Hi, Brownie,
Somewhere amid all this thinking, you obviously thought, "Just for today, I will not gamble".
It's working, good on you, I wish you only peaceful thoughts.

Thanks for your comments xxx it's been one he'll of a journey. Thinking of taking my life. Sitting in front of Banker who could see all my out goings and incoming. Knowing I was a loser. But the hardest thing for me was saying goodbye to that roullete wheel. For 3 whole years that wheel ruled my life . Wreaked my marriage.destroyed my bank balance. But I know now I can' restore that and restore my life and my pride. Sometimes when I'm bored I hear that little bloke in my head saying spin the ball brownie lad one last spin but it's a faint voice now. Like many of you I know if I have just one spin that would be me back at square one again ... I've got no worries about getting to 100 days and again id like to thankyou all for looking out for me xxStill looking for a date if anybody's free lol..
Well done, I am on day 32 and finding it very difficult this weekend but reading your posts have helped me. Thank you

Welcome to the Century Club Mr Brown 🙂
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou......To Answer your Question The Mask.How do much better do I feel. Im not half as stresseded as I was when I was Gambling for me it was a secert only I knew about. I had to keep that secert in my head. Nobody in my work place knew I had spent half the nite chasing my losses on the Roulette wheel, Only me nobody knew I was so much in debit that at time I felt sick. I was sitting thinking this morning December last year I was sat in the dentist waiting room and for me any spare time I had I would be on my phone playing Roullete, Winning losing winning losing. Well on this day I lost 3k you know how it goes only wanted a cheeky spin.Thought to myself spin the wheel win and this will pay for my treatment today. thats how my life was. Go shopping play roulette and try and pay for it. Not sure that makes sense. But anyway I lost 3K I felt the normal feeling I did when I lost its ok I will get home and win that money back no big deal Got called in to see the dentist came out went to pay thats £55 please. I thought you cheeky robbing sods,,,,,,, My point I felt worse about paying that than I did losing 3K. How strange how wrong. Today is Saturday Id normaly have been up playing roullete now, Id sit palying all weekend Every time I played I liked to win £100 easy spin win and away,,,,,,,, But for me it was spin win,, and come back 5mins later and try again Greed....Yea sometimes Id win loads on a weekend and Id be buzzing singing dancing....... But for some reason I always lost it Sunday nite and always felt sick as a dog..At the time i didnt think twice about the hours Id spent gambling and I mean it it was hours.But since December I have free time..... Its been hard bloody hard. But again thanks to you lot im up this morning watching tv not staring at a laptop watching the ball spin. Im going to the pub to watch the Rugby come on England....Yea I used to go out some times. But I was always thinking Ive just lost 1k I need to get back to win that money back...Best thing I every done was lose that 7k last year and find this site... It made me stop and think what am I doing,,,,,,Answer destroying my life. Thanks again guys, xxxxx
