Thanks for your support. Nice to see you are holding up x
Day 37 today and I have just paid a little more off my outstanding debts. I am now down to £4609.45. I am going to go back on and pay the £9.45 shortly because £4600 is how much I did owe previously on just the one credit card. At the time I also had another 3 which were pretty much maxed out from payments to online gaming sites. I think my earlier target of £2500 before the baby is born may have been a little ambitious but work is very busy at the moment so you never know. I'm going to keep going one day at a time and chipping away at the debt as and when I can. Good luck all.
Just paid a little more. I now owe £4563.63.
Day 42 today and still going strong. The due date of our new baby is getting ever closer and starting to seem more real. I won't let my family down by relapsing. Still taking it one day at a time.
Well done Brum,
42 days of winning.
Keep strong and keep going.

Just noticed that today is day 50 of steering clear of the slots. Next stop 100 days.
Also paid off some more debt so now owe £3787.54.
Day 52 today. Paid some more debt. Outstanding figure is now £3387.54 which is just above what I owed before I started gambling. Almost all of my gambling debt has now gone which is great. Can't wait to get myself back to zero so that I can start to save for my families future.
Day 67. Still going! Baby due any day now
Hi Daddy to be very shortly:)))
Well done on your 67 days.

Absolutely gutted. Back at day 1 today. I woke up yesterday morning to find that one of my share investments had lost their arbitration case and lost me a heap of money in the process. I was gutted because I had waited a long time for the outcome and didn't for one second expect it to end with the outcome that it did.
This put me on a downer yesterday as soon as I woke up. By about 10am I had gambled £100 and by 4pm I had gambled about £700 before realising what an idiot I had been and self excluding.
So here I am starting all over again. Baby due any day and I will not allow my baby to be born on a day when I have been gambling.
Day 2 of not gambling. As much as I am gutted about what I did it could have been much worse. I've not had any thoughts or inclination to gamble since and am back to being as content as I was after 73 days of abstaining.
6 days today. Seems to be going quite quick. I am determined that 2016 will be entirely gamble free.
Affected by gambling?
