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 😉

Well done Scottyboy for your progress, it sounds like you are getting strong day by day.

It is mad isn't it how we have denied ourselves in the past things like rounds of golf without batting an eyelid at losing that amount in 30seconds.

Stay strong you are doing great

£14 for plenty of entertainment and fresh air v £hundreds for a little bit of entertainment with no return.

No contest, really...

Hi Scotty. Hope u are strong enough to keep away from betting. We find many excuses to go to the d***l's worship place. They're just excuses. Do something fun today... Go out, anything to take your mind of gambling. All the best mate!!
