Thanks Alan all the nice messages really do inspire and keep me on the right track . 2 weeks today and still feeling good ups and downs but 14 days and I am sooo proud of myself! I really am chuffed to bits I can inagine iv saved myself well over £500 in these 14 days long may it continue , thanks guys what an amazing site this is with some great people

Not bad motivation Tom, but if your still struggling give the counselling some thought. Equally Gamblers Anonymous and that sort of thing.

Hi tom! Good to hear from you. Please your still going strong and keeping the urges at bay

Take care mate

3 weeks today!!!! Come on let's do this, with the football on at the moment it's going to a tough few weeks to stay out of the bookies but i can do it ! Keep strong tom

25 days now, I have not been on for a few days been working hard at work and gym and keeping my head down . Feeling good at the minute still rebuilding my life both mentally and financially but I will get there in the end , were only here once so can't let my past stop me now gotta keep moving forward . Looking forward to Father's Day and spending some quality time with my daughter , this is what life is all about not watching irrelevant sporting events sweating with nerves and anxiety. Thanks for reading hope everyone's doing well! 🙂

Hi tom pleased to see your still doing well (very well in fact) enjoy Father's Day mate.

Stay safe

Hi everyone not been on for a couple of weeks working and taking my daughter out , it's been a hard few weeks and there are times when I desperately wNt to have a little flutter , I know I cannot just have a little bet and that's where it all started but iv done so well to get this far that even £5 can turn into £500 rapidly and I need to stay strong , hope everyone is staying strong and keep fighting this terrible illness

Hi everyone not been on for a while thinking I was doing great , I must admit i was doing fine , caved in today and put a £10 bet on!:-(

Even though I put £10 on and left it at that I know that cannot be the start so I have re-set my gambling days to zero and I am ready to go again . I feel like I have let myself down though on the positive side I didn't like the feeling 1 bit! Bit like not smoking for a while then trying a f*g again and being sick! Here's to a fresh start shame iv thrown away so many good days trying my hardest though I am so dedicated again now. Got to 100 days last time need to see that to 365 this time! Thanks for reading hope everyone is doing great

Day 2 I know it's a long road but no feelings to gamble need to keep this mindset it's such a difficult and horrible addiction , keep strong tom

Day 127 now , how time flies when your enjoying yourself !

Even though I do not post very often on here Ian constantly reading stories and taking inspiration from each story . It's going to be a long slog but I'm getting there il never get my money back and iv moved on from that . My focus remains Day to day and will do for the rest of my life I will it gamble a penny more . Thanks for reading my little comment

Day 141 still remain focused and keep working hard , for the first time since I stopped I hav openly discussed betting and odds with friends and never felt like gambling even ignoring "tips" and "certain" winners . Things are looking up il never recoup the money iv lost but that's beginning to be a distant memory . I know how hard it is but I believe it's about day to day focus and building blocks day by day . I have come a long way since driving my car down the motorway crying as I had lost another £1000 but I stil look back at those days for motivation . If your reading this and your struggling please get in Touch ID love to chat to people who may need help

Enjoyed reading your diary . I'm only 6 days clean but I can relate to your feelings I like the sports betting to. Make it to 150 tom that would be an impressive landmark . All the best

Hi Tom,

Keep up the great work mate, like pwm says, it will soon be 150 (and not far off half a year!). You seem to be so much happier without the gambling so keep it that way 🙂

Have great day.

Here I am on day 206! Never would have thought back then that I would be sat here 206 days gamble free but little milestones along the way have kept me going , I have read so many stories all very similar to my own literally losing everything well over £30k in life savings and my girlfriend so was really rock bottom , I am far from finished though and will not get complacent at all I want to hit the 365 day mark and then 400 then 450. I have totally removed myself from any gambling means even though I Ann sure if I wanted to I could find a way although I really do not feel the urge mainly due to the hurt I cause myself and people around me . I love reading the stories hope everyone keeps strong we ll get through this together !
