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

s**t, has hell frozen over 😉 Seriously though, that's fantastic news 🙂

I read about the footy & the cricket...Can you maybe jack something up for the quiet days so you don't find yourself with too much time on your hands? Obviously you're a few years older than you were in 2011 but I hear there are some great veteran clubs 😉

Day 80 done 81 begins - I am trying to keep myself busy ODAAT, but good idea re the sport. Still not gambled and really not interested at all currently long may it continue??!!?!

Day 81 - I have without a doubt passed my biggest test today so far, I had to park in my room ltd casino carpark and then walk through the reception to come out, I asked myself why not just Pop in. Then called myself an idiot and jUst kept walking. So proud of myself, and still gamble free!! Have a good night all

Day 82- easy day today, and long may that continue. I really hate my gambling past,most of all o hate the debt I have, but I will one pay this off. Sleep well guys

Day 83 - no thoughts at all today, but I have been offered a chance to make some extra money in the coming weeks, so hopefully I can do this and start getting rid of my credit cards!! Very relaxed today about everything to do with debt and gambling, it's funny how our emotions are up and down like this, or is it just me?? Have a good night all

Day -84. As suggested yesterday my emotions are up and down, so today I am working away staying in a hotel and this afternoon I could not stop thinking about gambling. It took a lot of will power to not go the bookies round the corner or the casino half a mile away. Luckily for me I do not feel to good so it made me stay in my room, otherwise who knows what would have happened. I also got paid yesterday so I think the cycle of money time location started to kick in, luckily I could not leave the hotel so location broke the cycle. I really must stay in control and be on my guard, I can't go back again.

Day 85 done, 86 begins - went out for a few beers last night witH some of the other dads from school, and hearing one of them boost of the money and properties he had scattered around, then saying money didn't make him happy I asked him the question, have you ever been in debt and had no money? His reply was no, my parents had money and I have money. I couldn't help but say, until you have been in debt with no money, can you realise money can make you very unhappy. He totally agreed with me, so money can make you unhappy, but it can't make you happy? He said that the reason it can't make you happy is you always want more money. Very much like what we do when gambling, it can never make you happy as you always want more!! Keep going people together we can win

Day 86 - apart from the weather being horrible and making me feel rubbish today, it has been a good day as I haven't gambled. Everyday is a battle still, but as long as I keep reminding myself of how I felt 86 days ago, it helps me to stay away from the dangers of gambling. I have to face the fact that I will have to fight this everyday for the rest of my life

Day 87 done, 88 half down!! Had a great day yesterday played footy and then got drunk!! Today is KFC and sofa day, as too tired to do anything, which is great for the no gamble to continue. Have a good day all and stay gamble free

Day 89 - I have just changed the name of my post, to remind myself how much debt I have. This is to try and make me remember how bad things have been for me. I am now on day 89 of my 2nd attempt to quit, and again today has passed easily. I know I have to stay alert to my mind set, as I know it goes up and down all the time, this is my biggest danger to going back for sure. I hope you all have a gamble free day!!

Day 92 - just over the 13 week mark!! And nearly at the 100 days. I am off on holiday today abroad and not back for 2 weeks so I will celebrate 100 days over there. I will be with my family with no access to a casino or bookies so I know I will come back well into my 100's still gamble free. I will try and pop in to update as i can, but if I can't then please all have a safe gamble free two weeks. Remember winning is stopping

Well done Dave!

keep it going, this time when you get over 2 years just keep sticking at it, just keep taking 1 day at a time

for me its the start of the journey, first counselling session next week. Strong mental attitude and ill be where you are, 92 days down the line!

That's the attitude !! Set yourself a target and go for it. I have had lots of counceling over the years, it is good to do it, go there and open up don't hold back. I wish you good luck
