Hi all

3 months today for me.I decided to change my user name ,infact i just put an ex in front.This will put pressure on me to stay an ex gambler but it is what i want.I am in no way saying im cured on the contrary i know it is something i will always have to work on.3 months equals the longest i have ever stopped gambling but i have never had any help before.There are some really inspiring stories on here that have really helped me so i thank you all again All the best Jeff.

congratulations on your 3 months .keep it going mate..

Today for me is one of those days where i feel like i havent gambled in years, or as if ive always been a normal everyday person. But we all know tomorrow could go the other way. That sudden urge and moment of weekness and all the hard work is undone.I wish every day was like today.Jeff.

Congrats on the three months mate. Have you seen Groundhog day where every day is the same but with a few subtle changes. When you were gambling everyday was like Groundhog but usually with no changes ie you ended up losing. Now life must be great and hopefully each day will be different but you will feel like you do today.

Stay strong

Evening Jeff,

You are over 3 months now. A new record for you. Congratulations! You have made it look easy at times but i think this is due to your determination and positivity.

On top of that you are a real help to others including me and you should be proud of that.

I'm getting the pleasantries out of the way here Jeff as City are due at Goodison Park a week on Saturday and i will be wishing you nothing but bad luck that day.

Keep it up fella.

well done jeff mate, im sure your feeling like a new man !! Keep your guard up its payday for lots of people today and the first after xmas . be extra carefull mate. well done, john,

Thanks for your posts Curley and John

The end of my first week at work. Its gone fast and im looking forward to the weekend.

It has definatley been easier for me to not think about betting whilst working.So i must be vigilant now that the weekend is here.I have now beat my previous attemps at ridding myself of this bad habit.I am certainly better off financialy,infact i am better off in every way except one (boredom)which i would say is the reason i gambled.Nevertheless Ive finally realised the good points far outweigh the boredom.All the best Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

At least boredom is free lol. You are doing just great Jeff. What did you used to do with your time before you gambled? I'm sure there is something you could do with your spare time....hey, and keep it clean!!

Take care...Jas x
