DAY 25
Thanks for the support. Yes, finances are in a state but it is CERTAIN they would be worse after gambling. Need to stay positive.
DAY 26
No gambling today, temptation has been there as I have been bored, but managed to resist.
Temptation comes and goes and is a bloody nuisance! and I think we say we are bored because we havent found something to replace the "G". I am not an exercise person so Gym is not an option lol but I have been told by so many people that it becomes addictive and thats a good addiction, getting fit and focusing on something else. stay strong Mary
DAY 27
Yes, today has been productive. The gym helps with the anger, that fuels gambling. No real desires for the gamble today. A good day.
DAY 28
Nearly 30 days. Work today, just for today I will not gamble.
DAY 29
it is nearly a whole month - pleased with progress. Need to be strong!
Good work on getting to 29 days, I am 6 ahead of you and it feels great to be able to say I have done this amount of time, do you feel the same? But we must both keep our guards up and make sure we starve that devil that can convince us to gamble, keep going and I will meet you at 100 days
DAY 30
Thanks for the support. Yes, I am going for the 100 too!
DAY 31
Got a cold, finishing off some work at home. No gambling.
DAY 32
Over a month, keeping busy. Just for today
DAY 33
Thanks NT. Working away from home the next two days, always a difficult time. In a place where last year went to the Casino and bookmakers, cleaned myself out. This year had an urge that I could change ten into five hundred, managed to resist and had some food instead, so much better. Trying for 90 days then life....
but just for today, no gambling

Just been for a swim, sticking with the programme, one day at a time.
