Day 1 . After spending 5 hours reading everyone's story's was what I needed I no longer feel like a Martian and realised so many people have this horrible addiction . Well after reading them last night I was saying never again like have done so many times before but I've woke up this morning came straight back on site instead of going on a site looking at sports selection to bet on . And had the urge but I left my flat went for a walk and it passed no doubt is gonna happen a lot . If your reading this and are feeling the same or starting your journey of kicking this diease please reply to me and we can battle this together . Would help me aswell . Thanks Matt 🙂

Kyledonno hi mate thanks for your message and also thanks Casey jay . Kyle mate this addiction had made us all do stuff we would not do if this illness was not so powerful I feel u bro . The number one thing I have realised and I'm only on day 2 of my journey but I just aired all my dirty laundry with freinds family and my parents and that made me feel a lot better . It's 7am and I'm up which is early.for years I stay up most of the night betting on American sports and wake up midday . Today is my second day and I've woke up still with the fighting spirit . Everytime I feel the urge I come.on here and read my posts and other people's to remind me why I have chosen to stop this horrible addiction. And u may feel u have ruined everything good mate in your life but u coming here is the first step to making it all better again my freind . And caseyjay gonna try chatroom later maybe u guys can join thanks for ur words keep in touch . We will kik gambling a*s we can do this here's day 2 🙂
