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

Day 145 & 146 over

Thanks GT for the post, and yes I thought it was me, but to be fair I would had kept going until the pub shut, not just walk away after 100!!

Wow what a day today so hot!! Went for a bike ride with the family, had a BBQ then me mums house for dinner, all in all a good weekend with no thoughts or urges of gambling. I am now in site of my next target 150 days, after this 200 days then 210 days are my next targets. I feel like I am cured now but I am not taking any chances, so I will contiue to post on here for the near future!!

I hope you all have a great non gambling week

147 & 148 nearly over

Time is flying now without betting, it is so nice to be held ransom to betting. I have not spent a penny so far this week, which is great!! I am now testing myself to see how long I can go without spending money, it seems that two days at a time is all I can manage, but it is anothner way of saving money!!

catch up soon peeps

Hiya Dave,

Nope I haven't seen Jen posting for sometime now.....I sent a wee note to another member who I hadn't seen for sometime, but no response. Unfortunately this can happen.

Great to see your going strong 🙂

day 148 over and half way through 149 without a bet!

Nothing to report apart from working harder then ever, I can see this year turning into a good year for me financially if I can keep going I could earn a very high bonus, but I have to keep focused to acheive this.

Keep going all

DAY 150!!! compleated

Anothner big milestone hit, the big 150 days. So proud of myself and I am still 100% sure I can keep this going. The stress has gone out of my life, just the debt left to deal with but as each day passes I get nearer to paying it off.

Day 155 over, 156 just starting

Not checked in for a while as it now seems to be at the back of mind, which I suppose is a good thing, but could mean I am losing focus ??

I hope you are all well and still beating your demons

Hi Dave

Well done mate on your continued progress. Good to see you still check in and keep us all updated. Gambling is really not a part of my life now and the same for you. Just need to keep focused and stay away from that first bet, never let complacency set in and never try testing the water, we all know where that ends up!! Can't be far from 6 months now mate. Take care

Keith

Day 158 over 159 1/2 way done

Life is still continuing to get better, stress levels are lower. All I need now is my next bonus from work to really start standing on my own two feet. This should be in the next two months, I cannot wait to debt free, it is what is driving me at present.

I have also just realised I have nearly comleated 6 months of not gambling!!! WOW this is amazing!!!

159, 160 done 161 begins

I have just taken the time to read through my diary, just to remind my self how unhappy I really was back then. Time is a healer, and changing your mind set is easy once you are focused.

Keep going guys

I forgot to say, I am only 15 and a bit days away from 1/2 year of not gambling , so proud of this it is

AMAZING

days 161, 162 & 163 over

Nothing big to report really, just clocking the days up now without issue.

days 164 @ 165 done

It is getting harder knowing what to say, life is good gambling is gone and hopefully gone forever. I can now even see light at the end of the tunnel with regrads to the debt.

All I keep asking myself is why did it get so bad ? and what would I have if I had not got this bad ????

Day 173 over

Sorry not checked in for a while, but i kept forgetting!!! I feel i dont need to do this now, as i feel cured, but i am still worried one day it could come back.

stay strong guys you can do it

day 175 over

Still no urges, just enjoying life now

Day 195

Hi all not been on for a while, but I can tell you all I am still gamble free. I am struggling a little bit this month with money, but when I look at the whole picture I am 10K better off, yes I have managed to pay 10K of my debts off in just over 6 months!! I really need payday to come this month though, as holidays and work on my garden have skinted me out.

I hope you are all still being strong and not listening to those stupid voices in your head telling you to gamble.

200 days is here soon for me, so this is anothner major milestone for me.
