My Diary - Day by Day

Day 196 - 18/8/15

Here is to another gamble free day

Day 197 - 19/8/15

Oops nearly forgot to check in 🙂

Day 198 - 20/8/15

Need to start thinking about new rewards (and about actually having the ones that i have completed) Excited bought Paige a spacesaver Jumparoo yesterday half price £42 now - wouldnt have been able to do that gambling. OH not gambled for last 3 paydays (so far)

That's a great attitude to have want2stop and you totally deserve those rewards! 🙂 I read back through your diary and have done the same reward system for myself. Like you, did the same when I gave up smoking and so far so good. Plus, my OH also gambles and he agreed to self exclude so onward and upwards! But like you I hope to still do it even if he doesn't - feeling hopeful because of you so thank you x

way to go red 🙂 xxx - been feeling really tempted today just goes to show it doesnt really go away. I even logged on to an old site - didnt deposit though - one side of me is saying its ok to have a go its fun but the other says i must resist the urge!!!

If i wasnt on here i could have easily just deposited but i would not only be letting myself down i would have to admit failure to everyone on here - so thank god i joined 198 days ago!

Havent had my 6 month reward but want to buy clothes (just not until i have lost baby weight - 2 battles at the mo dieting and gambling) Going to put it in envelope and save it for when i want to go clothes shopping. Hoping to book in for a nice massage when i hit 200 days just need a babysitter/or OH to look after Paige.

Need some new aims now as i have been getting tempted lately again so going to focus on positives instead -

7th payday 27th August - Kindle books (x)

7 months 3rd September - Tattoo (cost £40) (x)

225 days 16th September - Dexter is dead book (x)

8 months 3rd October - Bra (expensive one that fits) (x)

250 days 11th October - £25 - 2 coats a bra and a top (x)

2 battles surely means twice the reward 😉 Anything to keep you focused! 200 days is amazing! Counting down with you x We can do this and you are truly winning everyday and demonstrating just how strong you really are by resisting the urges 🙂

Day 199 - 21/8/15

Proud of myself for resisiting last night 🙂

Day 200 - 22/8/15

When i started this journey i never thought i would get to this day it seemed so far away and so hard to achieve - in fact i didnt think i would manage 2 days let alone 200! By taking it 1 day at a time i managed to do 200 of them without even realising it!!!

Check you out on the double century...Way to go Mummy 🙂

Proof indeed that even in the face of adversity, (as my good friend Ade2 pointed out) recovery is possible - ODAAT

Check you out Winner!!! XD

200 days is amazing and you are amazing! You go get yourself some treats 🙂 xx

Congratulations on achieving your double century, you've done so very well. Keep going and fighting one day at a time xx

Day 201 - 23/8/15
