Good morning diary

108 days and not even one penny spent on any form of gambling

The dreaded late shift today and then early tomorrow

Thoughts of gambling tucked away right at the back of my mind

It does get easier as the days mount up to dismiss any thoughts and urges but I will never underestimate this self destructive addiction that ruins so many lives

I will not be playing today because it does not interest me at all today

Wishing everyone a strong positive and peaceful day

Suzanne xx

Good afternoon diary

109 days now I am clocking up I have not spent even one penny on any form of gambling

My colleague at work said to me today ( who introduced me to online bingo) have you played bingo lately I casually replied have not played for a while because there was no point anymore because when I won I ended up putting it all back on and then more

she looked simply gob smacked I smiled proudly to myself keeping my new secret of abstaining and maintaining

I read on a post just now that this person wants to be how he was before he started gambling I know I will never be that person again before gambling I have lost the innocence of what I was before the self destructive addiction took over but I am coming out the other end a much wiser and stronger person having been through the dark side of pure selfish addiction and that is soo positive for me to deal with the ups and downs everyday life brings I am a better person now for having learnt the very hard way the real meaning of living sharing loving and being loved and being unselfish

I will continue to abstain and maintain one day at a time by my choice to see what changes next

Wishing everyone a positive and strong gambling free evening

Suzanne xx

Well said Suzanne I can identify with that I will never be the same person again but as you say we can come out the other side stronger and wiser and make life better for ourselves and our families x

Good morning diary

110 days

Short shift today start at lunchtime and then two whole days off

I am going to be smiling a lot today because I am going to win again today simply by abstaining and maintaining by my own choice and it sure feels good to know I am in control today

I will not be playing today because I love winning

Wishing everyone a happy positive and strong gambling free day

Suzanne xx
