DAY 4.off work today so really need to keep my guard up.

Jst been sitting thinking of best plan to get debts payed back so

I can start living a normal life without this horrible illness with my wife and two kids. 1 kid is only 3 the other is soon to be born and as I was brought up well I dont want my kids to have nothing, all because of a father that looses all his money on that s**t.i dont want my wife to think why am I married to someone who just grumps every other night,its not the real me but cant tell her the reason am grumpy or in some sort of a mood is because av jst lost half or all of my wages :-(:-( jst for today I am not betting for a better tomorrow. I am a compulsive gambler,so I now choose not to bet.

Scottyboy

fella it is great to see your resolve to live gamble free grows.

Yes get some debt repayment plans in place, make sure you can afford the payments and stick to them, by putting to much pressure on the amount can lead you back to gambling as a way out, also remember that the debt is just the material part of our addiction, to be debt free does not mean it is ok to go back at it.

All the time you remain gamble free you will guarantee yourself one thing

You will not be adding to the debt, for that enjoy it fella, you are making a life choice, one indeed that will have a huge effect on your family.

Keep making the right choice

Abstain and maintain

Duncs stepping forward never back

Hi Scotty boy, thanks for posting on my diary and looking at some of your own posts I see we are very alike. Been through it before and both of us have got so far keeping it at bay only to fail once again. I've signed up to your challenge - lets push each other and everyone else to guarantee a decent Christmas 🙂
