A new journey begins.

,Hi Gregg,

No worries, flagging my post as abusive lol.

Have a good gambling free evening.

Onto day 18 we go. Was working today and all people wanted to talk to me about how great a price Rangers are tonight. Have not got involved and looked at odds over last couple of weeks and this threw me today. I am a big Rangers fan and beleive they will win tonight so had bad thoughts running through my head on how to make a quick couple of hundred.Thankfully i have managed to make it home without stopping at bookies and have now got all they gambling thoughts out my head. Hopefully enjoy a Rangers win tonight without the worry of gambling.

Woke up on day 19 of my gambling free life feeling great. A saturday used to consist of rushing out to get papers then spending the next couple of hours looking at odds and fancies. Would then head to bookies to put these on and nine times out of 10 would have lost my money on roulette before even putting coupons on. I am then faced with 3 options 1 going and get more money to put footy bets on incase they win and even if they did i would be lucky to break even 2 go and get more money and chase the losss on the roulette or 3 go up the road and sulk and take it out on everyone else. Lucky for me i have found a fourth option which is dont gamble at all. Choosing this option costs no money wastes no time and makes you feel good about yourself. Why the fxxk has it took me 30 years to discover this?

Day 20 a nice round number and nearly at my second target which was 21 days. Just been out for a brisk walk and now going to prepare and cook the Sunday Roast and settle down to watch Man City v Arsenal. Should be a good game. Life is so much more enjoyable without gambling.

Hi Gregg,

20 days, well done.

Hi Gregg

Quick post before the second half kicks off. Well done on nearly three weeks gamble free. Feels really good doesn't it, it is important to remember them bad times while gambling to see why you've chosen this better life without it.

Onwards and upwards

3 weeks today and second target reached. New target will be 42 days which will be 6 weeks gambling free. Woke up this morning feeling great but joy shortlived as i have a vomiting 9 year old to deal with. Going have to get my parents to watch her for a couple of hours as i need to go into work. Oh well at least my problems now are normal and not gambling related where no one could help me.

Day 22 and still going strong. Not much else to add so happy times

Woke up this morning after having a horrible dream that i had fell off the wagon and gambled. Took me about 5 minutes after waking up to be absolutely sure it was only a dream. The only good thing about the dream was i suffered a big loss so not need to worry about the rest of day and the big What If question

Day 24. Once again feeling good. Keeping busy at work and then making plans for when i come home. Reading a lot more on here and novels to keep my mind active and also going to start a good boxset to keep me ticking over. Payday tomorrow and going to enjoy it without having a bet.

Hi Gregg, 24 days of winning, yes you deserve to feel good,

Stay strong on pay day and watch every box set you can lol, and you won't feel good, you will feel great.

Thanks guys for the support looking forward to my quarter century tomorrow. Yes Nt definetely. Was one of those dreams that when you wake up you are unsure if it is real or not and takes you a couple of minutes to get your bearings.

Well done on quarter of a century tomorrow - I am the same days as you and I got a lil bit excited when I read that! lol!
