FRESH START,
Today is day two on my journey. Been going back and forth with the gambling for months and enough is enough. It has to stop.
Day 7 and feels good to have a week gamble free for the first time in a long while.
Reached 19 days without online gambling or trips to the bingo !
Gotta keep it going .
Debt free in 2.5 years, maybe sooner if I can keep my act together !
31 days gamble free
One month down, nice one. The hardest part can often be the first steps but you've got back up and have taken them again.
Have a good weekend mate.
All the best!
Hi Claire,
How are you, how are you getting on ? Im still on and off the gambling bandwagon 🙁 but on the whole things are a lot better - so really not sure why I still drag my life back down again !

Back to day one for me - time to check back in and back on the gamble free path once again . Really need to stop this destructive gambling - never going to be happy or have any money the way I’m going on ...
Day two
Joining the year end challenge is helping and knowing I’ve made this commitment to myself and others to stay gamble free till Boxing Day which is my four year anniversary of joining Gamcare and when I first started trying to quit. Can’t believe four years have passed and I’m no further forward.
Day four complete .
Hello BDF,
I know it hurts to think about the debt but you have to take your focus off the money. I know i looked at the amount of debt i had in terms of a "time sentence" rather than just the gutting figure i had to look at. To move on you have to focus on what matters. You.
You have to accept where you are and make the future count or the circle continues and that debt will still hang over you and it'll be the time lost that hurts more than the money if you continue as you are and get nowhere. Because thats the real hurt. We don't get the time back but we can chip away at that pill of debt. Im not going to be paying my debt back as quick as i first hoped and a year ago i would have been gutted to hear someone tell me that, but i've found a life around it and i can't buy that.
Be open, honest. Show yourself some love and make this time 4 days into a real future. You can do this.
All the best.
Day 5 thanks for the post on my diary ! Yes absolutely right I need to take my focus off the debt and just live to day within my means knowing that one day the debt will be gone if I keep chipping away at it.
Day 6 going strong ...
Day 8 all’s well
Day 9 and checking into my diary safely gamble free
