Thanks Captain for your post.

This will be my last post for around 2 weeks as we head out on a family holiday tomorrow.

Can't wait-the first for 2 years

Hopefully i'll get to GA tonight to put my apologies in for the next couple of weeks.

Time?-Won't have any spare time, not with 2 kids!

Money?- Don't have any!!!

Location?-No bookies where i'm going.

Stay strong everyone.

Enjoy it fella you deserve it.

Thanks Dunc for the bump ooh err!!!

Back from holiday and feeling good.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Day 498

After our lovely family holiday thoughts now turn to next year's holiday.

Saving up over the next year to pay for it. It will be hard as I've still to pay off some gambling debt. One thing is for sure I'll not be hoping for that lucky spin to pay for it.

Catching up with some diaries I've noticed that one member here did "get lucky" and paid of his debts. Well done to him but me, I'll be in the middle lane,doing what I can and making the right choices to ensure I stay away from this horrid compulsion

Hi Gazza,

Thanks for your post.

Glad to hear that you had a good hols.

Nearly at 500 days my friend, that sure is fantastic stuff indeed.

Keep strong

Ade

Day 500

Thanks as ever for your post Ade.

500 days....feels good.

No thoughts of gambling.

Thanks to all the usual suspects,you know who you are.

Onwards......

Gazza.

Fella stand up and take a bow!!!!

500 days gamble free, a time in which you have made huge changes to your life and that of those around you.

500 days ago your world was a terrible mess caused by the compulsion to gamble, you faced up to it and 500 days on the results are plain to see.

Fella I salute you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duncs stepping forward never back.

Day 501 and 502

501....loved the jeans in the 80's

Sat in the bath with them on to make them shrink to fit.

Much prefer "comfort fit"these days!

GA last night was good.

Feeling fine.

Keep it going Gazza, keep it going!!

Keep strong.
