MONTH 20 - PAYDAY UPDATE
Still gamble free and benefitting greatly from it. Meeting all my mini and long term goals still (easy to achieve when not gambling)!!
Still think of gambling from time to time but more to do with the negatives of it, rather than wanting to try to win some money. Good old hard work, saving for what I want/need, using old fashioned methods, what my 86 year old mum taught me, are now the way forward!! All working well for me so far.
Take care all and look after yourselves.

Hey Feb,
Lovely post to read and more than happy for you. Setting goals for ourselves and accomplishing them is wonderful feeling and you should b so proud of what you have achieved so far. Keep it up and stay on the bright side of the road. Sun will always shine there 🙂

MONTH 21. PAYDAY UPDATE.
Still remaining gamble free and still reaping the rewards. Sticking to my mini goals still.
It's so lovely to find myself with money in my purse and my bank account from one month to the next. It makes me often think back to the worst of times when I would have nothing for practically the whole of the month and, no bills paid either!!
I have lots of Birthdays coming up in October, I have now got 3 more great nieces/nephew and it's been so much less stressful, knowing I can again, go out and buy gifts for each of them. Just like old times.
Just read a post from my friend Stu, saying he had reached 'rock bottom' and is in a bad place. It took me back to 18th Jan 2013, when I had realised the same about myself. It feels like the worst time ever but there is always a way of making your life better once we have reached the decision that 'enough' really is enough!
I wish Stu and other people on here at the same stage the very best and you are all in my prayers.
Take care all..

MONTH 22. PAY DAY UPDATE.
Things ticking along nice and comfortably. Had all my family round for Sunday Roast a couple of weekends ago. It was so nice to be back to old times - entertaining and feeding everyone up!!
There are so many lovely things coming back into my life again now I have stopped gambling - bills are all being paid, plenty of food and drink in my fridge, retail therapy when I fancy it, out and about with my family and friends again. Just insured my car again for the next year and paid upfront!!
I continue to remain focused on my mini and long-term goals, which I am sticking to. They really help me in my recovery. I have already bought 10 Christmas presents - and, wrapped them up!!! When I think back to this time three years ago, things were so, so different.
Oddly, this evening, I received a text message from a casino company, informing me I had a 500% bonus!! - oh yeah, really!!! Read it and deleted it straight away. Can't even remember what it said as I didn't give it any attention really.
I wish all my friends on here well, those who are doing great and in particular, those who are struggling - you are all in my nightly prayers.
Take care all. Remain strong and keep your chin up.
