Hi ricky
Congratulation on 65 days. Your doing really well. I like that fact your not going to gamble out of love for your future wife. Gambling is a selfish act and it can hurt the people you are closest to. I'm going to jump aboard your ship and say I'm not going to gamble because I love my family and don't want to worry them again.
Keep going & keep posting

Good afternoon,
Well a married man now!! I see from your post you had a brilliant day and I would imagine all the better for having all those gamble free days under your belt. Really is good to see you making positive progress you have now come through the really tough days and can start married life safe in the knowledge you are doing extremely well. Providing you keep your barriers in place and don't get complacent I am very confident you will reach that 100 day target.
It will be thoroughly deserved my friend!

Morning,
So, this weekend is unique! A first weekend as a married man and free from gambling. I can guarantee you never had a win whilst gambling which could beat the feeling you have this weekend.
Enjoy it buddy very much deserved.

Day 78,
It has been a few days since I last updated my diary been busy with work and trying to catch up on sleep and follow some of the Olympics. Let's hope they can win at least one gold medal.

I hope everyone on here is staying strong and all the best on your road to recovery

Day 82,
I haven't been on for a few days because I have been doing some thinking and planning for my future outside of the army as a civilian as I found out earlier this week I will be a civilian again by Friday 7th September.
Means I have just under 5 weeks to sort out a lot of things for my transition from a soldier to a member of the public. I know it will go quickly. I look forward to change because it is good change I am now married and me and my wife just paid all our honeymoon of today. It isn't until January But will be a lifetime holiday on a Caribbean Cruise. I will be able to see my wife everyday and not gambling will be easier with my wife there to support me, I will also have more time and internet access all the time so i can come on here more to write on my diary as well as others who are just starting on their journey of being gamble free.
I welcome change with a positive attitude and have a look forward too. Being positive not gambling and changing the way I think will give me a chance to make my wife happy and a chance for us to start a family and give a good chance for our kids to have a good chance in life :).
Sorry for rambling on but I needed to get some things out in the open.
82 days gamble free now I am determined to stay gamble free.
Kind Regards
Ricky
