (Dif username this time)

i however managed a 3.5 year stint away from gambling but have succumbed to the temptation. I last gambled on Sunday past and have racked up some CC debt due to my actions over the past 8 months..... alcohol gambling binges in bookie shops has always been my vice, I have never gambled online in any form.

I went back to GA tonight and feel that being part of this challenge helped me before so I would like to be considered for inclusion once again.

Checking in day 379. I’m struggling a bit this week tbh, I’ve got a burning desire to play poker, if I wasn’t self excluded I’d have probably gone this weekend.

I go on holiday this week and will be away until 23rd August so won't be doing an update on the 12th or the 19th.

If anyone wants to do an update on either of those dates please do.

Otherwise I will update on Monday 26th August.

Stay strong everyone, do it one day at a time and no matter how many days under your belt, keep one eye out for the dreaded complacency.
