Stick with it, the year is a stressful time. You've done well.
Many thanks MGR, so scary how these thoughts come from nowhete. Anyway I have treated myself to the masters on tv, a bit sad but I enjoy it and can work and watch, my treat for reaching one year. Next target is 500 days - then it will be 501!
Congratulations on 1 year gamble free.
Recovering compulsive gamblers like yourself are an inspiration.
Wishing you well...stephen
Thanks stephen, not sure I feel like an inspiration, still feels way too early but if me getting to one year does help anyone else to a small degree then I'm a happy man
Welcome to the 3% club CG 🙂
Next stop, a well deserved 366 🙂
And remember, thoughts may be draining but acting on them is drowning!
Keep swimming - ODAAT
Thanks ODAAT - very true as well!
Well done on 1 year CG, its not over of course but you know its been a much better year than it could have been.
All the best.
Thank you sjw - totally agree with both your points there!
Just for today, I choose to not gambke
Watching the golf, probably one thing I used to 'enjoy' gambling on.
Actually, sitting here now, just over a year gamble free, no, I didn't enjoy gambling in this, just watching, admiring and contemplating, teasing myself that I could play at Augusta, of course I never could - however if I refrain from gambling, I could, could actually be able to go and watch it one day.

The glimmers of normality are in the horizon. Everyday I face this b*****d addiction in the eyes and say thanks but not today.
386 days of not breaking.
Wow CG what a hard read that was at times.
I've been here a while now but just pop in and out these days....I like you spend more time reading the f & f section because, as you said, it continues to show me the harsh realities that come with gambling.
Your story is so similar to mine, it really hit a nerve.
Congrats on reaching 386 days...a fantastic achievement.
