Hey DP
Congrats on the 50 days matey. Good to read that you're feeling strong and that horse tips that have won and you didn't back, are not affecting your vision and commitment to staying an ex-gambler. I agree with you when you say it's a big step to recovery and towards improving your mental strength. This demon has lived with us for far too long. All we ask is that we're left in peace to go about our lives a different way from now on. Gambling is gone. Consigned to our past.
Inspirational!

Day 53 and all is good, hoping to keep finally bety free for life. I have made an excellent start but must not become complacent, i did that before and paid a eavy price. Have a great weekend everyone, i will be resting and taking it easy and no drinking this weekend ! maybe some long walks for a change. Dark Place
Hai DP
Thanks for popping bye and switching the light on. A smile goes along way hai.
Good to see you had a good day in London and your determination is shining through. Keep on the front foot and strength to you.
Enjoy your weekend
tough weekend so far one way and another, trying to remain strong. Day 55 passes , keep strong everyone Dark Place
Hey DP.... you've come a long way. I remember when you thought of yourself as "dogmeat" so don't go there again! Getting through the tough times is hard but it's doable. I was reading your post to me from a while back where you talked about your guitar lessons and "wasting" that gift. Well, I don't believe that anything learned is a waste. I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says "It's never too late to be what you might have been." Maybe you need to pick up a guitar (assume you still have one?) and play around with it? That would be a good distraction. Fight through it, DP!
Where are you? Come back!
Day 60 onwards and upwards, been away from here all week. Been travelling with some finnish colleagues and in ireland too + my works xmas party :-/ not had time to think about gambling let alone put a bet on !
Have a great weekend everyone, Dark Place
Thank you and proud of you and I "just know" you're a good 'un yourself! ((((DP))))
bad news.... gambled again today, totally sick to the stomach with my flaling weakness for this mental illness.
need time to consider my position again and wonder where i went wrong this time. Will be away from here for a while, dark place again
DP,
Don't beat yourself up over it. You knowledge your mistake, so please just take it easy. Slips are possible, it is part of the recovery, but we can only learn from them.
Stay close, take the support we offer, don't isolate..
Stay strong, and be kind to yourself please
