Thanks K2 for stepping up and doing the days count. Let me know if you need a hand. I ran a challenge on here for a few months once before and I’ll do what it needs if you need anything.
Checking in on day 19
Checking in, day 22. Longest i've gone so far and I feel old aspects of myself coming back.
Well done Lando - keep working at it.
Checking in 28 days.
Will update table later when hopefully a few more have checked in.
Well done guys.
Checking in 22 days
How k2,
I know it’s late but could I join the challenge, day 1 today unfortunately but really need to get to Christmas gamble free
Thanks James
you're more than welcome James.
Keep working at it.
First few days are the hardest, but take every day a day at a time.
Checking in day 25
Checking in, day 29. I made it past payday which I was really scared of. I've felt a bit miserable this weekend to be honest, I'm not sure why. I think now I've gone a month without gambling for the first time since I've been an addict, it's time I started doing more productive things, whilst I'm not at work. This week I wanna get back in the gym, not just sat around in my flat on my own playing overwatch!
Love to see Anon0000 , gamblerjames, franco1966, adam123, Oscar 1977 check in
Nice one guys, days ticking up.
Hi K2
Day 7 today and still not gambled, the real test will be next week when I have the money to, but got to stay strong
HI James,
Well done on a week.
I see in the past you are a fiend for online casinos.
Why not self exclude with gamstop - it's hugely liberating when you have done so.
Then exlcude yourself with high street bookmakers.
And if you can't give a loved one control of your finances, just take enough cash out with you each day and avoid taking debit cards / credit cards with you.
Just avoids temptation and makes things a little easier
Hi K2
I subscribed to gamstop earlier this year and was the best thing I did! Finances are largely being managed in a joint account so now have access to very small amounts of money just to get by so I’m hopeful that this time I can go the distance.
Thanks for the advice and support
James
Checking in, day 36.
