I will never gamble or do anything to hurt anyone ever again. I couldn't be clearer of that. Thanks M
Keep going Matt, the load will get lighter.
You're very lucky to have friends from whom you seem to be able to get support from.
You appear to be doing all you can so sit back, relax and enjoy your evening. Let everyone and everything else take care of itself.

Day 103 today no gambling or urges.
Thanks LML. Yeah my friends have been incredible to be fair, feel bad for them having to support me through this.
Playing shops with my friends children, makes me feel happy and sad all at the same time. Life should be so different for me but it will be in the future, never had so much determination in my life.
I know exactly what I want from life and boy will I get it.
Day 104 gamble free. So today I get the it's 100 per cent over text. I went and got some more belongings and said my goodbyes to a couple of friends I have down in the area. I know I won't be coming back now. The tragedy is finally drawing to an end.
Cyber hugs matt. Stay strong. All will come good x
Day 105 today
Thanks LML. Yeah tough times but today is the first day of the rest of my life.
Off on a work trip to Kiev today to see some very good friends of mine. They are great people and always cheer me up, just a bonus they are customers too.
Day 107. Waiting for my plane home. Had a really successful and fun trip, hungover this morning but the smiles and laughs were well worth the pain.
Hi firstly a belated congratulations on your 100 days, your doing so well considering the other things that have been going on in your life because of this awful addiction. The more I read of stories like yours I hate the gambling industry even more, our best course of action is to keep fighting to remain gamble free and work towards a better life and starting to enjoy the little things in life that gambling blurred. No one knows what is around the corner but I hope yours is full of better times, stay strong and positive x
Thank you anon. I know there are lots of good times to be had in the future. I will always love my girls but now life is taking me an alternate route, one that is gamble free and positive. I'm going to be the best person I can possibly be now.
Day 108, back to work. Councelling tonight. Feeling a lot stronger emotionally today.
DAY 109. Busy weekend ahead to keep my mind off the break up. Councelling has been so good for me, I am completely understanding everything and what I have to do to continue this path and become that person I should have always been. I won't say I am excited but I am definitely feeling finally positive about what life has to offer me I guess.
Stay strong evryone.
