Day 24 done well my day went better than expected to be honest still ga
Excellent Christer and 25 days tomorrow. Make it happen 🙂
Okay I'll try Saturday we're my worst days but I'm determined will be better
Well still gamble free. Yesterday went for a lovely walk blackberry picking with my family and today watched my son win a football tournament and I must say how nice it was watching him not worrying bout how a football game was going from the Turkish league
Sounds like you had a fantastic day Christer. Good on you mate. You've set yourself up for a GF day tomorrow; what a great start to the week. With you all the way!

Oh dear once again I had a week moment and hate myself for it
This wasn't a weak moment, it's us I'm afraid & until you accept the help that you need to get control of your addiction it's going to keep on destroying you 🙁
Day counting isn't enough! You need to get some proper blocks in place whilst you figure out what drives you to gamble & stick @ dealing with those issues. I know you said recently you weren't in debt but this is a big yet if you don't address this now. Gambling hurts, don't let it take anymore of your self respect!
True to a degree but I actually feel I'm not in that much of. A bad place to how I was. In my eyes I have good blocks in place I've self excluded from every bookmaker
Hi Christer
I hope your Day 5 is blissfully GF!
In respect of what ODAAT said, I would lie to echo the sentiments. Whenever you buckle, you've got to psychically block that Avenue. You've blocked bookies with proximity, but there are gaps - online and other reachable bookies. Ask the gambling side of your brain - just a quick question, we don't want to linger there - where's left to gamble? And let the non-gambling side close it off...
All the best, as always; Mixer
I've gone on a 30 mile radius with bookies self exclusion so hope that's far enough
Thanks for the advise it's good as always you too
Hey Christer1 ... a week in the bag! Great restart - here's to the first day of the rest of your life tomorrow - Choose LIFE, not misery 🙂
Ive had a lovely weekend with my family and it's nice to spend time and I've had money to offer ice-cream etc it's nice. Us open is on normally I'd bet and lose mad on it but can honestly say not paid any attention to it
