Hi Shorty,
You should be proud of yourself 200 days tomorrow, very well done.
Yes the debt does slowly but surely come down as we clock those days up.
Keep making that right choice and keep winning, and therefore those debts will reduce even more.
Well done again because it really is a big achievement.

have been starting to slip recently and its just pure and utter boredom. i'm only doing it because i'm bored and there is no other reason. I don't care about the money. I haven't gotten myself into anymore debt and I don't think I would ever be that stupid now but it's an expensive hobby to have and it's money that could be better spent elsewhere. I had been really poorly for about 3 weeks barely left the house and one afternoon i just got that fed up i set up a new account. Luckily as I have been gamble free for so many months now i have really paid down the debts so the money lost was 'disposble' but that's not the point. I don't even enjoy it anymore that's the most annoying thing! Back when i was at my peak I could not wait to get onto the table....even at 5am i would get up and start playing but this is just doing it for the sake of it! I have only gambled twice but twice more than I would have liked. I will not start counting days again from now as i'm not bothered about the days. I just need to start getting out and about again and stop sitting round the house.
On the plus side my finances are the best they have ever been! I have gotten rid of 90% of the expensive debt and high loan repayments. I have managed to save 2k which i did not touch during either of these blips (definite progress) and i am set to have the most fabulous christmas. Next year is going to be my year to get everything on interest free credit cards with low repayments and I am going to start putting some serious dosh away to do some work on the house. I just got to get out of this hole of depression i've been in due to bad health 🙁
Affected by gambling?
