Day 59.
Payday tomorrow. I'm not worried at all though. I know i've got too much to lose to do anything but immediately transfer the money into my partners account. I go for days at the moment without even thinking about it. I'm not going to get complacent though. I'm actually looking forward to going to the races in a few weeks, one of my best friends is a recovered/recovering gambling addict (think it's about 5 years now...will have to ask him) and I'll actually enjoy spending a day with my friends and not getting consumed by the gambling side of it. I hope my partner doesn't feel that she can have a couple of bets though, I really wouldn't be bothered, it's the races, thats what people do!
I've not been on a lot recently, I guess I've not had as much to say. Hope everyone is well.
Well done clintonday. Post when you feel the need that is all we need to do as its our own recovery that counts. Glad you are so positive and staying strong. take care

Day 76.
I'm coming on here less and less these days, I'm really pleased with how long it's been, the 100 day mark is in sight! To be honest, i'm not getting any urges at the moment, or even really thinking about gambling! I know it will always lie dormant inside me though, so I'll keep telling myself not to gamble even if I feel good in myself. Just a £2 bet could bring back those feelings I used to have.
Well done Clintonday, keep staying strong and keep those blocks in place as back up. I needed them for the past few days as was on a downer as my pet passed away and thats when I get those urges if feeling blue. Lovely to read your positive posts, take care

Hi Clinton,
Fantastic to come into your diary and find out that you have progressed so much. I'm delighted for you. Never take your eye off the ball, stay positive and enjoy your gamble free life.
I appreciate all the words of encouragement you sent my way, unfortunately I have fallen back into the gambling abyss and I'm struggling to stay afloat. Anyway, I don't want to drown your diary with negativity, so I wish you well and good luck.
All the best.
