fella glad you found your way back to the forum,as I believe I have written before when you are here you gift the place a great deal.

My advice use it in the good times as well as the bad ones.

A question that often comes up in my GA room is 'would you be here if you had funds to gamble with??'

Something I feel would be a good question for you fella,not in a bad way but in a way that hopefully helps you to see that there is no difference for us whether we have funds or not,gambling really doesn't have any place of worth in our lives.

Too many times I read that folk reward there own abstinence(forced through lack of funds or not) with a return to gambling.

The results the same

To do something repeatedly and expect a different outcome,utter madness.

Use your time wisely,enjoy your family

We all of us could live in the

Coulda,Woulda,shoulda frame of mind

that for me just led to an ever decreasing circle of destruction.

Again well done,stick around,you have nothing to lose

Abstain and miantain

Duncs stepping forward never back

Hi Scotty

It's hard to accept what we have lost but we have to put it behind us totally to move forward and away from gambling

Try and learn from it and use that negative feeling when low to become a positive feeling

Positive that we are not wasting our time and money on gambling today because the outcome will be the same or even worse

As Duncs says to do something repeatedly and expect a different outcome is utter madness

We have a saying at work if we don't change what we are doing what we are doing won't change how true that is

Keep going and keep strong and positive because each day we don't play does make a difference to our lives

Halfway through day 5 not even thinking bout betting.:-) hope everyone is keeping betfree to.

Actually good being able to watch the golf without fear of losing a fortune 🙂 happy days

Alrite mate congrats on day 5 you are flying! I got through it too was a tough one but not for betting reasons so onto day 6 we go! It really is helping to have someone in exactly the same boat alongside.

Real shame about hazza, as long as he gets back on the horse and learns from it hopefully he will be stronger.

you're right, I was alternating between the golf, le tour and the cricket earlier and this would normally have had me reaching for the odds straight away!

Lets get tomorrow done and then its almost a week 🙂

Well done scootyboy your so right it's actually enjoyable watching sport an not stressing about winning or losing. Keep up the good work an stay strong

Hi scottyboy boy well done on day 5 mate. You have made a massive step and you should be so proud of your self. Watching sports without gambling feels good.

Take care mate
