Hi guys
Thanks for the messages and you are correct, it will be a big test . My Achilles heal was the bookies and the casino’s, I have had to write a letter to the casino to let me back in as I banned myself last Xmas for 6 months.
I have to tell you I am a little apprehensive as it’s an event I can’t get out of, liquid refreshments will be flowing and we normally get free chips to play. However, life is full of tests I need to tackle this with 100% commitment.

82 days your on now.. That night you can always log on here and someone if not me as if I can I will log in.
Keep you focused. Give your chips away. Can you even go to the party if they still have you banned?
2am I best get to sleep. So much to do!
I have to pack myself now after I decided to cancel the packers. Two hours work they'd get £350 no chance if it takes me day before removal to pack up I will save that money towards tiles for a new bathroom!
So.. Did you spend your £1 jar or you still saving?
I would be more than a little apprehensive. Your further on than me, record Allen Carr favourite sayings and play them back to yourself if it in-nerves you!
Goodnight trooper!

Hi guys
Unfortunately Bella it’s an event I have to go to as I have bailed out in the past and it was noticed. I will however try to be watchful the whole evening and keeping my wits about me.
All the best for the weekend.

Hi all
It’s cold, dreary and rainy outside but on the inside I feel great, love not gambling.

Brilliant yayyy!
Weather is so cold! I've been packing for two days I got a week before I move and this packing is never ending. Donating 10 bags of clothes and bedding. And half my furniture. Hadn't even noticed the weather tbh.
It's a fabulous feeling having no urge to gamble. I will take up crocheting once I moved.
Day 41.. Nearly 42.
Have you worked out a plan for next weekend?
Bella xx
Happy 82nd.. That's brilliant.
Your 40 days Infront of me.. Have a fun and lovely Sunday xx
Yes, happy 82nd!! The pound pot is certainly mounting up 🙂 any idea what you’ll spend it on? Good luck everyone for another GF weekend - day 29 for me! xxx

Hi all
Let’s start the week with with a positive attitude, NO GAMBLING FOR US ANYMORE.
Shaun
Thought of the day, whatever that has gone on bad as a result of gambling, draw a line under it and forget the past. Only live in the moment and that is, WE ARE NO LONGER GAMBLERS.
I like that last post. It’s helped me in the past. If I don’t draw that line then I’m always thinking about recouping losses. I hope I can stand by you and we can get through this.
How do you quote and then write underneath???? Driving me mad not to know how 🙁
Hi guys
Middle of the week and we are striving forward with this no gambling lark and it is a lark. I mean you wants to participate in an activity where we ultimately lose money and feel like zombies for days.
Stay strong.
Shaun
88 days, two fat men.
Just thinking about my strategy for this Saturday, I have a plan but when ‘liquid refreshment’ are flowing then it’s harder to stick to schedule, I will however prevail.

Affected by gambling?
