Day 25
A strange slow day today but thankfully without any urges to gamble. I remain determined to beat this addiction and look forward to making it to my target of 30 days very soon. I am finding it easier each day but remain guarded against complacency. I will not bet today. One day at a time. Good luck everyone.
Day 26
Good morning, now onto day 26 and what a great feeling knowing that I won't gamble today. Checked my bank account and still have money left which is unheard of, managed to transfer a pittance to the joint account to bring the overdraft down slightly, felt good though. Onwards and upwards today I will not gamble. Good luck all.
Day 27
Good morning diary, this is my 27th day of winning every single day. Feeling better with each day that passes and keeping any slight urge at bay. 3 more days until my target of 30 days and thereafter will aim for the half century. Looking forward to pay day to bring the debt down slightly which will be my reward for the next few years. Today I will not gamble. Good luck all.
Day 28
Happy days 4 whole weeks of winning today. Small steps towards a better future I hope, it's been tough at times but taking it one day at a time. Onwards and upwards today I will not place a bet. Good luck all.
Day 29
Good morning, getting very close to the 30 day target, so happy about that. No great urges the last few days which is fantastic given the Rugby has started. I am losing interest in any form of gambling and starting to slowly realise the value of money. Busy family day today which makes it easy to say I will not place a bet today. Good luck all one day at a time.
Day 30
Good morning diary, what a fantastic morning a massive 30 days without placing a bet!! Seems to have taken an eternity to get this far and I did have some urges last night which I kept at bay. I don't want to ruin my progress at this stage. Next major target is 50 days and if I continue with the same effort this is achievable. Family trip today so no opportunity today. One day at a time and today I will not place a bet. Good luck all.
Day 31
Good morning diary, another day and my resolve remains strong it's a good feeling watching the days mount up. Whilst the days are mounting up and it is getting easier the temptation and urges are never that far away. I will have to remain guarded at all times. Today I will not gamble. Cheers
Day 32
Another gamble free day bites the dust. Looking forward to pay day knowing I can reduce my debt safe in the knowledge that I will not be wasting my cash on impossible dreams. Today I will not place a bet, good luck all.
Day 33
Good morning diary and welcome to another bet free day. Watched the football last night and I have to say it is more enjoyable now withouth the pressure of having money riding on it, hopefully that is a good sign in my recovery journey. Pushing hard towards the five week mark now and embracing every minute of my new life. Today I will not place any bets, good luck everybody.
Day 34
Good morning diary, still going strong and becoming a better person with each day that passes. The urges are becoming less frequent and I am enjoying what is happening in my life. There is a long way to go and the debt remains a constant reminder of my addiction. One day at a time it truly is becoming easier and today I will not be placing a bet.
Day 35
5 whole weeks since I last placed a bet, feeling quite proud and happy this morning ready to face the ongoing challenge. Determined to fully embrace this journey and today I will not place a bet, good luck to all.
Day 36
Another minor milestone today as this is the second pay day since I started the challenge. Made all my payments to reduce the debt slightly which gave me a good feeling. Yesterday was the first day that gambling never entered my thoughts which to me is another small victory in this almighty war. I have even managed to save some money which has been put aside for Xmas. Today I know that I will not place a bet as looking at the debt fills me with disgust. Good luck everyone and be safe.
Day 37
Another day chalked up which was free of stress, lies and deceipt, what a great feeling. No urges at the moment long may it continue. Enjoy your day and today I will not place a bet.
Day 38
No work today so I will be relaxing with the family. Getting there slowly and today I will not place a bet. One day at a time.
Day 39
The days are starting to mount up and I feel better and better all the time. No urges yesterday so long may it continue, today I will not place a bet.
