Hey mark,

You are learning more every day, keep going keep learning and keep starving the destructive addiction.

Well done.

Good to see you still doing well mate. I could not have gone in betting shop mate because that would only make the urge to gamble greater because you see all the fobt and the racing on the tv that's a nitemare to me but you did well to come straight back out

Brilliant result for the boro today against a Fulham side which have won last 3. Makes you wonder how they didn't beat blackpool had to be complacency

No gambling today for me, but must guard against complacency and always remember one day at a time. Have definitely finally moved to a better place though, need to keep telling myself that I'm enjoying life now because im not gambling. Targets at the moment are 100, xmas then the birth of my second child.

92 days without a bet. International weekend brought a fair few urges as it was always a good money maker for me. Problem was that money never went in my pocket it always went back to the bookies.not anymore.

Day 95 closing in on the ton! In a decent place at the moment but know that temptation is never far away. Really need to be vigilant because ironically by me feeling better thoughts have crept in such as 'I am cured now maybe I could have a coupon on a Saturday'. While I would love to be able to do that I know that will never be possible.

Hi Mark

95 days,m 5 off that big milestone, fantastic going.

Yes watch those feelings that is ok to have a little bet, because we know that would not be the case, we would get hooked into the hideous addiction again, we can't think like that, remember the misery, pain, and self loathing it brings us, so there is no point.

We only win when we don't play.

Stay strong with guard up

Suzanne xx

Day 98 and feeling the most complacent I've been so far. Need to remember why I have to do this and read Suzannes words above when weakness strikes. Time to re focus.

Hi Mark,

ONLY TWO DAYS AWAY from that big milestone.

Stay focused and strong, because the minute we let our guard down, addiction will slide back in, and we know what happens, disaster and misery.

Remember the addiction will thrive on any thoughts whether happy, sad, stressed angry, and of course complacency.

It does not care how it gets you back, keep starving it, it hates that.

Looking forward to congratulating you on 100 days.

and joining the century club.

Well done on 98 days

Suzanne xx
