In 1hours time give or take a minute or two id have been gamble free for 2 weeks!
I just had to let people know as I'm proud of myself and great full for all the advice and help everyone on the forums have given too me. I have a long way to go and I'm sure it will be a bumpy ride but I'm ever so happy I have managed to achieve this!
The ideas of gambling have been with me but I've managed to resist the urge, gamban is installed on my device and I've self excluded from all the bookmakers in my area which has been a huge help. I feel really strong I can get to a month without the thought of the roulette wheel and I'm going to prove to myself and others it is possible if I put my mind to it!
Over the last two weeks I've managed to talk to all of my creditors and will be debt free by October 2019 which I'm extravagant about as I owe nearly 9k!
Onwards and upwards for me.
Thanks Ricky
Well done mate on your progress. 2 weeks gamble free is good going. Thoughts will come and go, that’s inevitable. But it’s how we act on those thoughts that count. Great news about being debt free by this time next year.
Well done. Yes, there may well be future spanners in the works but you sound well prepared and equipped to deal with any that should arise. You can be proud!
massive respect for self excluding with high street bookies.
