How you doing mate? I know it is hard but just keep going. Last year i done over 200 and then slipped up thinking i was over it and could handle my bets. Realistically i was not ready to stop last year. This time is so different as i am 100% wanting to stop and have learned from my mistakes. Hipefully u can keep going but whatever happens dont be too hard on yourself as u have done 6 months and that is no mean feat when fighting an addiction but what good with having a bet do you. f*****g none mate it will scratch that itch for a very short time but you know deep down it will just lead to further unhappiness. Good Luck my friend and i am always here if you need someone to talk to. I dont post much now but still track certain people who have helped me in the past.
201 days today............. proud to have made it past the 200 day mark but still fighting those urges every day more so at the weekends. Chipping away at my gambling debt and hope to have it paid of in about a year if i dont slip up.Keep having thoughts of winning some of my losses back but really dont want to undo my good work and ending back at day 1......
Fantastc work. I'm a long way behind you (day 14) but determined to follow in your footsteps.
​
Well done you on the 202 days, lovely milestone to reach,
Suzanne xx
Hope ur still going strong mate and have a good Christmas.
Back Again.......... Havent been on here in quite a while cause i have been doing well not gambling and paying of my debt but guess what i have fell of the wagon and been gambling again....... why have i put myself threw this again really dont want to go there again... back to day 1 again need to keep posting in here as that what helped the last time i stopped.... not good
Day 1....... Cant believe i a fallen back into my old ways again been gambling again for about a month having been clean for nearly 2 years..... having worked hard to pay off my previous gambling debt i really need to nip this in the bud quickly before i loose control yet again, hoping that by posting again in here can help me do that .........
Day 2...... No thoughts of gambling today going to keep myself busy,still angry with myself for putting myself in this position once again need to keep posting in my diary on here as thats the one thing that seems to keep me on track. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
This addiction really is crazy..........have to think twice about getting a £20 chinese takeaway but would put a £1000 football bet on without a second thought.....
Day 3 ....looking forward to watching todays football for what it is and not willing another goal, corner etc, glad blocks are in place cause i could easily tempted.... really dont want to go back to the place i was at before
Day 4 today......... determined to get back on track after my relapse , like before i have big urges to win the money i have lost back so far managing to fend them off, finding coming on here helps to do that.Should never have stopped posting in here in the first place.Thought i had beat this after nearly 2 years without a bet but i was wrong,just taking it a day at a time.
Keep going mate . We both made it through the weekend . Now we'll make it through the week , all the best

Hi Anon100 Thanks for taking the time to post in my Diary...... think my relapse was caused by thinking after 2 years that i could have a small football bet again just for the interest but my problem is that when i lose i feel the the need to get that money back no matter how small. Have blocks in place this time (didnt before), and have not got into debt this time either(just finished paying of my previous gambling debt) so with the help of people on here i hope to nip it in the bud quickly.
Day 5 ........ Plenty of football on tonight which is what i would of bet on the most but not tonight ......keeping busy and thinking how it felt after a big loss(dont want that feeling again).... thanking anyone who has posted in my diary it really does help alot knowing you are not going threw this alone
