Checking in, 20 days gamble free as of today.
I'm certain I can do the whole year gamble free but mental health and circumstances are a factor in my gambling rather than it being an addiction. Up to April last year I did 6 months gamble free and had no intention of gambling, then my dog was savaged by another dog and the owner walked off. I couldn't deal with it at all and it put me back into gambling.
If no crisis happens this year, mark my words 100% that at the end of the year I will be saying 2020 was a gamble free year

Good to see you back Sam. I remember you posting about your dog getting attacked
Please think of ways and techniques that you can use to deal with a crisis.
Unfortunately they are part of life - and something us gamblers aren't great at dealing with.
Well done everyone checking in this week and getting another 7 days under your belt.

I'm still hoping that someone will take over doing the weekly updates.
It takes 10 minutes each week.
Regardless of where you are in your recovery, and I was only just over 100 days in when I did the 2019 version, it is in the main, a useful part of recovery.

Thank you. I think the main way is to keep on at the NHS for the support as due to family deaths and my illness I have no resources if a bad crisis happens (Just after Christmas was my last slip... On the back of my dog having a spine injury. He's a pug so an underlying problem but was awful being told he might have to be put to sleep). Onward's and upward's though.
Hopefully you find someone to take over the weekly updates. You've done a great job though which is appreciated.
With that said, checking in with all still gamble free.
