Thanks pal. No change in anything today.
No gambling is the best news .
I'm also at my lowest weight I've ever weighed in my adult life.go me
well done holy, all sounding positive and if things are moving in the right direction
Holycrosser, keep up the good work. In no time you will be gamble free that long you will be giving out great advice to help all the other people that are struggling with this evil demon. Stay strong.
Thanks folks, day 93 done.
no incline to bet today just popped on here to keep me focused, a new day beckons, let’s go.
94 days almost finished.
The tax bill sure enough has landed, time to deal with that.
Trying not to panic for now.
Staying gambling free is my priority
So day 95 , the day I ring the tax office, £4,800 the bill came in at .
hopefully my payment plan is accepted and the firm who mucked this up keep to their promise, I said this was a big few weeks for me and today it starts, will keep yous posted on how it goes, need them to agree or I’m in trouble.
no gambling, not a chance, totally focused on the way out.
*hated creeping around to catch the postman , the lying I will always regret but it’s my mess to sort.sorry.
day 95 GF is admirable, congrats - not sure if you are an obsessive with the numbers but must be a good feeling knowing the big 100 days is approaching.
Keep doing what you are doing, you sound focused, methodical and as if you have plans in place to better your future.
I know what it feels like sneaking around as i have kept everything from my partner, including getting the post before she opens a bank statement etc!
I will keep reading with interest, and wish you all the best.
Great news , the tax office accepted my payment plan.
so good to get that in place and a weight off my mind, just now have to pay it and keep my end of the bargain.
i can now concentrate on other things and keep myself gambling free.
today was a better day, 95 days free from this curse , still a long way to go but I’m still going strong.thank you for all the support I receive.
Positive thought's and positive result's Holy and I'm made up for you that you've had a break on the tax front 🙂
All the best Bud 🙂

Hi
I am able to no longer escape in my fears to my addictions and obsessions today.
Once I put a lot of time and effort in to my recovery and handed over all of my finances and started to abstain my recovery was going to become much easier.
The money was just the fuel for my addiction.
I did not respect myself and I did not respect money.
I was unable to show appreciation and gratitude sincerely.
I was a fear filled pain filled very traumatized person on walking in to the recovery program.
Today I am able to articulate myself in healthy ways.
Today I am able to be at peace with myself and be at peace with other people.
The recovery program helped me understand that I was like a rat in a wheel going faster and faster getting no where healthy.
The recovery program helped me understand how unhealthy I was.
The healthy people in the recovery program helped me over come my fears.
The healthy people in the recovery program helped nurture and encourage me to be the healthiest person I can be today with out my addictions and my obsessions adversely affecting me or other people.
The recovery program helped me take slow baby steps in becoming a person I am proud to be today.
The guilt shame regret remorse resentments told me that I was living in the pains of my past.
The recovery program helped me heal my hurt inner child.
Love and peace to every one.
