Many thanks - yeah not something I'd thought about for a while but because I was posting to my counsellor gambling was at the forefront of my mind again. It really is horrendous to look back and think of the trauma we live through as compulsive gamblers, all because we fail to face into our addictions.

I really do hope I never go back to any of it.

thanks again and best wishes

Good morning and thank you ☺ i was posting at the same time as you did!

Today is a big day and I will do my best to keep the clear head on.

I will not gamble today but I am aware it's only 0644 and I have some hours spare late evening. However I will try and make the right choice!

You're doing brilliantly yourself! Keep up good work.

DAY 315 today my friend, really proud of you, such a great achievement and you are doing it, creeping closer to a full year, something I have achieved only twice in my life.

Many thanks for the messages - very pleased to confirm the strength is still there - 324 days now.

I don't mean to be smug at all but I really wish I had made these choices years ago, my underlying stress levels have already dropped and I do have headroom to think about other, more pleasant things

345 days of total abstinence

Lots of legacy remains and many challenges ahead but despite it physically snowing right now the sun is shining brighter today than yesterday

Thanks Adam123 - 358 days now. Baby steps. Approx 8395 days spent gambling. The break even point has some way to go

Day 364 and I just had a random, fleeting thought about logging into an old casino account to see if I had free credits. I won't but I'm stressed and it came from remembering that self excluding again on that account still needs doing - because they make it so difficult- anyway home alone so no chance I'll do that now, will wait for someone to be around. Very draining though to still have these thoughts.
