Was ВЈ50k, now £14k in debt May 1st 2015 day one

Day 98 done Day 99 just starting

Only one day until I hit the massive 100 mark!!! I am working in Amsterdam this week, so I will celebrate my 100th day in a coffee shop, and smoke something I have not smoked since I was 17!!! I have not smoked cigarettes for 2 years (16th May) so it will be a little treat (When in Rome and all that!!)

Day 99 over!!

Day 99 has been too easy, been soo busy I have not even thought about you know what. Tomorrow will be a big big day, 100 days of not gambling!!!!!!!!!

So I am now thinking, 200 days is not that far away either........

Great going pal and thanks for the support on my diary once again.

Be patient and wait for the easy single into the leg side and then celebrate!!

DAY 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a massive milestone for me, so happy with the progress I have made since deciding a life of gambling was no longer what I wanted.

Anyone reading this just starting out, beleive in yourself, if I can do it (Remember I won and lost 16K in one night!!) you can too. Just stay focused, resist the urges, tell the voices in your head to f***f and go for it. Life is so much easier, happier and enjoyable without the lies, cheating, stealing, worry etc etc

Even though I know this is a big milestone, I must not let my guard down, my next target is 140 days which is 20 weeks. Bring it on

Dave congrats on 100 not out. But you know you need to go on and make a double and then a treble century.

Great work.

I am walking down the wicket to punch gloves.

Keep going.

Hiya Dave,

Hi Dave - How is life going in the treble figures gamble free? No post from you in a few days so hope your well.

Have a great gamble free weekend and keep reading and posting.

Days 101 & 102 done

I have been working out of the country for a few days so not had internet access.

Nothing to report apart from I am still 100% focused on not blowing my money on gambling!

Thanks for the posts A38 and del, it means alot

This is really inspirational Dave. Well done mate.

Days 103 & 104 over!!

Had a great weekend, I played football on saturday and then cricket today. I am sooooo tired now its unreal!!! But anothner two days under my belt without you know what. It is without a doubt so far to the back of my mind now it is unreal, I never thought I could get this far without gambling and also the massive change in my thought patterns.

Anyway its time for bed now, so good night all and keep going

Hi Guys

Just thought I would share this with you, I am celebrating today as it is 2 years since I last smoked a cigerette!!

I will be back later to update the rest of the day

Hi Dave and thanks for the post on my diary. Well done with the bowling figures that's a great effort!

Its getting easier for me and the urges are reducing but I'm not being complacent.

I just smoked a cigarette 2 mins ago so your restraint is much better than mine. The cigs and booze is an issue for another day. For the time being I'm just happy to not be gambling.

day 105 done and half way through 106!!

Life is so great without gambling, fact!!

The days now pass without a 2nd thought of gambling, which is amazing for me, the person who lived by what time the bookies opened and shut!! The person who would drive 3 hours just to sat in a casino all day and waste thousands!!! My friend invited me to go a casino on Sat night with him (I was self excluded from there 2 years ago anyway) but without even thinking about it I said no, as my brain is fixed to react and say no when I hear casino, bookies etc

I am in such a happier place now it is great!!

Days 106 and 107 (Nearly done!)

Not much going on today, apart from work (boring!!) The weather is also not good today, so not feeling to happy today.

Still not gambled, and have no thought of ever going back again. I just hope it stays this easy to withstand it for ever, but I realise its all in my head, and I have to control my thoughts. Looking forward to the weekend as lots going on, to keep me nice and busy.

catch up soon

107,108 & 109 over!!

I have been so busy I have not been on for a couple of days. Nothing really to report apart from my wife is really doing my head it at the moment. She keeps shouting at the kids for no reason and is constantly in a mood. I feel like I am walking on egg shellls all the time. My worry is if she continues, I may try to escape and I do not want to end up gambling because of her. I have asked her whats up, and just get shouted at, there is only so much more I can take before I explode, and tell her to sort er self out. Its not fair on me or the kids.

Moan over, keep going guys
