Numero 22 over and out!...
Not much else to say really.
I'm looking forward to payday in 8 days because I'll have done a whole payday to payday without gambling. At this present time that's a massive achievement for me.
I'm suddenly saving so much money AND being able to treat myself to some nice stuff.
Is that better than spending hours throwing my money away on gambling and feeling utterly miserable at the end of it all.... Hanging on for dear life until next payday?....
I'll leave it with you to decide which is best... š
23 days gamble free š
Had major urges tonight but holding strong and reminding myself of the good life I'm giving myself.
First real major test tonight.
Keep strong moorey,

Happy days for sure buddy ! Now you're able to get yourself a real treat and giving the respect that you deserve ! Keep it going ! We are stronger together ! Woooo!
Cheers guys
Definitely together stronger!!
26th day I've been free from gambling.
I'm closing in on my first milestone of payday (on Wednesday).
It's amazing and quite upsetting to see how much money I've saved this month, purely from not gambling. Plus I've treated myself lots and still had money left over.
Just goes to show!
Stay strong everyone.
Gambling only leads to dark times.
Well done moorey
My 1st week down an feeling good its funny cause this time last week I was in a dark place but even after a week without gambling I'm feeling good so roll on many more weeks!
Cheers guys hope
28 days gamble free.
Major milestone hit today. Celebrating with a rum and lemonade.
Get paid tomorrow which means I'll have made it from payday to payday gamble free š
28 days ago I was in a bookies at 9pm, feeding notes into the FOBT's like an idiot. I felt low and that needed to change.
Tonight I'm feeling great. Far from cured. (I never will be!). But at least I have hope. I have a purpose.
Keep going strong peeps!!!
Fobt madness slowly starts to fade , he hums on Rums & Lemonade . Four weeks today hooray hooray he's told the demons 'go away ' . He turned his back and made a choice , time for Moorey to rejoice . Gotta be patient - not complacent . To see the fobt in their true light , stay courageous , win the fight .
Sorry Moorey , just ramblings of the decrepit old abstainer . Wishing you happy days as you go forwards on your journey , hopefully with plenty of ups amongst the downs . After all , the road of recovery is not necessarily a highway strewn with beautiful flowers , but we can tend it as best we can . ( Definitely rambling now )....... Over and out .
Absolutely awesome Abstainer! Thanks for that pal! š
They're no ramblings!...
The absolute truth....
Just the boost I needed going into day 29....
