Thanks for the support as always 🙂
Safely through another day. Another rocky one, spent the afternoon at the bank trying to sort a deal to remortgage the house, a legacy of what gambling has done to me and therefore my family. Laying all my debts out in front of the mortgage advisor was both humiliating and sobering, the effects of what I've done will be felt for years.
Hi markie
Yes it is a very sobering experience when we face our debt which gambling has left us with but well done for dealing with it
Staying strong and abstaining will surely bring the debts down even if it's a slow process to start with and that is very positive
Keep winning every day to a better life without gambling in it

Alright mate
Yeah it will be a bad experience and it will hurt for a while but you get over it, use that as a tool not to gamble again. I had to go to bank to see if they could do anything with me loans it was so embarrassing seeing all the pending gambling transaction to come out me bank account. Think it added up to 2500 it was redicolous to be honest. Felt stupid and thought why put myself through this stress and heartache
Mate I can basically asure you I be gamble free come may. Cant be sure about the boro. Got to keep the faith though lol.
Alright mate hope thing are all good,av been run off my feet but its not a bad thing.not having many urges to gamble so that makes things a bit easier to stay focused. 🙂 I am not going to fall mate am here for the long hall wae you and all other that use this site.

Awright mate,i am coping ok during the week but fri to sun I am finding it really hard especially if I have nothing to do.20 days today is a result but we have to keep it going all the way. Looking forward to xmas this year with money thats for sure.keep up good work mate,al txt you info to join league in dream team if that will help you.it gives me a wee interest on a weekend without gambling.

Three weeks and still gamble free. I am proud of that but still not feeling the positives yet, though I do feel like this empty feeling is punishment for the things ive done re gambling. I mean I cant expect to simply stop and feel great, I need to suffer and abstain then hopefully long term I can forgive myself and feel better.
also, the three weeks feels a bit like cheating because I haven't really been tested yet-its football that lures me in then I do the chasing on other random sports. So my real battle starts next Saturday,the first football season Saturday since I was about 15 without a bet. Ive got the feeling of anticipation in my stomach already, I know the urges will be strong but I cannot act in them.
nervous.
Hi mark good post yourself mate.its so hard getting through each day knowing that buzz is never going to come but think of the buzz of having a Xmas like never before 5 months with not a penny lost through gambling. 😉 ####### is my league pin mate for fantasy football.i cant stop thinking bout gambling at weekends but I am not going to give in to in because I know it will like every other time end in complete disaster.stay strong mucker.;-)
