250 days. nice one!

Can i ask how it's changed you as a person?

Are you happier, or do you miss gambling?

Do you actually physically feel better without the shame and guilt?

Good luck for the next 250!

Day 251,252 (36 weeks) and 253

Thanks Gents for your posts.

Joe's post made me reflect on my recovery-

Yes i'm happier as a person but i do still carry a lot of shame and guilt-i'm not sure that they'll completely go away.

I don't think about gambling nor do i miss it.

I don't want to let my family down again so gambling is not an option.

Gambling has wrecked my confidence in many ways but I'll continue to try and right the wrongs and build up trust and try and get back to being a "good " partner, Father and person.

Gazza.

Fella I can see through your shear determination that those three things grow each day you make the choice to better tomorrow.

Just for today fella be very proud.

Duncs stepping forward never back.
