Day 142

The best thing about waking up on a Sunday is having no gambling hangover.

No chasing, no reloading and betting on Japanese and Aussie A-League early on a Sunday morning.

I don't miss it and to be honest I'm ashamed of my old habits, I won't be returning to my former ways.

Keep posting, stay GF and enjoy life.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Day 150

Hit the 150 day mark, almost five months since those dark days in August.

This month is going to be hard but need to grind through until next month as I have lots to look forward to this year.

Stay strong everyone

Day 154

Finally it's the weekend and I just wanted to note down a few thoughts.

January is not ny favourite month and I'm trying to stay positive, enjoy the winter, work hard and spend time with the family.

I'm approaching my 6th payslip since quitting gambling and I want to say life is still hard but everything is just a bit easier without the stress of gambling.

I don't have that bubble of gambling to go when stressed or had a hard day at work but I can see huge improvement in both my mental health, relationships and my finances.

If anyone is reading this in their early stages of recovery then please stick to it because as you reach my stage(6 months GF), life and the future in general seems a lot brighter:-)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Day 156

I'm finding filling the void gambling left very important while in recovery.

Right now it's winter so I am renovating the flat and that is keeping me busy, when the speing comes it will be golf time 🙂

Have a great GF Sunday 🙂

Day 168

Next week is 6 month GF that is something I've never achieved before.

Very proud of how far I'm come but to be honest I just have my eye now set to August. To reach 1 year GF will be massive.

August last year was a dark tine for me and I still have the images of countless deposits that crippled me.

If anyone is reading this then please get out this game, it's nothing but misery.

Value your time, hang out with family/friends and keep your money in your pocket that you've worked so hard far.

Take care
Breakfree

Day 175

Today is a struggle.

Having issues with work and family life and normally in these times I run to my degenerate bubble of comfort to hide.

I don't have that now, the devil's been on my shoulder today demanding I load up a betting account of some kind.

I'm going for a long walk to clean my head...
