Chilled on the beach , life is fine
Day 127 .
back from honeymoon and all is ok, back to keeping on track.
the gambling life is not one I ever need now.
Day128 begins.
Back into the routine, any urges to gamble have not been around for a few weeks now, other big life events have taken over but they are all done now.ive nothing to keep me 100% focused.danger ahead so a time I need to plan again and be wary of the monsters.
I promised I would never gamble again.stay on it.
Day 130.
life goes on, gambling free, no stress
love it, I’m in a routine of life that doesn’t involve on line gambling or betting shops, I now have time to enjoy things, pay for expensive meals out like last night...I enjoyed paying for it.
what a difference
I look back at my first post and remember that day early in March when I last walked into a bookies and lost my last £40 that wasn’t even mine.
i look how far I’ve come, how settled I’ve become, the difference in my home life is immense.
im not out of debt, but I had a plan mapped out, a one I could survive if I just don’t gamble, one if I sticked to would get me debt free then be able to fully have the life I’ve always ways wanted, it’s still a few years off but I’m starting to see light, I’m starting to act better, I’m starting to believe.
Day 131
Another Friday reached and out with friends tonight at a house party.rain forecast not good but it should be a laugh.
Stay away from bookies, key.

Thanks for the support.
every day is a challenge to us, I will never ever think I’ve beaten this, you can’t , however I can stop gambling, I can make the choice to never enter a bookies again.
i can be part of a stress free me, it’s going ok but still a massive long road for life ahead.
glad to still be on that road.
Day 133 begins.
nothing planned, walked the dog may go for lunch with the wife.no intentions of gambling.
mugs game
Just feel compelled to say it HC, really feel you get it, “a mugs game”.
I can only speak from experience but there comes a time when it isn’t a challenge anymore, we just simply live our lives. We start to move forward with a different perspective or even, dare I say it, a normal perspective on life.
We had a few days away last week at one of the local seaside resorts, I made a conscious effort to ensure the family and wider family never visited the arcades, and do you know what, even though the little one grumbled a fair bit he accepted it. We enjoyed many, many activities, over the few days and it didn’t involve waging one penny. Whilst it may seem over the top for some, I do see the same character traits within him and for me stemming this at an early age is the right option, I just wish my parents and grandparents had just been so open and forward looking with me.
Keep up the good work. I always read your posts with interest.
I agree.i ALWAYS kept gambling away from my kids.As I've explained I know they do it, I've seen them have apps on their phones but I'm praying it never becomes a problem.One lad I know wonrt but one I need to keep an eye on.
My parents had me around gambling all my life, it's how I got into it sadly. The rest was me getting into debt by which time it had me in truth.
It's now my turn to put it right, I had the chance 10 years ago but I never realised I was a CG , i do now and i know i can NEVER EVER bet again.
It's the only way.
A new day begins.a new week

Day 135 begins.
the sun is shining, second payment of my tax bill is due and payment by the company that messed it up has arrived again, so far so good.i can breathe another month.
feel like I’m waiting for things to go wrong in my life, they aren’t, I’m feeling settled but always on my guard.
again I googled “new gambling sites “ yesterday, bored at work, no idea why I do it.
Day 139
all well, can this life be too good.
