Hi,

Fantastic news, promotion & a pay rise. Keep plodding on 1 day at a time and make the right choices. Choices like who's gonna benefit most from this extra money ?, you and the Mrs or the bookie. I'm sure you'll choose wisely, massive congratulations Holycrosser I'm delighted for you.

Sincere Best Wishes

Thank you both, it will help with my debts, now I need to knuckle down and do this.

thanks for the support 

day 16 begins, settled and hope for no thought of gambling, I like Fridays it’s a happy day

No gambling  today

Hi,

Today you've used your loaf. Get up in the morning  don't think about Sunday & Monday. Think about Just For Today. Might not feel like it right now but before you know it the days will soon become weeks, the weeks will become months and in the blink of an eye you'll reach your first GF anniversary boy.

I can tell by your previous posts you're not dumb or stupid. Must have been brilliant seeing your son getting on in the world & moving into a new home. Did you feel happy for him ?, I hope so. Fair do's you've  made some bad decisions in your life but is that a reason for you & your wife not having aspirations,wanting to get on in life and enjoying good things. Gambling's easy Holycrosser but saying & meaning I'm gonna get me & my wife higher up the ladder & refuse to let my addiction destroy those aspirations is so hard. CAN YOU DO IT OR ARE YOU GONNA GIVE IN. Like i say you ain't dumb or stupid. I hope this frank post ain't caused any offence i just want to see that metal you showed when you abstained for months.

Thanks pal, wise words and I want to keep the faith you have in me, supporting me helps, lots of temptations today but I just said no way.

i feel I’m back in the swing, routine is back, lessons learned.

today I didn’t gamble, good.

Day 18 done, been shopping for a new sofa with the wife today please, normally I’d duck it for gambling, so little changes.

Day 19 begins.

Just work stuff to do today.lots of prep for my new role starting in January,  this should keep me focused.good luck all....day by day

Hi Holycrosser,

Despite recent events you're doing fantastic, don't let the CGs train of thought convince you otherwise. Another day another dollar and for whom ?. See how the days are becoming weeks ?. Go boy keep moving forward.

Trying pal, day 21 ends 3 weeks, busy with new boss today so mind on the job

Hi Holycrosser,

Not a long ramble, just a simple question. Is everything ok ?. If it is great news, If not nobody gonna judge you, least of all me as i've spent years  fighting addiction. I remember last xmas well, little money, feeling low & being ashamed that all i could afford after paying creditors was a measly bottle of perfume for my wife. Really found it hard to rid my addicted brain of thoughts like " One win & i could buy her something really nice ". Fortunately i didn't give in to the urge.
