Day 25
Bad day yesterday, not gambling wise but generally. I may have sought out gambling in the past as a distraction, who knows?
Getting towards the 1 month mark now and can honestly say that I have had hardly any thoughts of gambling, I think that this is a good sign.

Hey Russ,
Month is approaching quickly. You will be into month two before you know it.
Just finishing day three myself and can't wait to get to where you are.
Well done - keep up the good work.

Day 28
4 weeks complete! Good feeling, although difficult to feel proud after all the mess that this horrible affliction has left from the past.
JJT, thanks for reading and all the best for your own fight. Put the blocks in place and concentrate on the positives.
