Hi.
There's no doubt you will have urges. I'll be honest I haven't as of yet which is weird as it was such a big part of my life.
I did use to go in the casino maybe once or twice a year but more after a night out for taxis but I use to take 20 and then leave no probs...but online I couldn't stop.
Having someone to monitor my accounts has helped me. My husband will randomly ask which I like cause that has stopped me completely.
Keep going. You've done really well. First few weeks are the hardest and you've passed that now. Well done
Checking in 58 days and no roulette machines!! Feels so good not going into the betting shop every minute I get. I had a few urges but I managed to keep myself busy.
Well done Chris, keep managing the urges.. what are you doing with the time you have freed up?
Thanks sbisstopping, I go for walks, Chill out at home, etc.
62 days now!!! So happy that I haven't stepped into a betting shop! Ive now paid off a 2k credit card which I had because of gambling. And the next step is to pay off my 2k overdraft.
66 days today :-). I'm starting to feel very content as i havent got stress in my head of thinking why did I do it again, How do i save money this month to make for the loses, etc. I can't stand those roulette machines and what they do to people's lives. A switch has clicked in my head and realise 66 days ago I'm an addicted gambler . I wish I could have seen this years ago!!
Checking in 68 days today!
Well done Chris.
Keep strong.

Well done Chris
On your gf days I can not wait till I get my life back I'm too have been hooked on those roulette machines,before them use to have the odd bet on horses nothing major and never chased loses. Since those dam roulettes came out my life turned to a nightmare but I'm 100% focus on getting my life back
73 days today with no gambling.
Even though its been over 2 months that i havent gambled i still cant help but feel angry with myself for all the money and time ive wasted on those roulette machines. I was young and free and i cvould have done whatever i wanted but all i did was sit there feeding the machines, having sleepless nights and now thinking about it I also probably lost a lot friends to. I used to waste all my money and then i couldnt go out with my mates or when i did i was always the tight one because i never had any money. Im 34 years old but i wish i stopped years ago! 16 YEARS ive wasted. Im determined to never give them any of my money again. ive been working and earning money for them! im so disappointed with myself. where would i be now if i never started gambling?? thats the question i keep asking myself. Why couldnt i see this before?
Anyway day 73 today..... woohoo!!
