keep fighting it mate. Life s**t for us both but with no gambling things aren,t going to get any worse. They can only improve
Mate I feel the exact same as yourself but think of how bad it is when we hit a brick wall which is just round the corner if we choose to gamble again.dig in my friend lets atleast get to xmas 😉

JUST FOR TODAY I WONT GAMBLE!!!!! Remember this when you wake up mate and try and stick to it,if you do you wont wake up with that ill feeling of every coin been gambled away and major guilt. Carry on not betting and I make this promises to yourself and every other reader on here,things WILL get better.we have batterd our love ones emotionally for years and by not betting we will let
them back up on there two feet and see the amazing person coming out of us which wasnt allowed by that horrible illness.keep going mucker we can go all the way. 😉
Another day done and I was feeling absolutely rubbish until I came on here and saw some awesome words of support and that's levelled me out. Onwards and upwards.
well done you for doing so well and being positive x

Hi mate keep the chin up,we will get there just have to make sure we stay away from that 1st bet and things will come together.without betting as I have said we can have love from family and live a happy life.some bad days some good days but the main thing is not losing money to a horrible disease.glad you joined the fantasy league mate I think it will help keep a interest without gambling.

Another day clear, and a decent one. Spent time with my family and got lots done so feeling ok. Only problem was I was watching some football games from last season on sky and there were a couple where id had big wins and it stirred up the old feelings of euphoria, that buzz. This would usually have led to me betting immediately in a bid to feel that buzz again, and the fact that I didn't must mean I have made some small progress.
Life will get better mate. stay strong its just not worth all this pain and heartache we go threw. What we put our families threw is disgraceful to be honest they just don,t deserve it. Im off for 2 weeks after Saturday and I have kids a lot in them two weeks, I cant spend on them what I want to which P****s me off because I don,t want to live life like this. I Want them to have best of everything but can,t do this because money is that tight which is totally my fault.
Mate all these things always make us think we can go back and control our bets but you know as well as me it will only last for so
long then we will lose the lot again and be so mad with oourselves. We cant win mate because we cant stop.a older friend once told me his son said I hate my dad and his other son said to his brother I hate him more than you. Now 11 years on there dad hasnt placed a bet for 11 years and his sons cant do enough for him.that was him in his betting world when they said that because he never cared about anyone else then.dont know bout you but I never want to hear those words come out my kids mouth it would destroy me.:-(:-(:-( we can do this mate.i am from Glasgow and rangers are my team.what bout yourself?
Last post on my dairy was ment to be on yours but couldn't be arsed typing it all out again on my phone lol dont know how I managed that 🙂 enjoy your bet free day tomorrow 😉
The season is ready to start mate,keep up good work and stay betfree.the dream team should keep us an interest 😉 watching my rangers the now,they are absolutely shocking.
Still abstaining and taking it one day at a time. Big weekend of football but not as worried as last week. Slow progress.
Yeah mate 3 points I suppose but bad game.was watching game at my dads tonight,he is my dad and best mate that I have spent years of great betting days and nights with.only difference with him is he can control it.he was telling me bout all his latest bets tonight,if only I could tell him how bad things are with me 🙁 all I said to him was am never betting again.he said is that us not going to Cheltenham anymore then.no I said feeling absolutely gutted to say it as we have went for years together.goodluck for the dream team mucker.;-) hang in mate and dont undo your hard work and place that 1st bet. A good xmas is on the cards 😉
Hi Mark
My first day on the site and reading what your post so resonates with me - how d**n low canoe get and continue the same thing. I will not be gambling for the next week or so - not because of will power but because I've blown all my the funds I can lay my hands on - going round self excluding tomorrow - you can beat this and so can I - keep the chin up - pretty easy actually as it's so d**n low it's on the floor anyway
