Congrats on 100 and for finally seeing how life can be without gambling. We gamble to win big and live like rockstars. In reality we live like homeless people, eating cheap meals (if at all), and struggling for money. Now you've done 100 days you can see that all you really need is money to live. That's all we really want in life. To be comfortable. To have a fund to pay for expenses. To treat yourself if you feel like it.
Amazing to see you get to 100 days gf. Now lets get you to 200 and living the life you missed out on through gambling.
Congrats again, stay strong 👍
Thanks both for the nice comments :). Had a night out with friends on Saturday watching football, then ended up clubbing. (God I don't know why I agreed to that) My clubbing days are long behind me but every so often I think I am still 18 🤣 .
Day 104
I Actually spent part of day 100 telling some friends about what I had done (both the milestone and why I had done it) Whilst also warning a few people I thought were at risk of becoming addicted the path I went down and how I didn't want them to go the same way. Look at me being some sort of preacher aha.
I also did something that at the height of my addiction I never really did and haven't really since, which was looking back at my bank statements. 1 of my worse periods was around Jan/Feb 2022 so around 3 years ago. Looking back at my worst period of 2 weeks around then I added up my deposits and they was about 45,000 pounds. All deposited in 2 WEEKS! Crazy, that obviously didn't include any money I won but wow.
Anyway I am not that person anymore, onwards and upwards
Good luck everybody and the fight goes on 🙂
