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

Cheer for commenting on my diary scottyboy

Yeah we still have plenty of time to turn our lives around because they one things for certain life could not go on the way it was. Things can only get better mate as long as we stay away from gambling

cheers graeme

Hello mate hope you are enjoying your week off! I certainly am and a large part of it is because I'm not gambling, and im determined to make all future holidays like this.

I totally agree with you about odds being everywhere - if we had suffered with this addiction pre internet days I think it would have been so much easier to quit without it being rammed in our faces everywhere we turn. But I think that just makes our achievements so far all the better because the strength everyone on here shows and is showing is incredible.

Take care.

Another week nearly over with not a single bet placed.had a nice week off work apart from having lots of d.i.y to do lol wife going out with daughter today so get to spend some time with my boy.:-) happy days,something I wouldn't have wanted to do if I was gambling because my football and horse racing used to be all that mattered to me at weekend's unless of course they won then ad be everyone,s pal.not anymore, over 70days off a bet and family comes 1st now every time.i will just watch results come in and hopefully get few points for my dreamteam.;-) hope everyone is doing ok 😉

Hi Scotty

1st day back after holidays done and dusted.home and get the feet up for a while before I go to my g.a meeting.been out with a injury from my football for good few weeks but think al be back kicking the ball again this week if not next.happy days not gambling is the way its got to be.

Good man scotty flying through the days now! You'll feel even better when you get back to playing footy, ive tried to play as much as I can since ive stopped gambling and found it really helps. You any good?!

Hi Scotty

Thanks for your support, and yes onto HAPPY days where no gambling has any part in them

Well done, keep pushing them days out, they will start to fly by now.

Yet another day gamble free.:-)

Well done mate only a couple of weeks now and that 100 days will be here, what an achievement that will be for us! Think we can and will definitely make xmas and our families will enjoy it all the more with us clean.

I agree with you that keeping busy is a massive factor in staying away from a bet. Also I need to guard against complacency, have had a couple of thoughts recently like 'well I could just have a little coupon on a saturday' and I do feel strong enough to do that but it's gambling playing a trick I think cos we both know where it will lead to dont we?

Ye fantasy league is coming together, I made a few shocking transfers though! Not been the best season for rangers so far, do you think ally is the right man?

Hi Scotty,

As Mark says days getting near to that big milestone of 100 days how fantastic does that feel.

Fantastic going, be very proud because you are abstaining and maintaining.

Not long home from ga meeting and feel a bit down,normally I come home from meeting every mon strong and full of strength but for some reason tonight I feel like I cant be botherd wae anything right now.i am hopeful its just a hard week catching up on me and a really early start at work this morning.hopefully tomorrow will bring a better day.:-(

Another hard shift done today,feeling a bit better that y,day and still gamble free. HAPPY DAY 🙂

Hi Scotty,

Still gamble free still winning, well done,

Push those bad days through because they don't last long.

Take care and stay strong.

Hello mate good to see you back on track and happy again. I'll echo what Suzanne said, bad days inevitably come it's how we deal with them that is important. I just try to dig in and get it out of the way, knowing that when I do feel good the next day its all the better because of all the hard work and pain we've gone through to get this far . accept the bad days, make the most of the good 🙂

Another day go,s past gamble free and I am slowly getting closer to that 100 days bet free.my life has been going 100mph the last week due to work and family time but the main thing is the bet free head is still screwed on.
