Hi £

Strange thing happened at the tail end of last nights chat on here! There were only a few posters left and the chat had nearly finished when a poster logged on. I and fellow posters took there posts to be in jest and to be harmless. However the person was "kicked" and I presumed that they must have posted something abusive. A poster on there at the time has since said to me that this was not the case and that the admin had misconstrued things? And had been well OTT in there actions. Would hate to think that the poster would be put off posting again on chat. When they intended no malice!

All the best

Hi fast life.....good to see you are still going strong. We started out on here at around the same time. Does

Iife feel different for you now? Are you a better person? Do you feel strong? Keep going. Russ

So pleased to see that you are still going strong and staying gamble free.

Long may this continue!

Have a great gamble free day!

November

Well...tnx Ray, smokey, Russ & November.

I will bear in mind what happened to the guy who was kicked from chat the other night. I think everyone was having fun & I guess he was just joking around too? I believe that he had no bad intentions whotsoever he understands chat rules and I am sure he would never not take a person's gambling problems seriously.

Well diary I was out in Leicester sq last night with some friends from uni & was quite drunk as I do not usually drink...I seemed to notice a couple of glamourous casinos & was very suspicious at the goings on...Fortunately my mates know my story....I told them I felt like going in too see people losing money? They told me no way you will lose yours....To which I swiflty replied I will win but sadly after that first win I will be doomed....I hope any 1 who reads this will understand...That I have never in my life been to a casino...So, I am bound to be suspicious when I see one with the doors wide open.....(I still lost a fortune & never been to a casino?) How is that possible? I dont know 🙁

Fast li£e

Hi Fastlife

You got good friends there!

You've never been to a casino -that's good. Keep it that way. Nothing to be gained for you in those places. YOU CAN'T WIN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP.

Stay strong -life is better without the bet!

All the best,

Hi fast life, you took me back with your post. When I was down in London for meetings/events, I would often make my excuses and leave before the end of the night. Guess where I was heading....yep Leicester square. Some nights I would do ok and others I would have a mare. I can remember one night doing the walk from Leicester square all the way back to London bridge where I was staying. I had maxed the card and didn't have a penny on me for the cab or bus! Anyway, don't go in.....even if you are tempted to see people lose. Us compulsive gamblers will always be just that....compulsive gamblers. Russ

thanks for the post my friend 😉 shows how far youve come as well to have avoided that casino...i maybe a few weeks in front of you but as long as WE abstain one day at a time who cares...BOTH of us are winning mate...well done on your continued progress we can do this 🙂

Hi guys,

its me again! Just like to say you lot are great guys...I dont think I can get by without the support!?....

Tnx you once again....Sorry to hear about Smokey33? I dont understand what is going on....I read something on the gambling commision which I am sure he mentioned...That guy has got me thinking...They were talking about the B2 graded machines (FOBTS) & saying that the problems they have caused should be reviewed in parliment pretty soon...NHS has a clinic (new) in soho.....Also, they are thinking about breaking gameplay (when I read this last night it reminded me of Smokey? dont kno y just think he mentioned it?)..."Like an interruption of gameplay"..to slow you down from the crak C*****e of gambling!

I am certain a reformed gambler will not need these measures whotsoever!! Stay strong.

Fast li£e

Same as you mate...dont think could get by without this site...keep at it we can do this 😉

Hi FL,

So glad that you are finding this site really useful - I am too!

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Getting there
