Hi everyone!
Today is my 147th day GF. I'm not going to lie and say that it has been easy, but its getting a lot easier now. I've started my own company which is keeping my mind off of things and now the company is making a substantial sum of money, I've not been tempted to spend any of it gambling, which is a massive feat. I do still think of Fruit Machines, but there is no drive there to go and play them. I look through bookies windows / service stations and often watch them / see what new games there are, but never had the temptation to play them.

If I can do it, you all can!! Keep at it. Find a hobby to keep yourself occupied. Maybe even start a company if you are a crafter or something - it will keep your mind off things
Hi
147 gambling free days is some thing to feel good about in your self.
It is very healthy to not lie and say that it has been easy, that is honest of you.
That is a confidence builder starting your own company and working towards being succesful in your self.
It is a healthy good thing to not have been tempted to spend any of it gambling.
If you can give up having any thoughts from all unhealthy habits.
Yes if you and I can do it any one can.
Keep focused on healthy habits and keep busyÂ
In time we become self sufficient in every avenue of our life.
Love and peace to everyone
