Hey all,
Nice to see many names lined up for another week of freedom! Keep them coming ☺
Well done to all. Congratulations on continued gamble free
Checking in.
Hi guys sad to report that i slipped up on Thursday. Placed a 20 pound bet on the football. Wasn't that bothered about it more annoyed that I had wasted 20 pounds. Down in England with the Mrs just now I'll talk more about it when I get back.
Hi Sandra, sorry for late check in again!! 75 days gamble free and off on holiday tomorrow to go and see my daughter, am so excited I am like a kid at Christmas!! Have also stopped smoking, started on the 1st of October so just over a week, I am using an electronic one to help me though!! Have a good week everyone xxx
Hi Liaison,
Don't worry about late check ins, you are here and now and that matters the most ☺ WTG on your upcoming holiday! Well chuffed for you dear soldier..please let me know if you want me to check you in next week incase you will b late coming bk to the country. If not - no worries - can do so late in the week..either way - have an amazing time with your daughter, journies like that are important, esp for our hearts and souls..have a lovely time ☺
Hi Jamie,
Not to worry about the slip. That's exactly what it is. It does happen. All you gotta do is learn from it and put any practical barriers in place to avoid future reaccurances. Addiction become alive in you, but you are in control from stopping it from escalating..please believe me, looking after yourself now is really important. Please stay safe and close by the site,like minded people in this journey..it's a slip, it's not a disaster ok...i believe in you, i need you to believe in yourself ☺
Good to see few more soldiers checking in and looking forward for more names touching the base.
Take care all. Look after yourselves.

Hello all,
Well well well, we are closing to that finish line on this thread and only two more check ins to go! Such a journey so far and am so so proud of all of you dear soldiers! Would be absolutely awesome to see you all checking in next Friday with the final words of "I will not gamble today", but not jumping in front of events let's concentrate on today and of course get a full house tommorow ☺ i guess i will never lose that belief 😉
Thank you so much for your participation in this thread, honesty, determination and positivity you shared. I might not been on the ball last few weeks with the updates and so..i went on discovery journey myself but all of you checking in and making yourself sound brought more strength for me to carry on!
God..it sounds like last post from me lol...noooo...just expressing my pride and joy bein part of this group!
This addiction will never close the door on our lives, but...as i read somewhere today - "recovery is life , LIVE it!"..so true words, let's take bk what we so willingly gave away while in a grip of this addiction. It is ours and it is free! ☺
Well, my ramblings over, have a lovely Thursday everyone, please touch the base tommorow and keep moving forward with your lives free from this disease, we all can do it!
