New Year's Day challenge!!!

Easy enough to pull the wool over the eyes of others but the addiction always wins when you pull the wool over your own eyes.

Profound but true CW 🙁

Thanks UC well done on your total so far keep it going 🙂

Checking in Day 30

Enjoy the weekend

Morning Change,

We go back a long way mate so I know you will take this post with the good intention it is meant.

When I don’t see a post for a while it concerns me. The pattern of a bet followed by reading and posting on the forum nearly daily and then just sporadic posts has proven not to work for you. I know you have previously said you have a lot on at the moment but you need to find time for the addiction I know we will find time for gambling if we don’t give the addiction the respect we have to.

Hopefully this is the kick that you need your at the 2 month stage again time to be vigilante I don’t know how many more recoveries you have left in you.

One week done,next target 30 days 🙂

Hope all is well guys. nb doing well again with a new sense of optimism, Uncertain Outcomes and New Day both staying gamble free also well done! Even Oldham dropping by to check on the author of the thread Change. If you're out there buddy I hope you're doing well but if not there's no shame in coming back on here for support for whatever it may be, either gambling or otherwise.

Checking in still early days but gf enjoy your weekend guys! Change hope your ok mate I'm sure it's just cos of a hectic lifestyle and if it isn't then like Sam says come back for some moral support 🙂

100 days till the new year! Firstly apologies for my lack of posts. I'm doing well. I just needed to stay away from gambling thoughts and the forum is about gambling... stopping gambling... but still gambling. I'm doing well and I hope you are too! 100 days everyone!

No worries at all Change I understand where your coming from glad to hear your doing well. I'm still gf as well 🙂

Hi all... good to see you're still doing well new beginnings and uncertain outcomes! Keep going! Have a good weekend.

Cheers mate still here still winning everyday! All the best enjoy your weekend

Had tough day... been arguing with the wife so had a few bad urges and felt the need to come on here again. Hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Thanks Uncertain Outcomes - got to keep moving forward through the mire. Life is sometimes very difficult. Avoiding gambling is essential.

Eluded to the fact I'd had a tough weekend in previous posts. Just arguments with the mrs over nothing and boil over to me scratching to have a bet and getting into the spot where I want to be alone and once I'm alone and up to my own devices I could have easily gone back to the gamble. I needed to refocus last night and just came on here and started reading some posts and that's flowed through into today so I might keep hanging around for a bit longer.

Generally things have been on the up for me. Just takes sooooo long. I'm ticking along fine but I'd love to be 6 months down the line with another 180 days under my belt. It doesn't happen like that though... anything that is worth something takes a long take to achieve.

Still get the days of despair when my mind is filled with regret and remorse. It's not constant. It tends to just appear from nowhere whilst I've driving my car or walking down the street. Ruins my mind for a moment but then snap out of it fairly quickly. It used to burden me for a lot longer and I could ruminate for a whole lunch hour or a whole commute. I flip back to a thought that if I can imagine i'd landed on earth from space and was in the situation I'm in with no back story then I would be able to progress much easier. I can't cling to the past as it hinders me.

I went on chat tonight but struggled to converse. Just listened for a change and found that was as helpful.

Got bills on my mind but like LunchMoney Lewis says...
