Day 24 for me! I now show my bank account to my Mum every weekend to help me continue gamble free. It definitely helps x
good afternoon all, back from 2 weeks in the sun, bit jetlagged but still very much gamble free. Have received my bank statement, just 2 pages and not the usual 3 or 4 with all the gambling related deposits. Looking forward to next months as well. I will catch up on how everyone else is doing tomorrow. I am going to bed!
I've joined the 2017 challenge can I join the 100 day challenge please ? Day 28 GF Today for me.
"It's good to talk and take it one day at a time "

Spent most of today sorting out stuff to send to Stepchange, having it all in front of me reiterates just how much of a financial mess gambling has rewarded me.... the monthly payment shall serve as a reminder to stay GF...Forever!

*** MILESTONES REACHED ***
It's not easy being GF, it's hard work. But hard work has its rewards! Congratulations, fiddlesticks and Spud for your 50 days GF yesterday, and Rhoda hitting the big 50 today! A golden achievement for our wonderful, determined members!
Good evening everyone and thank you for your updates. And thank you, too, for your understanding that, due to work and personal commitments, I'm unable to update or attend the webchats as frequently as I would like. Rest assured I am still, like you, gloriously GF free! VERY much so!
We are all really in the groove now and ready for when payday strikes for those of us paid monthly. Are we going to waste our money this time round? NO WE ARE NOT.
If we are paying off debts, are we going to waste any money that's spare? NO, not this time.
This is the month when we spend our time, our cash, and enjoy peace of mind - just for once. 2017 is going to be OUR year, just for once!
It is a joy reading the great messages of support and understanding on our thread. We are all looking out for each other and relaxing in each others company, anonymously but intimately too. Let's enjoy being GF, one day at a time.
