1,169 days gambling free.

I was tempted to place a bet on and then I thought about all the hard work I had put in to earn my money and decided against it.

In the nicest possible way, I'm glad you said that and it's really good to hear that you didn't slip.

It's exactly how I've been the last 2 weeks and I just can't explain why. Just the ludicrous desire to get a few hundred out and whack it on a horse. Utter madness

I sort of think I've worked my way through it (although again I can't explain why).

Just shows we need to be on guard for life & how important self exclusions are. On line self exclusion was the best thing I did.

Back to leaving my debit card at home each day I think - little things that just stave off any chance of having a bet.

Checking in for the last few weeks.  Still gamble free, and thankfully no thoughts of gambling either. Even after having no thoughts of gambling for months on end, they do sometimes creep up on you, you just have to keep strong, and know that you can beat the thoughts.

Well done to everyone checking in.

Without looking to far ahead, keep working at it in the run up to Xmas and over the New Year.

If you were anything like me, these were always bad times when it came to out of control gambling.
