So 1 week clear today, little acorns but feeling a heck of a lot better ! i just have to keep my guard up, Dark Place

Awwww DP, thank you for your kind words once again. I get all the strength and belief from all of you dear soldiers. You all been here for me every minute of the day in my journey and I will be forever greatful. 🙂

One week is great achievement and you should be proud. I am proud of you my friend and always be by your side...shoulder to shoulder dear fighter, never give up this fight.

ps. Can't wait to see you changing your name to something lighter one day lol...maybe "light in my life" or similar lol..no pressure 😉

Take a good care of yourself, you are moving away from the dark place with each day you abstain. Well done and keep it up!!

Day 8 and strongest i have been for a long time, no desire to even consider looking at form or gambling. Looking forward to the weekend without all the stress of betting !

Have a great day all, Dark Place

Fella it is great to read your resolve to eliminate the destruction from your life.

For us abstinence is a choice for life.

I too hope your weekend is one filled with happiness, not the false promise of a better life through the futile act of gambling.

Keep making the right choice,life will improve without the punt in it.

Abstain and maintain

Duncs stepping forward never back

Good morning diary, another day arrives making number 9 since i have made that conscious decision to never gamble again, enough has been enough.

Great day out lined up, meeting my mates for beers and darts from 2.30 then 5.30 my beloved west ham take on the manure i mean man utd ;-/

Have a fantastic weekend all, today i am a better person for not gambling. Dark Place /

Hey my friend and fellow fighter.... I am alright.... just so very busy. I do get a few days off in another week so I will get caught up with everyone eventually. Until then, keep up the fight! Thanks for thinking of me.

For your info Bear, i was not looking, i just found myself by a bookies that i am not self excluded from. I have had a lot of expense these last 7 days and the thought did occur to me " Quick fix " luckily i walked away.

So another day arrives no 12, busy in manchester on business for two days. So no chance of thinking about gambling. Dark Place

Your too touchy dark place take a chill pill

Good night in Manchester, those man u fanc cut a sorry picture in the bars :-/ i almost started to feel sorry for them ! City outclassed them, whcih only goes to prove how pathetic West Ham was on Saturday ! hmmm lovely curry in Bollywood restaurant after 8 san miguels, what could be better ! i did not even think of betting.

Have a great day everyone, Dark Place
