hi peeps need some positive advice been invited to another bbq this Saturday by an old poker friend, same house as one where I gambled last time thirty odd days ago. Before that day I was 119 days gamble free. Tough call as I knowi want to go socially. Ive got five days off work for my birthday starting Saturday going to watch some films in cinema and watch champ league final. Hopefully I can stay strong and not go to bbq but its another tough decision where my mind is differing to the correct thing to do.​
Hiya Mixer, I managed to register with GamStop the other day whoop whoop !! Took a few attempts, but all is done now x
Thank you Mixer, only thing I can do now is move forward not back, that's the only way I am going to move on and I intend to keep on trying to 🙂
feeling like you are not alone in this fight was a massive comfort to me and I love this forum for being that comfort blanket and it still is while I fight on. Together we can do anthing 🙂
Hey warda1979, that was a good year to be born 🙂 Embrace that feeling of not seeing deposit after deposit, it is a beautiful thing. Means you are seeing more each day how your life can be, hopefully will be for the rest of your life, make the most of every single day you are GF because it is so much more lovely than being in that horrible dark gambling cloud x
Thank you Mixer for all your help and encouragement. The work and effort you put into the forum is wonderful.
I am taking a break from the diaries to gather my thoughts, clear my head and sort out a few issues.
My friend is holding my card so I can't get money to gamble. Reading the diaries reminds me of what a fool I have been and I just feel like giving it a rest for a while.
Wishing yourself and all the Guru Challengers a successful and happy gamble free life ...stephen
Mixer, you did such a great job with last year's challenge. On the back of last year's challenge I went 220 days plus gamble free before freaking out and falling off the wagon on my face and I owe you a debt of gratitute for I have the believe that I will do better this time around.
Best wishes,
Markman, checking in 2 days gamble free.
Hi Mixer
Please can I re-join the challenge. I've had trouble lately going back and forth and staying off the gambling. I really want to do it and I've used up all my spare cash and know this time I have to quit as it's getting ridiculous. I know I can do it, this is my final FRESH START.

Checking in day 6 for me xx
Checking in day 20. Positive thoughts and happy vibes with minimal urges. Wishing everybody a wonderful and gf rest of the weekend!
Checking in instead of out. 🙂
Checking in for the new week on day five. Keeping busy and restricted finances are going to help me this week. Really not impressed with how I’ve handled my finances recently. It’s left me short for this month and no reserves to fall back on. Definitely no money to spare to gamble now.
Afternoon everyone. Am on holiday at the moment, in Butlins with my young son. Hope you’re all enjoying the sunny BH (rather than the miserable BS of gambling!)
I’ll have a mini-catchup tomorrow.
Mixer
Aw I remember those days at butlins when my boys were young, best ever. No idea where the time goes apart from, way too fast! Before you know it they are passing their driving test, got a girlfriend and threatening you with being a grand parent soon oh my goodness lol Enjoy those precious moments 🙂 x
