Sorry to hear this Eden but as you say, time to look after “you” for the time being. Great that in the midst of your break up, you are storming ahead with your g.f days!👏👏👏.
Take care.

Day 186
Still GF, and not really felt like going back at all even with all the turmoil of life at the moment. That unfortunately is where the positives stop to be honest.
Been working out loads that I think I may have burned myself out and coming down with a cold.
Acting a bit on impulse in my personal life and making rash decisions, so I have decided now is the time to just go completely underground, I have deactivated any social media and will poke my head back up when I have a clearer mind.
Dark days ahead, and now is the time to focus on mental health.
If you want the rainbow you have to go through the rain
186 reasons to carry on.
The fight goes on and good luck everybody 🙂
Congrats on still being GF! This is great to hear!
We have all got this 🙂
Credit it to you Eden for staying strong whilst going through a difficult patch 👏👏👏👏. It sounds like a good idea to just concentrate on “you” and block out any distractions for a short period.
Hope you will feel better soon. 🙏
Take care.

DAY 200!!!!
Didn't realise I had left it so long again, been meaning to come on all week, and I thought I must be getting close to 200 days Slot gambling free, and as to my surprise it is today!
The first 100 days seemed to go fairly quick but the next 100 days went even quicker!
The urges are a lot lower these days, and most days non existent. At the start I never thought I could feel this way again.
Mentally I have been a bit better this week, each week brings new challenges but we move....
Booked a last minute holiday this week after things were cancelled due to break up etc. Off to a week in the sun in Gran Canaria start of June so thats something to look forward to 🙂
The fight goes on and good luck everyone 🙂
Hello edencredible,
Well done for all your hard work in reaching 200 days gambling-free! It is good to hear that it is getting better for your mental health and you are able to address each new challenge as they arise.
I hope you enjoy your holiday,
Louise

DAY 214
Didn't realise I had left it so long again lol
Nothing much to report feeling better in myself and staying fit, 10 days until holidays so really excited for that 🙂
Nearly June which is great but also scary how quick 2025 is already going.
Good luck everybody and the fight goes on 🙂
Day 233
Well left it a while since my last post again whoops...
First day back at work after being on holiday for the last week in Gran Canaria.... what a blast so many memories and laughter and met some great people.
Felt horrible to be back in England... as much as I love our country and its traditions and some of the people..... we are a miserable country aren't we? Anyway.....
It is also my birthday today.... another Year older, really don't know where the time has gone.
Either way still proud to be going strong and having little to no urges to gamble 🙂
The fight goes on and good luck everybody 🙂
Thats amazing mate i''m on day 702 and the fight still continues i treat each day as day 1 my saying "the beast can only be contained but never beaten" even the my life has changed in every aspect of my life and continue to get better slowly i cant take it for granted it took me just over 9 months to get to 0 and now i have some saving no financal worries i still get tested about my past due to health issues i wont be able to buy my own property and it something am going to have to live with
Thanks Both for the nice messages 🙂
DAY 254
Forgot to come on here whoops, but I think it also shows how far I have come... although I will always be an addict the urges are very very low, and as such I haven't even thought about needing to come on here.
I think I will make more of an effort though as it is nice to check in on others and help others
June was a bit of a crazy month... but mostly in a good way
The fight goes on and good luck everybody 🙂
DAY 267
Still going strong and started today with a plan to pay off the remainder of my debt, it is currently at about half of what I started with so good progress has been made and I am able to live a more than comfortable life with how much I pay, even if I could probably pay it off a lot quicker with higher payments.
After taking a look at it and making extra payments here and there I am looking at having it all paid off in 9 months in April 2026 2 months earlier than planned. So from May I can save a lot more than I am at the moment and start moving towards getting a nice car and moving out on my own 🙂
Urges are still very low which is great, still getting the spam emails/texts from companies but they don't bother me
The fight goes on and good luck everybody 🙂
