Morning diary, 19 days clear of the evil curse ! the need for money in my wallet or transferring into my betting account diminishes. Only time i think of money is when i need to buy something normal like food or a couple of beers with friends 😉 gambling is so evil, it is frankly a sin and 99% get probably what they deserve ! absolutely nothing and worse. I rue the day i walked into a betting shop at 15 with my older brother and put a bet on, did it win ? of course it did, from that moment i was hooked on punting.

I will have restful day after all the furniture moving on saturday, i think roast beef with all the trimmings is in order. Have a great everyone, i made that choice and i am winning every day. Dark Place /

The honorable dark place

Fella that is the first Sunday I can remember you posting for a while my friend where the combination of beer and friends had not led to gambling on a Saturday,for that is huge progress!!

Enjoy that roast Beef my friend

oh if you have not purchased it yet,that supermarket were every little helps has some great offers on beef on there fresh meat counter this week,maybe you will get to save even more of your hard earned!!!

That is a great feeling

Enjoy it

Abstain and maintain

Duncs stepping forward never back

Morning DP

20 days and right in the non gambling zone now ! this time I ma not even looking at form, totally nothing ? all of the barriers are in place and I am going to succeed this time..... I have a good feeling about my attitude and over all persona !

Get your a***s out of my life you sickening twisted disease ! I am not taking any more of your sh**e !

Have a great week all, Dark Place /

Hi DP,

Day 20 is good start and surely clears the fog of them nasty thoughts. I know you can do it and you know it yourself. Life is too precious to see it fading away.

Enjoy ur day.

So on we go, day 21 and my resolve gifted and strengthened by my continued compliance of denying an alliance to the punt ! i am without doubt a different person. Behold the new dark place, a polar difference from the sad and selfsih f*#k i was before when punting, long may it continue.

Morning Diary, Day 22.

Feeling really strong at the moment, was given hot tip yesterday !!!! beaten into 2nd, I have to say I did gain a sick satisfaction knowing it had lost and it did not get one little bit of my hard earnt cash ! of course many others had waded in but still, gambling is the ultimate futile act ! why so long to learn it.

Have a wonderful day everyone, Dark Place /

Well done Dark Place (sounds like u should be changing ur intro name?!!) you're doing great - long May it continue for us both!! Helen. X

Day 23, nothing to report ! just keeping the demons at bay ! keep on keeping on, that is all I can do ! Dark Place

So another day almost completed, 24 in all its glory 😉 long week and feeling tired after work. Time for early night, sleep well all, nearly one month clocked up. Feeling soooooo proud of myself, Dark Place

Hi DP

25 days today you should be sooo proud

Well done

Keep going staying strong and positive

Good morning diary.

So day 26 arrives, not even been close to placing a bet, this is without doubt the most pleasing thing. I am not foolish to think i cannot be tempted again but i am so clear in my mind, knowing i just do not want any more anguish and pain in my life. Its not to late to turn my life around and have a positive impact on my children's life. I want a legacy of good memories about me, not a selfish fu*#

Great day of sport ahead and relaxing with the family.

Great post DP! Well done. Stay strong! Helen. X
