Hi Dave,

It made me smile 2 read how much you have saved for your children, wot a gr8 idea and also and inspiration to stay strong. I think you are doing amazing, I am very proud of u 🙂

I know it is a bit early but I don't post as much nemore, 2 busy with work and Maddison. So I wanted to say have a great Christmas and enjoy the special day with ur family. U deserve nothing but happiness xx

Hi Dave,

Congrats on the good progress you've made in the last month and a half. I love your idea on how to motivate yourself not to gamble. You know why you need to avoid it, and tracking what you've put away for the kids is a great way to keep that motivation at the forefront of your mind.

Day 45,

A big thank you to Charlotte, Emily and Ryan. It really is a great boost to log in and see people rooting for you.

I promise to reply to you guys tomorrow and I really hope that you are all well. I am still gambling free. The children are both fast asleep but my mum and dad are staying tonight so I'd better go and cook them some tea!

Best wishes to all.

Dave

Day 46,

My mum and dad have gone home so relaxing with the children before bath and bed. I can never tell them about my addiction as it would destroy them.

I hope that everyone has a great, gambling free weekend.

Best wishes

Dave
