*** THE FIRST EVER GURU CHALLENGE ROLLCALL! ***

And here we go ... we're on our way with the first ever rollcall! (Want to join us? Drop us a post!)

Athena and I welcome 11 intrepid souls (including ourselves), all ready to become the GURUs of the future. We start with 8 NEWBIEs, 2 STRIVERs and 1 ELDER - Degenerate, trailblazing the way for the rest of us. Rubybaby is not far off being a STRIVER - a status that really means business. Talking of whom, we have 2 STRIVERS, Sars27 and ItMattersMoreWhenTheresNoMoneyOnIt (did I spell that right 🙂 ) both on 81 days a-piece.

LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN !!!!!

Hi, currently on day 5 looking for a challenge to remain gamble free. Would like to be included please.

Hi amt722 - you're in! You'll be part of the next rollcall. Welcome aboard 🙂

Seeing as I am over 500 days I would be classed as a guru accordingly to your scale. I am far from such a title.

I can tell you now that I do not have the best life and it's nothing to do with how many days I have been gamble free or not .

I have no advice or indeed any insight to how you can reach my prestigious level. I'm sure everything will be better than it was because you haven't gambled for 300 days and can now proclaim yourself a guru.

Good luck everyone!!

Hi robf,

As the saying goes: "Upon us all, A little rain must fall."

I have to say, to be honest, your post did feel like a little Robf-shaped raincloud just passed overhead, stopped at this thread, and dumped a month's worth of rain!

Fortunately, I've been blessed with a rather large brolly 🙂

I'm sorry that you feel that the Guru description (a rhetorical device) didn't fit you. Hey - it's not compulsory 🙂 I wrote those descriptions in context of comparing gambling to non-gambling. The contrast couldn't be greater in my opinion: gambling, especially the way we gamble, leads to comparative disaster and refraining, going GF, leads to comparative happiness.

Ah, but I think you're talking about life; that's a different matter. Life will throw at us what life does. Nothing we can do about that, unless it's in our control and we decide to make things better - or worse.

So, don't worry that the terminology doesn't suit you, Robf. I wish you well, and thank you for your post.

And hope you get a little sunshine coming your way!

Let's make it a challenge that we ALL make it to Guru status. Let's carry each other over the finishing line.

But for now I'm looking forward to achieving Striver status.

Feeling so much more positive than this time last week.

That's exactly the spirit that'll get you to the next level Moorey. With you all the way mate.

Sign me up for the fellowship 🙂
