Day 63
9 whole weeks of winning today, lovely feeling and now looking forward to a stress free weekend.
Day 64
64 not out with little or no urges, lots of painting to do today followed by watching the rugby. As time goes on I have little or no interest in odds etc. Today I will not place a bet.
Day 65
What a great feeling waking up with no guilt ready to face the day. Sometimes this journey feels surreal as my old life seems like a million years ago I guess this is how normal people feel each day. Whatever it is I am enjoying it and will continue to do so with my guard securely in place to fight any urges that come my way. Don't get me wrong I still have a mountain of debt to repay but as I have always said that serves as a constant reminder of the damage that this addiction has caused and will help me maintain my focus long term. Be strong everyone and for today I will not place a bet.
Cheers GT good to see you still on my tail, long may it continue. You are spot on each day gamble free reduces the debt, keep strong mate.
Day 66
Good morning diary, Monday once again and ready to face the challenges of another gamble free week. Barriers firmly in place and willpower at 100%, bring it on. Today I will not ruin my future by placing a bet. Remain strong everyone.
Day 67
Another day in and slowly creeping towards the 10 week mark, no great urges so far this week but still taking it one day at a time. My resolve and belief remain strong as I look forward to the first of many gamble free Festive periods. Keep strong everyone.
Day 68
Good morning diary, another gamble free day in the bag!! Keeping myself busy with real life and enjoying every moment of it and I now barely think about placing a bet. This is now my third pay day since beginning my journey that I have not given a penny to the bookies and for that I am truly thankful. I now use pay days to slowly chip away at my debt and just for today that is my reward. Remain strong everyone.
Day 69
Cheers for the wise words GT. Almost at the ten week mark so time to blow up some balloons for a celebration!!! Not really but decorating the house for the weekend and Hallo'ween to keep my son happy. The difference this year is that both of us will be happy as I celebrate a full ten weeks of winning. Today I will not gamble. Remain strong folks/
Day 70
Good morning diary, not much to say this morning but I do have a rather large smile on my face as I hit 10 weeks. Next target is now 90 days, bring it on. No gambling for me today.
10 weeks!! Excellent :0) We've arrived here at a similar time and I can feel the positivity just reading your posts. Wishing you continued strength.
Well done on 10 weeks, you sure do deserve a big smile on your face :)))

Good morning diary, ready to take on another week in this journey and break through the 11 week barrier. No great urges at the moment and enjoying my new found freedom. Keep the faith everyone.
