Take 2 this times for real

Good stuff shorty. I can tell from your posts that your resolve is strengthening every day. Don't whatever you do let gambling back in.

Day 64....thank Michael 🙂

I gotta say, when I read diaries of people having experiences of being 19/20k up I wonder why the hell that never happened to me! Yeah I've had a few good winning streaks but never something to that extent. That's dangerous stuff for me to be reading maybe just concentrate on my own diary for a while! Busy today loads of stuff in the house to do...I'll sleep well tonight that's for sure!xxx

Hi shorty, I would take comments from folks who claim to be 20k up with a pinch of salt, it's almost definately not true. Stick with what your doing, as it 100% the right path. Your doing great.

Day 65...been out all day n now in bed with a brew watching the box. Why did I waste all that time gambling? It's the time that was wasted as much as the money

Day 66...had planned to get out n do a few things today but not sat down all morning so taking a break now and will do them tomorrow. I'm away with the girls this weekend so trying to get organized! Will be nice to have a break but I bet it feels great getting into my own bed on Sunday night! No urges, no thoughts...gambling is no longer my escape from the daily grind.

Day 67...determined to get out n do some jobs today even though it's miserable outside and I'm just as tired as yesterday. Really can't be arsed with the crazy weekend that's coming up but just gotta get on with it n stick a smile on my face!

Day 68...away from tomorrow do won't get to check in on my ten week milestone but I can say with confidence I will reach it 🙂 xx

Day 71...absolutely shattered after a girls weekend away but all totally worth it! Was in a very popular seaside resort n walked in and past amusement arcades and casinos and not 1p of my spending money went into the machines. Wasn't even tempted. Off to bed now...nothing like a cup of tea and ur own bed after a mental weekend!!

Hi Shorty

Congrats on day 71 and very well done on not spending a penny on arcades bet it felt good

Good going

Thanks Suzanne...do u know what, it felt better than good because it didn't even register on my radar. Absolutely no urges or interest in even looking at the machines never mind playing them.

Day 72...trying to get my house back in order after my OH was left in charge of the kids all weekend! Another early night for me tonight then back to the gym tomorrow night xxx

Day 73....mind starting to focus on the debts again which is annoying. Need to set a monthly plan in motion and stick to it otherwise I just go round and round in circles. My problem is I want to have comfortable spends each month and clear all the debts ASAP which just isn't possible! So a monthly plan all on direct debit so I don't even have to think about it is going to be my aim this week.

Day 74...woke up feeling pretty positive today albeit extremely tired 🙁 went back to the gym last night after a lazy week last week. Going again tonight and really trying to eat healthy...low carbs, high protein and loads of fruit and veg. Easier said than done because I LOVE my food! No gambling thoughts at all. Feel a bit of a fake on here at the minute because none of my posts are ever really about gambling! I guess I'm just using it as a daily diary rather than a gambling diary...let's hope it stays that way!

Hi shorty

I know what you mean about debts they are more on my mind too rather than gambling on my mind but I know it is there at the back waiting to come through at the first opportunity it has

We have to take one day at a time with our awful debts too

wouldn't it be great to pay them off quick and try to get back to normal (whatever that is) but we Are saving everyday becAuse we are not playing

Hey that has to be positive doesn't it

Best wishes Suzanne xx

PS

You are not a fake keep posting about how you feel

Day 78...thanks again Suzanne 🙂

Money is sooooo tight at the minute. For once not due to me losing money through gambling but the stresses are still the same!! Hopefully the reason why money is do tight at the minute will help in the future (I don't want to say too much but we are basically investing in a business and hopefully now we're coming out of the recession we can really make it work!).

So the next mini target is the 27th June. By then all the paperwork should have been taken care of and we will know exactly where we are.
