just gonna drop a few words in everyday as I continue my journey. Not much happened today other than work and a bit of exercise. However my biggest achievement is that there were no FBOT's used by me today and that's worth a mention:)
Definately is worth a mention.
Welcome to recovery.
FBOT's were (one of) my vices, hate them now with a passion, alongwith the gambling industry in general.
Share your thoughts and history on here, we're all equal with a common goal.
Take care and stay gamble free.
Thanks Andy. Work again today and a bit of a run. Day 3 FOBT free. We all have a choice in what we do and I choose to be FOBT's free from now on
Well done Newey. Stay strong and enjoy the feeling of being gamble free. I was more of a sports betting addiction, I was always scared to play the fobts as I didn't like what they done to people but I was just doing the same. My moods and anger I showed when gambling was shameful
Hi Newey,
It may be a rainy day but I hope things are still going well for you!
I'm reading a lot of the recovery diaries at the moment so I can gain a bit of insight about how to help my other half and I look forward to supporting you on your journey too!
Best Wishes
Well done newey,
3 days is great going, keep kicking those FOTBS into the gutter where they belong :)))

Day 4 FOBT free. Got better things to do with my money than give it away again. Pay day tomorrow and the money is straight into the locked saving account 🙂 Hard day at work today and tomorrow and some good exercise tonight. Getting my Buzz from living now not from rotting in front of a screen. Staying strong, focused and feeling great 😉
Well done Newey. 4 days in is great and enjoy that feeling of achievement. The fantastic news is that you have every opportunity of feeling the same tomorrow... And day 6,7,8.... Well done mate and keep focussed.
Definitely agree with sbisstopping.
You can totally do this, don't risk your wages, just think if it's gambled its пёЏessentially like you've worked for nothing!!
Keep it up you're doing great!
please tell me what FOTB means? (when I see reply, will prob say ...of course! what else ....
3.34 am, just (hopefully finished my last slot gamble) Have gone though and closed accounts on all sites.
Hope you all dont get fed up of me moaning and block me??? I need help
FOBT is a fixed odds betting terminal - the machines you see in bookies.
Day 5 passed with no problem. The sun is shining and still feeling great. Today I will once again be FOBT free 🙂
Stay strong Newey... keep going and try not to even think of gambling
Well done newey. Keep going!
Keep fighting with not hitting the rigged machines. Well done for keeping off them. Credit deserved. Make each gamble free day count. 🙂
