Hey Mate,
Really well done on the 12 weeks mate definitely the way forward. 🙂
Glad to see you have joined us on the new challenge which will hopefully push us to be gamble free into the new year 2013. Just think going into that year gamble free will just be amazing.

after going to chat tonight i realised
i have beaten day 86 and for me that is great news because it means i have passed my first target which was 85 days, its sad really because that means in my whole adult life this is the longest i have been gamble free, im now 33 i won on my first visit on my eighteenth birthday at a bookies and never really looked back
until 2012 in particular july 25th the day everything came to a stand still and i hit rock bottom. on reflection i started because i worked nights and every weekend so my mates and family were out enjoying themselves and i was working away when it came to me having time off they were all at work because it was weekday afternoons so i hit the bookies and i got hooked.i lost 3 uncles, my dad and my brothers wife all in under 6 month, so my reasoning and values have changed from gambling to what really matters in life and im going to enjoy it to the full now.
records are there to be broken, one that i have done is for first time in my adult life i havent had a bet on the football on opening day of football season, the next one i am targeting is to have a christmas and new year bet free.
