Hi Mutton
Hows the training going by the way? Are you loosing weight?
7 days done, again! Feeling positive at the minute.
Just about to start serious training as soon as the kids go back to school, so enjoying myself for the time being.
Stay strong

Hi all,
Back again. This time nearly 1 month clean. Have once again had my ups and downs since the last post.
Heres to the future,
Russ
Hi all,
Back again. No real change since last logging on. I go weeks and weeks without gambling and then back to my old ways again.
Have to admit I am really getting sick of this now. I will once again attempt to check in once a day on here and continue the fight.
Feel terrible tonight!
This time please,
Russ
Day 1(again)
Going to keep busy today and think positive thoughts. Have set up a savings jar which I will put £10 a day into and hopefully spend it on something nice for the family if I can get to 100 days, that is the initial aim.
Stay strong
Russ
Day 2
Keeping as busy as posssible and will try to find something to replace the buzz/urges associated with gambling
£10 in the pot
Stay strong
Russ
Hi russ
Setting up a savings jar is all very well but are you doing anything else, differently, to break the 30 year habit?

Day 3
Feeling good so far.
Louis, thanks for asking.I have got blocks on my laptop, my daughters laptop, my phone and have set the router to exclude gambling sites.
£10 in the pot
Stay strong,
Russ

1 week in
Good feeling and no urges at all so far. All blocks in place, so am not sure how I would gamble if I wanted to, which takes a lot of the stress away.
Stay strong
Russ
Day 8
Still going strong and am determined to sign in to this diary everyday for the 1st 100 days at least. The last time I became over confident and didn't sign in, and returned to gambling. This will not happen again!
£80 in the pot
Stay strong
Russ
Days 9 &10
No problems for now. Was away yesterday so couldn't sign in.
Absolutely broke atm so couldn't gamble if I wanted to. I'm sure there are more trying times ahead, but hopefully I'm capable of defeating them this time.
Stay strong
Russ
Day 11
I have been reading a discussion on another diary regarding people posting the same thoughts over and over, only to return to their same old routine. I then re read my own diary and realised how lame it looks to keep going 10/20/30 days and then disappear for 3 months, only to return and then expect everyone to believe that this time will be different.
As far as I'm aware, I have every block in place to prevent online gambling(which is my only problem), and will keep reading my diary at regular intervals to remind me of previous failures.
For now all is well
Stay strong
Russ
