For everything I did wrong, I did many things right

Day 21.

This time around I don't miss gambling. I don't have anything good to say about it and I just don't want to do it again. I dont miss the buzz. It terrifies me how it can take over my control. I am in control and that is the way forward. It has similar effects on me as drugs and I am not going back there. Hope you are all having a good weekend. Suzy x

Hi, well done on your gf days, on day 17 were you said you had dreamt you had gambled, I had a dream like that too, i even had to check my bank! Stay strong and positive, you know you can do it x

Thanks for post Suzy & well done Day 21....you're catching up with me...the days go in one at a time. You're right online slots are so bad, should be banned.

Day 25.

Found a scratchcard I had hidden since before xmas and cashed it in for €10. Unheard of for me not to buy more. But I took my €10 and I kept my pride. Not even a lotto ticket anymore for me as it just draws me back in to a gambling mess. I can do this. Suzy x

Day 28 = 4 weeks

One of the other posters talks about staying level, no highs or lows, just level.

I agree with him that it's the secret to clocking up gamble free days.

I can live without the highs of winning and the crushing lows of loosing. Just want to be one of the ordinary non gamblers who go about their daily life without sneaking around gambling at every chance,

Next target is full calendar month of January. Suzy x

Day 30 - Enjoying my freedom without the shackles of gambling. We are all prisoners once we place that first bet until we lose our last spin. I am 30 days free from all that. Life is so much better without it.

Must be careful not to self-sabotage. Hope you all have a good gf week. Suzy x

Well done on your almost calendar month suzy. Have a great week
Deano

Thank you Deano. Hope you are having a good week.

Day 32.

A new month tomorrow and new challenges to face head on and not revert back to gambling. Not pressing that self-destruct button ever again. Suzy x

Day 38. I have to accept I can never gamble again. I can't be a social gambler. Those days are gone. Gambling is like a game of snakes & ladders - a few ladders yes but mostly big sneaky rattle snakes. I am staying well clear. I am seeing gambling without the glamour & buzz. Hope you all have a good week. Suzy x

Day 40. Days are building up and I am in the right mindset. Not complacent. Temptation to gamble can be strong when the urges hit. But I can do this!

Well done Suzy

Day 44 - thanks for the support Brandon !

So I have passed the 6 week mark now and life is good. Had a normal weekend like normal people who don't gamble. No gambling hangover on Monday morning. Clear head and clear conscience. Have a good gamble free week.

Hey Suzy....

I remember following you when I first began my journey.

A shame you went back to gambling but its so hard to keep away from. Even with 500 days+ you haven't beat it as you can always go back to it so you can never let your guard down and im sure you know this

I had many relapses and finally im on the right path.

Its so hard and its so great to see a familiar face back here beating it.

Keep them days totting up

8 weeks gamble free. Nearly 2 calendar months. I see opportunities to gamble every day. But I stay strong and in control. Not tempted as I know I will not be able to stop. I have accepted that this time around. There is life without gambling and it is a better life. Well done to all who post. We can learn from each other and find strength together. Suzy x

Day 62. Two calendar months. Just got to keep plodding along. No highs and no lows. Everything on the level. Sounds boring but it isn't boring at all. Hope you are all doing well this week. Suzy x
