Just been reading through your diary mate, it's good to see somebody who is truly honest with themselves good luck with quitting gambling and getting in the gym! how's the no smoking going I invested in a vape pen 3 days ago and it's doing the trick!

Hi harry and Oldham thanks for the post. I'm going to self exclude from newest site tomo when I've got time and i won't go back to the casino didn't really do anything for me really. Been reading sirgamblenots diary tonight and it was really inspiring he went to stop gambling after a big loxss whilst at uni and stopped completely for five years now. I really want to be like that. I'm going to the gym tomo to start my 365 miles in a year jog. I'm also starting my new diet tomo plenty of fruit vegtables protein instead of sandwiches and crisps for lunch hopefully its the start of a healthy 2016. I'm also doing a course on money management at the mo which should help. Over and out

So just added up what I've spent on gambling since I've been on this site 775 pounds in six months so 130 pounds a month ten percent of my wages. Now to get it down even more.
