Day 58
Morning diary, all is well ! no urges at all and enjoying having the children with me from Finland, little Isaac too. Have a working day today, but off tomorrow for long weekend ! last visit to LEGOLAND before end of season with all the children. Iiris's birthday tomorrow so birthday cake and party in the evening !
Money been a struggle for the last 2 months but at last I start to see the wood from the trees.... if I am careful it will be a great Christmas with no major financial worries. Then next year my bonus will come at the right time 🙂
Wishing everyone a great day and keep on keeping on, life is so much better without the stress of gambling.

Morning Diary & Day 60
Well those days are starting to rack up, had a great day yesterday followed by few beers with good friends and wife. Things could not really be better.
Was given a tip yestersay by the owner of a horse, I gave it out to a few people and it faded badly and lost. Its rather sickening to admit but i did get a sense of satifaction seeing it lose knowing i had not lost any of my hard earnt, it would have been equally satisfying if it had won and they all had some extra betting tokens.... because that is all it is.
Lazy day today, my beloved west ham need to see off Burnley to keep up the good start to the season.... these are the type of games we have lost in the past.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, look after yourself and your closest loved ones, we dont need to waste another moment on the futile act of punting ! we are better than that, Dark Place
Hi DP,
Thanks for your message.
60 days is great going.
Each day we abstain and maintain takes us further away from the disgusting addiction, because that it what it is,
Well done, you are getting stronger and wiser now.
Keep going and keep winning.

61 Days clear of the curse, finally the shackles are being unbolted, my life is coming back to life, no more dark clouds..... blood pressure down and feeling better than ever. Have a great Sunday everyone, Dark Place /

my dear friend it is truly fantastic to read that your effort to live in recovery is being rewarded in ways you simply cannot put a value upon.
I do wonder in the fullness of time you will educate your 'tipster' in the fact that you have a winning formula in place and that would be destroyed through placing one single punt.
Lead us not into temptation??
Keep making the right choice
Most of all enjoy it.
