123 days today of winning and not losing
My nieces wedding today, Feel very sad and guilty because I can't be there but I will get through the day and I am on a late shift so I will be home most of the day but I am determined to stay positive and strong today because I know this will be the last time I let my family down due to gambling
I am determined this awful addiction will not rob me of any more family occasions
No thoughts of gambling at all today just thoughts of feeling guilty of what I have done through gambling
Tomorrow is another day and I will be glad when today is over
I have so much to look forward to in my saner healthier and happier future and that has to be positive for me to keep abstaining and maintaining taking one day at a time
I will not be playing today because I don't want to lose out on any more family occasions
Wishing everyone a positive and safe day

What a roller coaster day
Feeling guilty about wedding
Feeling awful about a funeral today granddaughters grandad (their mums dad)
Could not go to either as both were 250 miles away one in Kent and one in Hampshire
Never want to ever ever be restricted because of no money again
Have not gambled for 4 months but the aftermath of it is still having a big affect on my life
Gambling is a total waste of our time and lives and it swallows all our money up even after abstaining because of the debt we have to pay back
The debt is more on my mind now than gambling but I know this could be when the ridiculous addiction could suck me back in
My guard is right up and I am staying focused and strong
Gambling took everything from me and more I have no more to give it
Slowly but surely I am winning one day at a time and my debts are going down and I am going forwards
And that has to be sooo positive for me
Bring it on I say Bring it on
Stay safe everyone

Hi Suzanne,
Well done on 4 months gamble free, I agree the debts are as much of a challenge to overcome. You are an inspiration to a lot of us and the support you give is extremely important.
Stay strong and keep abstaining
Take care and best wishes

Day 124
So relieved yesterday has gone that wedding has been on my mind for weeks worrying me but it's over now
Work shortly feeling tired this morning but will push through the day and then relax with a drink or two
No gambling thoughts at all today so that is very positive for me
Abstaining and maintaining one day at a time
Wishing everyone a strong positive and sane gambling free day

Well done Suzanne... your doing great!
I have a tendency to over worry about things in the future to. Sometimes its better just to live in the day. Easier said than done of course. Things never quite work out as one wants them to anyway. Sometimes they work out even better! ...so am told anyway 😉
Keep up the good work... S.A 🙂
You're doing great Suzanne! You are an inspiration to us all. I know what you mean about the debt you're left with through gambling....just remember how much more in debt you would be if still gambling....WELL DONE! Helen. X

Well last shift done and dusted am on holiday now for a week
OH not on holiday this time so me myself and I
Big positive there cos I do not have to worry about extra spending money this time it's such a relief that I don't have to worry about money so we can have some days out so am optimistic I will have a stress free week with NO THOUGHTS OF GAMBLING
I feel sooo strong and positive about abstaining and maintaining and I am feeling in control simply because gambling has no part in my life anymore
It's been a strange summer with having no holidays away and living on the bare minimum and it's certainly not been easy but slowly but surely I am moving to my new life where lack of money will not drag me down any more
Life is really too short so I must make the most of every single day by counting my blessings simply because I am counting my days to FREEDOM and making that right choice every day to abstain and maintain
Pay day next Friday and another PD loan will be paid off leaving me with another 50 more disposable money
and that makes me feel soo good because we will have 200 extra this month to what we had 4 months ago the noose around my neck is now loosening slowly but surely
I will never give up giving up it would be utter madness
Keep going everyone staying strong and focused
and WIN
Suzanne xx
Suzanne
I DID WIN BECAUSE I DID STOP
that's your hard work,a choice for life paying dividens.
Many of them not financial,the worth of those
Priceless!!
No punt could gift us the wonderful feeling abstinence does
Why???
Because no bet we place will be a winning one,because even if it delivers a win it will lead to a losing one.
Keep making the right choice,most of all enjoy it
Addiction f*****g hates it
Duncs stepping forward never back
