have to stop for me and also my family :-(

hope all is good on the gambling front for ya. yup we need to make a life instead of giving it away.

Another good nite in chat.cheers u guys I like this site alot better that meetings. Spk soon 😉

I am finding not gambling really hard this time,i have stopped for months in the past but never had urges like this b4! I am off for september weekend doing sum work in my house but getting really strong urges!:-( thought reading some diarys might help me focus on staying away from the bet :-/

HI Scottyboy,

The urges will come but they wont last forever remember that, think them through or fight them off, distract yourself with something else, reading diarys always focused my mind back.

They are just urges you dont have to act on them. Remember what you are trying to do here and the reasons why.

Just for the next hour i wont gamble if it works say it... What ever it takes right..?

Each time you fight them the stronger you become.

Hey Scottyboy,

First of all congratulations for getting this far and sorry to hear about your urges, I too have had some terrible ones today about the footy and cricket.

But it does get easier so hang in there, each day gamble free is a day reclaimed for you and your loved ones.

Keep yourself occupied this weekend and this might help.

Stay strong and safe

A huge Well Done for getting the two weeks bet free 😉

Wishing you all the best for the coming weeks too, with commitment you can do this, urges , yes they will come and go but as long as you remain strong they will not win this time!

Keep Strong

Thanks for support lucy! I get paid again this week so that will b a big test for me but am fully focused on the job ahead which is to stay bet free! Getting msgs from guys I have met at meetings bout going back all the time but am doing well on here so going to leave the meetings and hope I can carry on my good work here.:-) how long u bet free yourself?

Scottyboy xx

Hi Scottyboy,

Thanks for your post 😉

I'm about a month free after a small couple of slips but was nearly at 6 months before that and feeling really strong again now

I've never been to a meeting but know it really works for some, if this is keeping you strong then do what is right for you but it's good to know that's still there if you need it.

You can do this with alot of determination you really can and i will keep an eye out too see how your doing

Keep going Scottyboy!

Lucy

Jst finished a wee round of golf,cost me £14 but really enjoyed it.it makes a difference from thinking how can I win it back like I would b thinking if ad bn 14 down in the bookies in past.6/10 I would lose 400 trying to claw back 14 🙁 what an idiot I used to be! No probs lucy al keep eye out to c how u r doing aswel. Stay strong and forget bout the wee blib u had,its jst a blemish in an otherwise perfect recovery 😉
