Thanks Steve and no maybe.

Julie, thanks for your support, and for letting me know Gazza is doing well, I appreciate it.

Good morning diary,

168 days today, that makes 24 weeks today of not spending a single penny on any form of gambling.

Must say diary it seems soo much longer and yet it only seems like yesterday that I played the slots in a way.

Only a week ago I wrote how boring gambling was now, and yet 2 days ago it was there at the front of my mind, and it was telling me it was definitely not boring to play and deposit a tenner.

Those thoughts have retreated to the back of my mind again, even though it's Monday and my day off.

It's a dark cold day out there, but I am feeling strong and in control again to carry on making that right choice to keep abstaining and maintaining one day at a time.

Triangle in place guard tightly up, I WILL win today, because I have no intention of playing today.

Wishing everyone a positive strong and happy gambling free day.

Good morning diary,

169 days of not spending even one single penny on any form of gambling.

Work shortly, but a short day, so feeling quite good this morning.

Feeling stronger and no thoughts at all this morning.

Onwards and upwards and I feel very positive to say I will not be playing today, why on earth would I want to lose, well I don't. I want to carry on winning.

Wishing everyone a positive happy and calm gambling free day.

Duncs stepping forward never back

Hi Suzanne

Well done on 169 days a great achievement indeed. Ty for continued support and hope the demon urges have now left you alone again. It must be scary after so many days but good for you showing strength and determination not to give in. As said before you are one of the reasons I log on daily to read your diary. Hope your day was not too busy, keep safe and stay focused as I know you will

Take care and best wishes

Good morning diary,

170 days of winning and not feeding that horrendous addiction.

Full of a heavy cold and chesty cough this morning, that has kept me awake half the night, but it sure feels 100% better than being kept awake by the aftermath of gambling.

Long day at work, but will push through the day with the positiveness of knowing that I am gamble free and feeling strong to keep abstaining and maintaining.

Wishing everyone a positive and strong gambling free day.

Morning Suzanne.

170 days is amazing.

Can't wait for your next big milestone.

Hope you feel better soon.

Have a great day.

Hi Suzanne,

Well done on 170 days!

Glad to see the urges didn't hang around too long.

We are still learning as we go on this Recovery. We are definitely on the right path.

Take care,
