Day 31.  Just for today, I am not going to gamble.  There is no point starting up again. None.

I have put good blocks in place to ensure I can't gamble online. GamStop, Gamban and I've handed over financial control. But I'm always looking for more blocks because problem gamblers, of which I am one, in recovery, can be very sneaky.

Meantime I will not gamble today. Just for today, Feb 12th. Day 32.

Thank you Adam for passing by my diary; like Stephen, Lou and so many others, you have been an absolute star, just so supportive.  Plus you have built up a significant gambling-free days bank which is so inspiring.

Here I am on Day 33

Absolutely no gambling for me

Nope, none, nothing - no way

No chance of gambling, just for today.

Thank you, Stephen, for your kind words 🙂

Day 35.  It's occurred to me I have no choice but not to gamble.  In the strange times we're in, I need my wits about me; we all do.  Yet we still have a choice.  I reaffirm the fact I can't gamble by choosing not to gamble.  Just for today.

??? Congratulations RochG on 40 days gamble free ???

 

Forty days and forty nights our Roch has been abstaining

Determined to bring meaning to the life he has remaining

 

Defiantly - courageously this legend stands and fights

For him the future waits and he has it in his sights

 

A wonderful thing it is to see this hero soldier on 

Hand on heart and smiling as he sings the rebel song

 

Aum

Thank you Stephen for taking the time to craft another delightful poem. I love it. It has inspired me, as I type this on a strangely balmy Sunday, to extend my abstention for another day.

 

Day 41. Just for today I will not gamble. Thank you, Stephen, for the extra boost your wonderful ode has given me.
