I have started to plan not just the next £ but thinking about the future. Today is all that counts and today is gf.
Hello Jappy. Good to see you rocking on up the gamcare highway. Great attitude you have, determined and disciplined. It is good that you are enjoying your sport on the golf course and in the gym, a wholesome way of releasing endorphins plus it helps keep you fit and healthy.
Wishing you contentment, fun and happy days as you continue on your gamble free adventure.
Thank you for posting on my diary. I will check out the Allen Carr book you recommended...stephen

Thanks for the comments always nice to get some boost and support from the group! I must say at the moment all good and head in good spot - long may it last! Whether reading helps someone telling you it’s all bad and actually it’s good to stop!! One day and tomorrow we can say we are gf!
Today is a day I am looking forward to but is a day / days of risk! I am travelling today / overnight and back tomorrow! My past has been littered with days of gambling at various cities and bookmakers near rail stations. Credit cards maxed, and evenings ruined even where wins have been achieved. So today I have my plan, gym kit and plenty of work to do! However I have a mindset I have given up the pain! Not I am stopping doing something I enjoy! Here’s to a good trip and that my expenses cover costs not a huge loss!
Stay safe and gf
Day 19 I have to report that last evening I had a walk round the city and was looking at the building and not as have in the past looking for signs for bookmakers! I had no real thoughts and all good! Here’s to another day gf and concentration on the job. Here’s to today!
Ready to travel home, another day gf and a successful trip!! So all good at this end - stay safe gf
Is anyone having problems posting - day 23 and all is gf although had some thoughts of gambling to releive work stress but Allen Carr method of thinking it will only add too it has helped.
Sunday eve another weekend gf - this weekend has been interesting from a gambling talking discussion as we played golf my friend got a tip from his friend, big race sat! He shared this with the group, and two of them straight on line phones! They are not aware of my position , so I simply said oh will look later! Having a drink later in bar, the race was on, and it lost, but what was interesting was I wasn’t interested about it! Previously I would have been all over it! Allen Carr not stopping doing something that’s good certainly helps! Woke up today another day and now can look toward tomorrow and another day gf!
Day 26 onwards and upwards
