Well done secret good to see where your money has gone to something more worthwhile and well done 57 days gamble free
Lou x
Day 61, Friday will be my 3rd payday! My 3rd payday where the money will stay in my bank account and not lining the pockets of the online slot sites. Its also approaching my Birthday in the next couple of weeks, setting my goal to have my first birthday gamble free since I was 19, ill be 32 so as you can imagine its been a long time coming but I've got this ?
I'm usually working through daytime but today I'm off. And because I don't usually watch any TV till after tea time I can't believe how much shows are sponsored by all these gambling sites. No wonder there are so many ppl addicted when it's in our faces all the time ?
Thanks for dropping by Tom, I missed chat tonight to watch the football with son and hubby, something I would of previously say whilst playing slots.
Just seen your post on your diary. Sorry you have had another difficult night in chat. Stay strong, keep focused and most of all stay gamble free. Dont let anyone else spoil your journey.
Will speak tomorrow in chat ??
Hello Secret. Just a quick visit to congratulate you on your excellent progress in stopping gambling.
???.
Totally agree with your sentiments regarding the television adverts. I consider it an absolute disgrace that they are allowed to blatantly deceive people the way they do but we have seen through it and now know better ?.
Here is a little rhyme as a sign of respect from me to you:
A lady nearing thirty two
No bets for nine long weeks
Hand on heart defiantly
Renouncing awful freaks
The freaks who go on telly
Fronting adverts which deceive
Promoting gambling companies
Whilst ignoring those who grieve
But that is all behind us now
And we have eyes that see
With kindred spirits by our side
All longing to be free
Aum ?
Day 70 still going strong ?

Wishing you every happiness over the weekend.

Hi lovely Secret!
Thanks for your words, means a lot. Although, as I’ve just told Captain, I think I need to reassess.
Will definitely catch up soon and well done. You are doing amazing. I really admire you and so love you positivity!

77 days Gamble free which I make that 11 full weeks ??
The weeks have flown by lately and I have to admit I find myself coming less and less each day to the forums, at the start I would be on here a good 10 times checking posts lol. I think it maybe the fact I don't really have any desires to gamble now. How can something consume your life for 12 years and here I am now 11 weeks with no a gamble in site.
Thanks Aum and Tizzy for popping by and for your kind words and Aum your lovely poems ? it really does mean alot do thank you??
So yesterday was my birthday, my first birthday in 12 years that I was gamble free. I'm now on day 82, few shy of 12 full weeks. ???
