Ben

day 43, start of a long week for me. working 6 10 hour days for the overtime. looking to reserve a plot tonight for mine and my fiancess first house. theyre starting being built in a few months and will be ready for summer 2017. fingers crossed we can get the earlybird deposit down tonight.

Ive already saved so much money from not gambling and this has give me even more reason to abstain.
Ben

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your message. You are doing brilliantly! Good luck with the house plot tonight.

Best wishes

Dave

Excellent to see you moving forward.

Hope you get good news on the house front.

cheers guys for the messages 🙂
day 44 today, creeping towards the half century, nothing much to report.

the lady from the marketing suite is getting back to us later in the week regarding the house. exciting times
Feeling positive despite a 60 hour week in work. staying focussed and strong
Ben

Keeping busy and keeping the money rolling in, is still better than, sitting bored and seeing the money flowing out, due to gambling.

day 45 check in,

yes steve, extra money to reduce them debts. every penny helps.

Feeling positive again today, going to watch wales v portugal tonight relaxed whereas 45 days ago, i would of been lumping hundreds of pounds on the match. i feel so much more in control of myself now however im still keeping my guard up as i know the little voice in your head can easily come crawling back saying "just have a quick £20". we all know where that ends up. That will not happen, i will not let it.

5 days from 50 days now. happy days
Ben

day 46, long 11 hour shift, chill tonight watching france v germany.

no thoughts of gambling still
Ben

Good stuff, just a few more days until you're 50 days gamble free.

Morning Ben, you are doing great. Keep it up and it'll soon be day 50!

It sounds as if you are really seeing the benefits in life from not gambling - something I also am feeling 80 days after stopping. It had become so engrained in my routine to gamble everyday or whenever I could. Breaking that habit always seemed impossible. Now it isn't and I'm looking forward to the future gamble free.

But still know in back on my mind one slip would spiral me back into that same disastrous routine so keeping my guard up!

Have a good weekend.

day 48 today, just 2days from that 50 milestone.

had a nice day off yesterday, went for a swim, then had a few beers with some friends at the pub. back in work today so keeping busy.

thanks steve again for the continued support. tommy, thankyou for youre comment, i totally agree with what youre saying! thanks mate!

Ben

7 weeks today! Day 49. Happy days. Just a chilled day today. Bite to eat out somewhere then euro final tonight. Ill be so proud to say I've not had a single bet throughout euro 2016. Roll on 50 days tomorrow

HI Ben

Hope your well mate!!! well done for 50 days in about 1 and a half hours!!!

congrats mate!!! Andy

50 DAYS!!!!!

Feel over the moon at achieving 50 days gamble free. This for me is an unbelivable feeling as i cant remember the last time i went 50 days gamble free. i am also really proud i have got through the whole of euro2016 without a single bet.

i am going to keep my barriers up and not become complacent. the football season starts next month and this will be the real test for me. my guard is up and will be permanently staying up. i have also reduced my debt by quite abit in them 50 days gamble free.

feeling really really good today, started doing a bit of excercise too, as ive put a few lbs on on holiday!

Thanks andy for youre support, ill catch up on youre diary later today!!
Ben

Excellent news, here's to the next 50.
