Checking in 3 weeks i think not counting days but maybe it's 23 not in a good place mood wise but hanging in there gf just fed up worrying about money all the time, will be in debt for rest of my life as 58 now and will take many years to clear debt , no job at the moment so pretty much a depressing situation to be in , after 30 years what do I expect its my own fault , in trying to do free things , volunteering , and gardening , just wish my mood would improve .........pink

Good morning everyone. I'll be posting a 'mini catchup' later this afternoon; responding to everyone who's posted here since my last midweek catchup (on Thursday, if I recall). I'll have a full Rollcall next Sunday.

One thing to say as you wake up on this sunny day: "Just for today, I will NOT gamble. I will enjoy my day because I've chosen not to gamble and the wonderful freedom to make that choice!"

Hey Pink

If you have not already then try Stepchange. They have helped me no end with my debts.

This is another payday weekend where all the bills are paid and the spare monies have been enjoyed not gambled away. I can’t gamble online now cos of Gamstop and I’m not giving myself the time to gamble offline cos I’m spending the lovely spare cash on time with my family.

Have a good un

I haven't been here for a while... Since I was last gone I had a death in the family which was a huge trigger as it was the best distraction possible. However, somehow I managed to get myself together and have got back on track. Now with GamStop and a new mobile version of Gamban - along with improving other parts of my life (given up smoking, working on losing weight, taking on more activities in the evening and weekends), I am 37 days gambling free.

Mixer - Can you add me back to the challenge with my new total. Thank you 🙂

Good evening all. I'm not feeling too well tonight so will delay my mini-catch-up till tomorrow. (Acute tiredness; seeing my doctor about blood test results midweek so all in hand 🙂 )

I've not touched alcohol for 10 days so onwards and upwards ...!

Take care everyone

Checking in on day 28 gambling free.

made it through pay day without gambling, loads of urges, but had a good weekend, spent a little bit of money on some new clothes and actually treated my girlfriend to lunch today.

still a long way to go, but today I didn’t gamble and I haven’t gambled for the past 27 days.
