Another day another £ss saved

Well done on the 150 days Kate, great stuff ?

And on previous post re spending - there is ‘real world’ spending and normal cash flow and budgeting, but these are all alien concepts when we are in full CG mode. I wouldn’t say you are a hypocrite,  you weren’t spending, you were feeding an addiction, big difference.

Thank you Secret for being such a great source of inspiration to me on this journey to a more meaningful way of living.

There are occasions when I feel tired or confused and on those days I turn to gamcare friends like yourself for reassurance. Your knowledge, courage and understanding have brought me comfort on many occasion.

Best wishes with respect

Hi Kate, 

Am looking forward to the finale of Vigil for sure! And thank you for the recommendation of Angela Black. 

I hope you’re well.

165 days now.

Fast approaching my 6 month ?? never in a millions years did I ever think I could be gamble free. Spending my whole 20s gambling daily, depositing till there was zero left in the bank. I've shared my journey here with some fab caring people. I have noticed myself not being in chat the past couple of weeks, 1 because I've been busy working but I think I'm finally content with myself. At the start I made sure I was there, it was part of my recovery, if I was here in chat I wasn't gambling. Without chat I don't think I would be where I am today, so thank you all for being there in chat and the forums. Without this platform my life would still be the same as before I signed up here.

Secret that was so nice to read. You've done amazing. I can't wait til the day I can say I'm that far gamble free ?

Welldone you ?

175 day - 25 weeks ??? This time next week I'll be officially 6 months clear of the devil of gambling ? 

Hi @secret,

Well done to you and keep up the good work! I read your previous posts and it is positive to see how much progress you are making.

Wishing you all the best,

188 day Gamble free ???

Found myself coming on here less and less. Life has moved forwards now and things have changed since i became gamble free. Will always come along when I remember to or have time because I want to help others to achieve what I have.

Congratulations Kate on half a year gamble-free. 

Excellent progress on your great adventure. I am always inspired by your positivity and have the utmost respect for your hopes and ideals.

222 days gamble free now.

Also since I haven't been on here much but whenever i come on here,  the minute I go on social media following it, it loads lots of gambling adverts. How strange when have gamban on and only happens after I've logged in here 

Secret, 

I know it's hard when this happens. Just remember you're better than that. Keep on clocking up those Gf days, you're well pat the half year mark now. I know how hard you've grafted over Xmas. Don't let addiction hijack your thoughts & steal what's been hard earned. I don't just mean your money either.

Best

PAST this keyboard seen better days lol

Hi Secret

Ive just read this full spread.  I have also been gambling for 12 years.  Your posts have inspired me.  Hopefully I can post about being 6 months gamble free.  The journey starts again; one day at a time. Cheers 

Long time since I last posted. Been so busy and find myself not coming to the site much anymore. I'm going to try commit to coming by every wed and Sunday evening for chat again. I'm day 276 since I changed my life around and kicked the horrible gambling addiction that had clouded my life for a long 12 years. Never in a million years did I think I would be capable of quitting. Most of my adult life from 19 to 31 was just gambling, and life now is just a breathe of fresh air. Gone are the worries of how I was going to pay my bills I had gambled away, the sleepless night chasing my loses and the lies and deceit of taking payday loans out in hubby's name and gambling his wages too.

Every single person from the day I joined this site played an important role and I'd like to thank you all. Next stop is my 1 year anniversary and I can't wait till I hit that next goal.

Keep it up secret, I am myself not as active but pop on here a few times to do some reflection and reading. I forgot when I last gambled now until I checked I m 85 days in. Anyways life is starting to creep up on me and I am understanding the more important things in life than going back into hell with gambling again. I just have to know myself and trust my self with my habits and not get led astray into the mind numbing gambling BS we all could easily be caught in. "My fight is alone in my mind but together online" stay gamble free everyone, keep fighting for a real life!
