7 days gamble free, cannot believe I am back on day 7. Seems ages since my last bet. This week I have had so much more time on my hands not hiding about trying to gamble my way through the day and chase my life away. My mood is so much different without a bet. I am a happy go lucky person. A bet on and I am all over the place. It’s sad. It really is. But this is what this demon does to you. My advice to anyone is never to bet cause I was that fool in the past. It won’t get a hold on me. I am a compulsive gambler and don’t know when to stop.
Saturday and a full fixture list. Saturdays are always hard but plan to keep busy and stay gamble free. Some of the results lately have been shocking and would have you chasing like mad. Stay busy an focused. Never forget where you have been.
On day 9 gamble free. Been a busy weekend. Kept busy and watched some football. Football is so more relaxing not having a bet on it. My mood has improved now I am into being gamble free again. Betting can do horrible things to your mood. There is so many people with gambling problems an I know I am not on my own but sometimes you think no body else could be so stupid like me
On day 10 gamble free. Defo going to use the website every day as it’s a helpful tool to make you realise I am a compulsive gambler and cannot gamble in anyway. Feeling down today about my years of Lieing to myself about my gambling. It’s helpful to know I am not alone there is loads of people in the same boat we need to help each other to make sure we all bet this demon.
GF day 11. Kept busy yesterday and was on gamcare chat twice which really help. Speaking to other people who have struggled the same way. Going to keep busy and stay GF today. Good luck everyone stay strong everyone.
Day 12 GF. Plan for today. Keep busy and stay away from gambling. I am a compulsive gambler and cannot gamble in anyway. Scary reading a lot of the stories and how hard this demon is to breakdown. We must take each day as it comes and beat this demon.
Day 13 gamble free. Being kept busy with work. The weekends are always hard with the big football lists. Plan for this weekend is to sit back chill and watch the football results coming in stress free. Gamble free life is a better life for a compulsive gambler. Have a great weekend folks.
Well done! I can relate, I also snuck to the toilets at work a lot. Have you registered with Gamstop? I found it far more effective than having the individual self exclusions. It’s the reason I am currently 5 months bet free 🙂
Hi Bruce’s-b thanks for your kind words. Yes I have done gamstop. I can’t hold a gambling account for the next 5 years not that I want to anyway. I am now on 14 days gamble free. Saturdays are always hard but keeping busy and enjoying sport without having a bet and stressing out about it. Stay strong everyone and stay gamble free.
Hi folks another gamble free weekend. That’s 15 days gamble free. Kept busy an watched all results coming in. I am a compulsive gambler and cannot gamble in anyway. Stay strong folks
Top work silly boy, 15 days is a big achievement, over 2 weeks. My only advice, keep doing what you’re doing, keep your gaurd up and don’t get complacent. GF is the best way to live life.. keep up the good work and keep posting, it helps to keep it fresh.
23 days gamble free, been really busy and concentrating on the important things in life. Enjoying watching the sport gamble free and not stressing. I hope everyone else is staying strong. Gambling is a demon
25 days GF. Been keeping busy with work and focusing on the important things in life, instead of chasing the unknown. Once a compulsive gambler always a compulsive gambler. Feeling strong and no real urges. When you see the shocker of results coming through it’s scary. Stay strong folks.
28 days gamble free. Plan to be busy for the next 5 days at work. Every day gamble free makes the future bright. When not gambling life is so much less stressful. Stay strong folks. Once a compulsive gambler always a compulsive gambler
31 days gamble free. Not had any real urges. I think I have noticed the better person I have become during my 31 days GF. Plan to keep busy and focus on work instead of focusing on my current bet an what my next bet if my current bet goes down or up. Which then determines how big the stakes an how low the stakes are going to be. Once a compulsive gambler always a compulsive gambler. Stay GF and stay strong folks.
