So many times but this time it needs too end. Getting so angry over a lose, is too another level.

On day 1 staying positive and determined. Been here before so many time. Plan too keep busy st work for the next 3 days. Then when I am home block myself from gambling. Sport is so competitive now and so much sport. my plan is too get golfing again and do some reading. Here is too a GF day 1

Hi ally,
You may be back but it's never too late to try again!
Dust yourself down, get those blocks in place - this time you mean business.
There's a better life out there just waiting for you to come and get it!
All good wishes x

Hey little miss lost

Thanks for your kind words and you right. Just cause we have been here before dosent mean we can't do it. Everything is in place and the most important thing the will power is here. Moving onto day 2 and feeling positive.

On day 3 had a few urges but going too stay busy and focused on my way too another gamble free day. I realised now how much I gambled with all the spare time I have now. Staying focused moving forward never back

On day 4 been keeping busy all day. Looking forward too watch the racing later without having a bet. So much happier without betting. Realising there is more too life than having a better. Moving forward one day at a time. Feeling positive and determined.

On day 5, had a few urges understandable as it's only day 5. Need too stay strong and focused. I woke up this morning and told myself I am a compulsive gambler and must not gamble. I don't know when too stop so I must not begin. Here is too another GF day. Stay strong folks

On day 6 finding it hard today. So much football and racing on. Very tempted too start a bet challange today but I know if I do start I won't know when too stop. That's why I must not gamble. I am a compulsive gambler and cannot gamble. I plan too stay busy and just watch the results coming trough. Moving forward not going back where I was. Positive mental attitude

Hi Ally,

Well done you on Day 6. Suggestion, I don't know if this is right, but do you think watching the results is having a bad effect on you? One day it maybe too much, and you just go and put that bet on. Rather than sitting there thinking, 'oh I would have done that team, or that horse', would it not be better to busy yourself elsewhere. Betting on sport was never my gambling issue, an FOBT was, but I cannot imagine what it would be like to sit watching an FOBT machine going through the motions. We are all different, but I just wanted to say what I was thinking.

Well done you on getting to Day 6, Day 7 tomorrow.

Hi Julie

thanks for you kind words, we are all different but all compulsive gamblers and don't know when too stop. I entered in the sweep stake for the Scottish national on Saturday and felt so guilty I have went back too day 2. I didn't know what too say when they said are you wanting in it boss. I said yeah give me too shots. I know it's just a bit of fun but still gambling. On day 2 again without a bet feeling positive and strong. Gambling is a demon

On day 6, feeling positive and nearly a week gamble free. going too keep busy over the weekend. taking it day by day and not putting too much pressure on myself. I enjoy watching sport without a bet on it. every day gamble free = a winner

On day 9, had a gamble free weekend. Kept busy, feeling positive and determined too do this. I am a more happier person gamble free. Here is too another gamble free day

On day 25, been doing really good. Been staying positive and not thinking too much about gambling. I don't miss it at all. A lot happier and know this is for the better. Moving forward an here is too another gf day tomorrow

Well done on 25 days &Good luck for more gfree days. Have got a lot of respect for the way you are handling things. Be proud of yourself and have a great weekend.

Thanks for your kind words, on day 32. Feeling positive and keeping busy. Watching the final. Another gf day and finally enjoy the good things in life instead of chasing the dream
