Hi DP,
The journey has begun and am really happy to see you going strong. More than proud of you my friend, break the cycle and keep making a progress, even if it's slow i am 100% sure new door will open and lovely views on the other side will never stop beckoning you to join and reap the benefits you so deserve. Life is for living, make the most of it.
ps. How is that song writing going? You have a talent, keep believing in yourself.
Take care,

Thanks Cannae and Sandra
Day 8 arrives with no struggle, so onwards and upwards. I love Duncan's quote, i have made a choice and i caanot stop winning ! gambling must not have any part of my life anymore, it has taken the lion share of it already.

Friday and just into day 10, it has been a good start ! i am starting to be in a very good place mentally even it takes 4 months to be in any semblance of normality financially. I have created this now i will sort it out, i made the choice and i am winning every day. Dark Place x

Morning diary and pleased to report 11 days clocked up. Just checked my bank account and i have effectively 84.00 free cash until october 15th, terrrible situation notwithstanding i actually am in a far better mental state ! it will be a terrible struggle but i start to see some light at the end of the tunnel. ironic really that i had to be in such a financial meltdown before i could feel better emotionaly after stopping punting. Things will only get better and because i made that choice to stop punting i will be and certainly am winning every day !
Have a fantastic weekend all, Dark Place
Day 12 arrives with no hiccups, i was not even bothered i was tipped a 10/1 & 4/1 winner yesterday, of course they duly won but i did not care, why ? because winning would be temporary and ultimately losing would remain the constant ! you can choose how you feel and i wake up every morning now, with an ever growing strength a strength that starts to gift my life purpose and goals to achieve, especially financially of course. I want to buy my 2 older children iphone 5s's for xmas so the target is clear ! this in itself is giving me extra resolve. I know that gambling will always be lurking around the corner, to realise that is an achievment because to think you have got rid of it is a fools paradise.
Shocking performance from West Ham yesterday, kind of expect it now but still.... come on BFS sort it out.
Have a great Sunday all, i made that choice to stop punting and i am now winning every day. Dark Place

Fella reading that post was like watching a penny drop from the sky and slot straight in your head.
My friend set those targets whatever they are,make the decision to look at the bigger picture,because you are bang on,any win will only be a very temporary thing,we will be compelled to carry on punting until there is nothing left,that in a nutshell is what we do.
Lol if there was an award for it,we could all be world champions!!
The doing his bo##llo##cks award goes to....
Not you ant more fella
Enjoy the winning,keep abstaining and it will not stop,recovery is the gift that never stops giving.
Abstain and maintain
Duncs stepping forward never back
Lucky 13 days chalked up and moving through the gears ! busy day ahead moving offices so no time to even think about gambling !
As before, becoming easier to abstain ! must now let my guard down however, no chance for the demons to take over my mind once more. My family are staring to get the husband/dad back ! Dark Place
16 days now clear of gambling and returning to a peaceful state of mind. Why o why can it be so difficult to get here, i am not stupid so what is it in my head that pushes me to that dark place ???? no more no more anymore.....i want to live and be normal not in the grip of this illness. Enjoy the day all, Dark Place
Hi DP
Very well done on 16 days keep going
