Double figures Christer - excellent. You've secured a foothold in your ascent up the mountain. You are realising -it's starting to sink in - that going GF is not a choice, because choosing misery isn't a choice. You're actually deciding to be free of this - and you ARE free! Every day, just remind yourself that you are Free. If you think about gambling just feel elated that you're free of it, and don't have to do it anymore!

Hi Christer - by my calculations you've hit Day 25 today. Keep going; keep reminding yourself why you're doing this: because you want to live a full life, for you and your loved ones and friends (who just love the 'real' Chris!). You're not going down the misery road.

Keep strong; you are showing strong character here. Respect.

That is just the ticket Christer; just want we all want to hear. You are taking this seriously and seeing the results! Looking forward to you hitting Striver level in a couple of days - a level that proves your intent. No going back now, day by day, this really can be the making of you, and the making of your better future.

Hi Christer, your GF total is up to 29 days which means striver status tomorrow. Looking forward to that; you're proving you mean business.

Congratulations, Christer. You are a Striver, for the first, and last, time. Day by day, just remind yourself of the simple binary choice. Happiness/Misery. Gamble Free/Gamble Misery. Paydays will come and go, let them, and remind yourself that money is bloody hard earned. And that is that.

Well done, mate.

A pleasure Christer and enjoy that money jangling in your pocket, extra notes an' all. This is the life. Gambling? You've moved on from that. Left it behind. Day by day, you simply remind yourself of that fact, Gambling was the 'old ' you. Amen to that 🙂
