Determined to beat this demon

Thanks Mark, I'm going to chat room now.

Hi kp so sorry your struggling all I really know is if you do you'll lose that money and regret it so much we can't win cos we can't stop hun. Your on here though so that's good keep posting hun and fighting! Take care Lu x

Hi KP

Great to chat to you tonight. I'm on a crappy train journey that's going to take me 4 hours to get home yet...

... It's all gravy. How much am I gambling? Not a penny.

So I'm taking it all in my stride.

You know what KP; it's strange, but recovering gamblers like me and you are very chilled out actually. Take the gambling away and we can handle anything!

Hi diary, it's day 5, 22.00

I almost buckled earlier, looking at doing a football bet, only a fiver but it always starts with "just a fiver" doesn't it.

I didn't do it!! I held strong and stayed away.

Thanks to everyone who supported me earlier when I was creaking.

Day 6 tomorrow!! I am Unbreakable.

We CAN and we WILL

This is what we all want to see. Forget the football bet, you might win or lose, but our addiction means it always ultimately need to a loss! That's the problem with us, we always give it back and then some!

Now, we always guarantee a 100% payout - by not gambling!

Approaching the weekend KP, Katiecoo, change - be resolute!

Hi diary. Day 6!!

Strangely enough I don't gamble on the weekend, I like to go into the pubs in the week.

Should be 7 days tomorrow!!

I'm also looking forward to being part of a special group of people who are absolutely determined to beat this, as I am.

Recently I said I had will of steel, I wobbled last night but got through.

Will of kevlar today!!!

Good stuff KP (although I had to look up what Kevlar was!!) 🙂

Woo hoo.. tomorrow is your 1 week target, so pleased for you... You will not be beaten, onwards and upwards my friend !!

Come on guys let's do it!!

I can't remember a time I went a week without gambling.

We CAN and we WILL

I am so chuffed for you !

Thanks Katie!!

We got this!

I think we should start an online savings club.

Every day we don't gamble we should contribute to a bank account, held by a 3rd party and if you relapse twice you forfeit any deposits.

If we manage to get to 365 days, we'd have savings for next xmas

Day 7!!!

Come on!!

Eat that fruities! A week without you!!

We CAN and we WILL

KP, I am absolutely delighted for you! We have talked the talk, stating what we will do on Day1, and we are walking the walk.

Keep it going as we head into the weekend. Forget "boxes" and enjoy football matches for what they are, a contest of wills, without getting stressed on who wins!

Let's face it. There are 3 outcomes to a match and if you back 1, you're going to lose 2 out of 3. It means football generates more misery than enjoyment overall.

Now, you can watch a match and enjoy it every time! And if you would have 'won', so what! More likely you will lose overall, and lose big.

Keep going!!!

Well done KP on the 7 days....I'm into boxes too!...trying not to give them any more money...only Day 4 though.

Thanks guys! I'm flying!

Rhonda it can be done.

You are welcome to join myself, mixer, change and Katie in our ongoing progress.

7 days!! Eat that flashing boxes!!
And I just walked straight past the wetherspoons on my way to the bank and didn't give it a second thought.

We CAN and we WILL
