Had a wobble this week got really down after the slow progress with weight loss even tho I've been Training like crazy the last few weeks. Started to think what's the point but luckily came to my senses gambling wouldn't have helped anything. Changed my diet around and a good training session tonight and feel a bit better. Hopefully will see some weight loss on weigh in on saturday
Just checking in guys, day 141 still gamble free. No real urges and life seems a long way away from what it was last year. Long may it continue
Came seriously close to stopping at the bookies on the way home today, really unsure where the urge came from but had to really dig deep and battle not to go and gamble. Crazy really as I haven't though about it for ages, luckily I managed to pull myself round but thus has scared the life out of me as usually when this happens the thoughts are creeping back in. I don't want to gamble things are so much better and need to continue to be strong.
175 days gamble free today almost at 6 months. Hope you all have a great gamble free weekend
Hi Crossintheroad,
well done for 175 days gamble free, that is a massive achievement.
Keep posting, keep focussing and keep on the road to recovery!
All the best,

223 days gamble free and the first major sporting event event in the last 17 years which I have not placed about 500 bets on. Don't get me wrong I was tempted even dreamt about it last night but will just enjoy this event for what it is not what I could dream I could win. Hope you guys are all well
Well done crossintheroad. The urges will come and go what is important is if you do not place that first bet and allow the mayhem to ensue. Keep it up, 223 days is amazing. Enjoy the football for what it is, a game of pleasure not pain!
Good to hear from you, glad you are still GF, first WC with no bets for me too. I plan to enjoy this one for the pure love of the game.
