Successful wed guys no coupons no fobt 1 week completed another 1 about to begin .
This has probably been the longest week of my life .
I must thank my wife for her help in all of this when I tried stopping before I would come home from work and the first thing she would ask is where you in the bookies today this used to bug me and would get me thinking about gambling again this time she hasn't mentioned it once so now I know that when I come in from work there is no reminders no one speaking of these Shithole's .
Now on to week 2 fingers crossed for another successful week
Day 1 of week 2 successfully completed to be honest I think the fact I am busy with work and not sitting about P**s bored is helping me .
9th day and counting although I must admit I woke up this morning thinking Saturday need to get my coupons on .
Hopefully I will manage to find something else to occupy my mind until the football kicks off
Well managed to get Saturday out of the way thankfully no bets placed also into double figures 10 days free from evil yehaaa
Sunday and Monday where both successful days for me I am now on my 12th day bet free and feeling quite good about it .
In the 12 days I have managed to put away a couple of hundred pounds towards my boys Christmas and pay of a little debt also so fingers crossed I can keep away from the s**t
Just reading that the maximum stake on FOBT has to be sliced from ВЈ100 to between ВЈ2 and £50 .
Now we all know that there is no chance they will bring it down too £2 as they will then lose money or will they just introduce turbo spins so you can gamble more no matter what they do it won't be beneficial to a gambling addict .
The only way to help us is to ban these things completely and we all know that ain't happening
Affected by gambling?
