Congrats on the 166 days being GF and a good postive post.

Over 100 days later since the last time I posted on here and still pleased to say I didn't gamble today. Still not got an answer as to why and it still bugs me sometimes but in the meantime I'll get a kick out of life the universe and everything and hope I can get to 300 days 🙂
Hey 4D, how's it going?
Checking in tonight for the first time in a while. I was shocked and pleased to see I'm nearly at 400 days gf. I did know it was over a year but I didn't want to make a big thing of the year...all blocks are still in place and I'm living free...not wise yet but certainly in a better place mentally and financially than I was this time last year. I still have a desire to gamble from time to time but I don't act on it, the thought then goes. I have blocks in place so it would be very very difficult to gamble, not impossible, but very difficult...and a lot of hassle...so maybe its because my brain knows the blocks are there, it lets the cravings go after a few seconds. I don't care though as long as it works!! Gambling isn't worth *my time*

This is all great to read. Great stuff.
Hi 4D.
I hope you are well. Your posts and diary are incredible as it clearly comes from the heart. I am impressed with the way you deal with the occasional gambling urges and have shown that it can be done on a long term basis.
I realise that you don't need to post on your diary anymore but always remember that you have lots of Gamcare friends. Keep us updated from time to time.
All the best,
Martin
