Volcano thanks for your reply!

Ronaldo is the best and you know that:)

anything is possible but I am sure that I don't want to gamble and I will not gamble!! I am sure of that. I said that because we are humans and our mind and way of think is always changing but I am focus not to gamble:)

Spot on Ivo, our mind is always evolving and by getting rid of the bad stuff ie gambling, it's evolving the way it should.

Have a good day and yep, agreed Ronaldo now is joint best player in the world 😉

Day 99 gamble free!

proud to reach this number but my life is going bad with my girlfriend!

I didn't tell her about my debt and today she found and i feel really bad and I don't have any idea if she will forgive me:/

I have this debt because of my gambling actions, I don't want to gamble again and is destrying my life what I did and everything around my gambling adiction! I was ashamed to tell her and I didn't tell the truth and was another bad step in my life:(

everyday is a lesson and I hope to learn again( saying again because I am always doing mistakes).

i know I am really positive person but sometimes I feel really weak. All my life I tried to ommited my actions( goods and bads) and it feels is still in my blood ! I will fight against that !

i have a baby on the way, don't know my future with her but I will fight to give to them an amazing life, because they deserve and so do I!

hope you are doing well in your recovery and have a good weekend!

Congratulations on 100 days. It sounds like it's time to sit down with your girlfriend and explain all that has been going on for the last 100 days and what got your hear. Be honest and frank with her transparency is the key now get everything and I mine everything out in the open. You don't want to be in this position again where one of your secrets comes out and bites you in the a**e.

Thanks Ben!

today is my day 151 GF!

When I started i never thought that I will be 151 days gf but at the moment I am proud of what I did till now!

I am paying my debt, is now £3800, so I paid 1200 till now!

I have £2600 in my bank account and I I paid mine and my girfriend holidays in Greece, our flight tickets to Portugal in July and I paid my tickets to go in August!

Imagine if I was still gambling?

I woul owe £5000 or more, day 20 of the month I was doing the countdown to payday because I was with nothing for sure.

It is not easy to stop but worth it!

have a lovely Gf week
