Hi taximan,
Your hard work, has now given you 59 days of winning, great going.

Day 59
Thanks for all your posts and support does mean so much.
We won the first leg of the pool match 8-2 last night we are a bit Jekyll and hide but the cynic inside me thinks it may have been a tactical defeat by the opponents as the first round losers go into the losers shield and they may think they have more of a chance in that.
Yea very proud of my lad and his team it's his 1st year since he joined the squad and they are really quite good undefeated so far this season including only 3 draws.
Again no thoughts of gambling at all and I wouldn't of believed that was possible until I found this site as my life resolved around it so thankyou to everyone who contributes to this place
Thanks for dropping by, we should all contribute to that book 🙂 Just need to find a suitable author - one that can use computers 😉
Good on you with the Pool & good on the little man & feeling proud!
I echo your thanks to this site & all who post on it, it continues to amaze me how grateful I am for the support of strangers as well as feelings of pride I have for people I do not know! Keep @ it - ODAAT
Well done on day 59 mate... You look as if you fill your time up really well with great hobbies and family time... You are right about this site changing your life as I feel stronger every day and i put it down to sharing my thoughts on here!!
Well done mate keep up the good work.
Thanks for the post on my diary taxi man.
I've always kept an eye on your progress as we both started at the same time,well this is probably my 40th attempt,but things are definitely different this time.
It's amazing how things can change in just 60 days,well done on your continued progress.
I use to do a bit if part time taxi driving at weekends,mainly to pay off debts;but it ending up being just more gambling tokens.
I use to hate that feeling of starting work at 5 on a Saturday tea time,having just wasted much more than I was gonna earn in the afternoon;the bad old days,-long gone thank god.
Keep gamble free and happy taxi man.
all the best trigger.
Day 60
Thanks ODATT, Carl and Trigger for your posts and support.
ODATT thanks for your comments and continued support right from my 1st post to 60 days I've noticed I'm not the only one your great at welcoming any newbies on here keep up the good work.
Carl, yea I do seem to keep myself busy it's all the same stuff I did alongside gambling but means a lot more now my focus is purely on the hobbies and without the worry of latest football scores etc I enjoy them things a lot more now.
Trigger, yea it's great to read other stuff that is close to same timescale as yourself and glad to hear you feel different this time. It's probably a better job to do part time as the weekends can be good have quite often burnt myself out before we get to weekend though usually try and give myself Thursday off these days to stop that happening.
Well day 60 feeling good and feeling strong no thoughts of gambling at all and in a good place right now. I did say last week I would look in my finances and sort a plan of action out well I did look at them and it was a little worse than I thought so in a bit of state financially and hope to get it down to a manageable level by the end of this year.
Well done for braving that & good to see a sound plan rather than a knee j**k reaction that it could have caused! You're doing great - ODAAT 🙂

Day 61
Thanks ODATT, Carl and Suzanne for you messages and support.
Nothing really to report at present still not even thinking of gambling at the moment just working today then pool match again this evening exactly half way thru the season after tonight's round of games.
How's the pool going taxi-man?
I'm considering dusting off the cue and starting playing snooker again, had a few frames over Xmas and got into it and the snooker on the telly at the moment has me hooked!
Starting to realise what I enjoy doing rather than starting and stopping due to no concentration because of gambling!
Day 62
Thanks tears for you message and support we lost 7-3 last night I'm on a bit of a barren spell recently lost 2 last night and 4 out the last 5. Yea that bug usually catches me to when I watch it although I'm not a great snooker player more at home on the smaller baize.
Day and night off today off today so been out for lunch with my girlfriend, granny and auntie was really good now a nice chilled night before the hard work begins again tmoz.
No urge or thoughts of gambling at all and I'm loving it long may it continue.
Day 63
No urges or intention to gamble still feels brilliant almost don't even notice the bookies when I go past them at the moment lost all interest don't find myself checking results on a daily basis. My local league side playing tonight away from home so will be checking that one.
If it's to good to be true it usually is so on my guard for the tide turning at any moment.
Just work for today and tmoz to look forward too.
Have a great weekend everyone
Well done on 63 days taxi man 9 weeks!
Great to get out of the habit of wasting money.
Keep your guard up mate,have a good weekend,hope you earn lots.
All the best trigger
Day 64
Thanks trigger for your post and support mate thanks for pointing out it was 9 weeks didn't realise the significance just been counting the days.
Maybe a lil urge or 2 today it been a Saturday and for a bit of interest but I've kept away from looking at fixtures so not to be tempted.
im so determined to never bet ever again life is so much less stressful my home life is so much better now I'm not so tuned into footy scores etc
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone
