Thanks odatt, have been feeling good lately apart from today not sure why feeling crappy. Think this has more to do with personal relationship then anything, but I know gambling won't solve this. Going to keep strong. Am glad on to day 11.
Even went clothes shopping and it did feel nice I have 50 in my account this is so rare but I'm not giving it away this time.

2 weeks and it feels so good. I paid for a bill and brought a kit and football boots for my son as he is obsessed with it at the moment. Feels Good to spend money on them when they have probably missed out

Yes I'm feeling good and I really don't feel like gambling but I'm aware I'm not out the woods, I'm keeping fit and being busy with the kids.

All the best

19 days and still going strong! You'll still have down days and these are the ones which usually beat me as I question - "I haven't gambled and been so good, why do I still feel bad?" I've learnt It's just residue from all of the stress which gambling has brought and will subside.

Keep posting and stay strong 🙂

Thank you taxi driver and rednow.
Never knew I could get this far, I'm changing my thinking I won't reward my self to go have a gamble I actually dont even think about it much, my big test is nextweek payday I really don't want to ruin my progress. Time will tell I will make sure I keep myself busy next week if I get theurge

Pay day is the challenge for me right now!

I've paid of some debt and frantically keeping myself busy, anything so I don't let this little thoughts fester for too long!

I've taken every precaution this time, k9, self exclusion, unsubscribing to all temptation and scratching ccv numbers off of cards. I'm ready. When direct debits have gone out I'm withdrawing every penny leaving only enough for the few bills left so nothing left to gamble with in my account!

Stay strong and positive! 🙂
