I have been 100 percent gamble free now and attend GA every week as well as break even counselling and it is doing me wonders I am sorting my money out well with budget plans each month. I wont forget the journey i have been on to get where I am today but this time round I feel more positive and like I am getting somewhere in life i know I have a lot on me and I cant mess up again because it would jepordise everything :(. So going to stay strong and check in here wen i can.

100 days gamble free that's brilliant mate. Your flying along making the right choices just don't get complacent remember how well you were doing before and remember how and why you faltered, learn from those mistakes and make the right choices this time round. Great stuff mate keep it going. And if your on here over the weekend don't forget to check in. Have a great weekend - hopefully not another working one!

Hi.

Today is me and my wifes' One Year wedding Anniversary I am at work at the moment but we going out for a lovely meal tonight and a few cocktails it is nice to see gambling is not here to interfere with happy celebrations and I plan to keep it that way for many years also to keep my wife happy for many years too 🙂

Thanks for all the support everyone

116 days,

Hey Dave thanks for that post. Ye it has been a journey one I wont ever forget mate. Ye we had a lovely Anniversary. I am hoping to have a gamble free Anniversary next year 🙂 Will just keep doing what I am doing go to the GA meetings come on here and keep the gambling demon at bay.

I have found my motivation for fitness again but this time like gambling free I want it to be a live change not just a few months. So will work really hard to stay gamble free and keep going to the gym. I don't think about gambling anymore and i am focused.

Hope everyone has a good weekend will catch up with some people diaries on here while I am stuck at work this weekend 🙂

Ricky
