Well done, Bear. Good to read you're still doing well. As with all urges, they'll pass before you know it. Keep on track, you're doing really well and have a good future ahead of you.
Wish you the best

Thanks Alex and g for your posts much appreciated you guys have always helped me stay strong 🙂 day 62 over 2 months ago I placed my last bet, my mind money and well being and relationship in that time has improved 1000 percent it's all I need to think about from now on gambling will only place a dent in my progress and for me I can't let that happen I've come to far this time, not in days as I've been here before but my mindset is so different, anyway have great day everyone no gbling for me today 🙂

Bear you say 'had a good weekend mother in law stayed over' ....sounds like a contradiction for most people!
Hi bear,
Well done on 67 days. It is great achievement 🙂
Remember, debts will not go up if you stay on the path you are now.....only reduce in time. We all lack patience, but easily can adopt it in this recovery.
Take care
