Day 159
Glad to see a couple of old faces I follow back on here recently obviously wish they were in a better position and it sounds horrible but they spur me on and inspire me to carry on my recovery as much if not more than the success stories on here a few times over the last 150 odd days I've had feelings like I can stop when I want so maybe I can have the occasional bet on the footy at the weekend or the darts on a Thursday but then you read the stories and they may disappear for a month or 2 but they always come back usually in a far worse position and it proves us CG cannot even place that first bet as it will spiral out of control and before I knew it id be back to square one or worse.

Day 168
Enjoyed the darts last night again a few shocking results with that and the snooker results and the odd footy shocker thrown in im feeling pretty pleased with myself for not gambling anymore would have lost an absolute fortune recently. Never really shook off the mindset of thinking would have won this or lost that etc.
Anyways working til 4 then off to enjoy some more snooker this afternoon early night and back out In very early hours of the morning.

As long as it's just a mindset, you have no worries esp since we know the 'I would have lost' will reign triumphant!
Great to see the work horse doing you both proud - I trust you're not taking too much of a cut 😉 Must feel great to look @ it working for you & know you paid for it with your hard work 🙂
Congratulations on 24 weeks 🙂 Good to see you supporting a winner for a change rather than the underdog...Keep winning - ODAAT
Hey ODAAT thanks for your message and continued support.
If I'm honest I've probably been really gutted on about 5 days of the 168 so far lol.
Yea it's been faultless so far and it's working very well. A standard 50/50 split but all running costs out of my half we both seem happy at the moment.
24 weeks thanks for pointing that out didn't realise getting hung up on the days still. That puts me a couple of weeks off 6 months then nice target to aim for next.
Thanks NT for your post and support.
Day 170
Very busy night/day today now finished in time to watch some footy and snooker.
Everyone I've wanted to win pretty much every match in the snooker has lost so far. Wanting a new winner in Bingham for the final now.
Gutted for a local side to me Preston missing auto promotion this afternoon finishing on 90 points hope they win the playoffs.
