My thread change to fingal bay was a idea from wils naming his thread after his last ever bet! Every time I see that name hopfully al remember the pain it caused me! :-(:-(:-(
Hi Scottyboy,
Thanks for your post on my thread.
Anyone who is determined to abstain from gambling is more than welcome to be part of any thread I moderate. I will add you to the list in a moment. Check ins are on a Monday. Some people like to do double check ins to retain focus. If you want to do that they are on Fridays. The thread ends on New Years Eve and it would be a massive achievement to reach the end. A great platform to make 2013 a much much better year.
I wish you every success,
Flagg
Halfway through my 2nd day bet free 😉
Hi Scotty
Just popping by to offer my support. I have been in the same place as you....I did learn that I can't even bet £20 without it spiralling out of control and now know that I have to never gamble again. You'll probably be feeling awful but the good thing is that you have come back on here. You did 7 weeks so you proved that you can change things. Find that inner strength Scotty...you can do this you really can!
Forwards not back

HI Scottyboy,
Well done on resisting those urges each time you do you become that little bit stronger and they always pass so remember to keep yourself occupied when they come.
Keep going your heading in the right direction.
