Day 73 got through my holiday which was previously a big trigger with a few urges but enjoyed it so much more without gambling. I now have a renewed vigour with which to fight this!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your message.

74 days today of winning and not losing, you should be proud because it is a big achievement.

Life is sooo much happier, healthier and saner with no gambling in it.

You are getting nearer to the century club, keep fighting and stay strong, each day of abstaining makes us more determined to keep maintaining.

Well done to you.

Day 75 and there will be no gambling today. Still getting urges but I'm finding that with a good period of abstinence behind me they are getting easier to bat off, something which I hoped would happen but wasn't sure actually would. So although I'm still not feeling that much better I am slowly moving to a better place, and with that in mind the only piece of advice I feel able to offer so far is stick with it during those awful early days-things will improve. I also appreciate that I'm still right at the start of the journey and can't let my guard down for a second.

Day 76 mate who would have thought we could have come this far 😮 great to read your feelings are strong on not going back to gamble mate.the urges will always pop up but just have to be battered away as fast as they appear in our heads.how good is a holiday with the family when we are not gambling eh? FANTASTIC 😉 Still early days but we are going the right road for

100 days free of a bet.lots of people out there really struggling to get through life and all we are asked to do is dont place a bet.take care mate and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Day 78 and a very stressful one for various reasons, I almost certainly would have gambled in the past but not today no chance. 78 not out and closing in on the ton 🙂

Hi mark

Well done on 79 days of being gamble.

Keep going and stay strong whatever the weather lol.

80 days clean, still can't believe I could break the habit of a lifetime for that long!

80 days for us mate as we stretch on 😉 was not bad at the football when I was younger but only play 5s and 7s now as my knees cant hold up for 90mins on grass 11,s.i play lots of sports right enough to try keep my mind off gambling like golf,pool and snooker aswel.its hard though because trying to fill gambling voids with sports but not getting as much time with wife and kids. Its going to take a while to get it 100% right and put myself last in the que but al take each day as it comes the now and hope to remain gamble free.i woke up today,didnt want a bet,didnt need a bet and hopefully thats the way its going to stay but we never know do we.the dream team league is taking shape now 🙂

Day 83 yet another Saturday but no betting for me. Big test yesterday, one of the lads at work wanted some football coupons and knew I was passing a bookies so asked me to pop in. I debated for a while but have been feeling strong recently so decided I would do it - big mistake. As soon as I stepped through the door the old feelings flooded back so I grabbed the coupons and ran. Big lesson learned that I am not strong enough yet and may never be so I wont be entering the devils den anymore.
