start as I mean to go on!

Nearly through day 6 and i'm still going strong. Had a couple of moments on the weekend when I was bored but powered through it. Feeling pleased with myself! X

Thank you, Julie. I'm feeling really positive. It's been a long time since I have gone a week without going online and wasting money on some website playing the slots. Day 7 is going well. x

Hi Lia,

Very well done on a week gamble free. You really sound positive and determined. Great stuff!! Just believe in yourself and everything will fall back into places.

You can do it, you sure are on the right path 🙂

Take care

Day at a time

Thanks Sandra. I am feeling positive. Day 8 is going well too. So glad I am on the right path. Just have to keep it up! X

Onto day 9 and I'm still going strong. Feeling pleased with myself!

Hi Lia

Just been reading your diary well done on you're nine days 🙂 and so you should be very pleased with your self!!

it's amazing how good you feel after a few days 🙂 I didn't realise how much it was effecting my mental health and everything really... I'm on day 5 and feeling good, bills getting paid and I'm not adding to my debts I'm getting them down 🙂 well done again, Hollie xx

Thanks Hollie. Well done you too.

I'm waiting on my credit card bill but at the moment the bank balance is looking healthy. Normally I would have gambled a couple of hundred away by now. So happy it's still in my bank account. Feeling really positive! X

Lia,

Well done on your continued progress. Keep those days ticking by gamble free and life will only get better. Imagine a life without the worry of gambling that is where this path will lead us to in time and with total abstinence.

Tomso.

Thank you. I can't wait to check in tomorrow for the christmas challenge and to say I'm on day 10. Each day at the moment is a massive milestone and I can't wait for it to become weeks of gambling free.

Hiya I said I'd get round to everyone one on the thread but its been a bit tougher to do than before but that's a good thing that there's so many people stepping up and fighting this addiction. But sorry for the late response, it is great to have you on the thread, I've messed up my life and the lifes of people around me and I hope that atleast some good can come of it and I can try to help others aswell as myself get through it and come out a whole lot better on the other side. Congrats on the double figures. Keep it up, one day at a time and keep crossing those days off. Take care and see you at check in.

Hi lia you are doing great 🙂 hope you have a lovely weekend and keep fighting. mwah

Thanks for posting on my thread. I really appreciate your support. Here's one right back atya.

Keep strong, beat the weekend, play your part in putting the gaming industry into recession just like they did to us. I tasted normality today and I liked it!!!

I'm now on day 11. Can't believe I am doing so well. I will beat this. Weekends are my downfall as I haven't got much to do. But so far today no urges which is a good thing. Stay strong everyone x

Well done lia keep up the good work, I have tried and failed so many times today is day 2 (again) but I'm feeling determined, watching christmas films to keep me focused on better ways of spending my hard earned money. Stay strong x

Wishing you the best of luck in your recovery x
