Well done 90 days is fantastic great tohear xxx

92 days Debsy ... that's brilliant 🙂

Hey Debsy. Here's hoping life is treating you well 🙂

Hello roch! I’m good. Hoping to come on chat tomorrow night. I have been working every evening recently so not been able to attend but I’m still going. 1 day at a time    

That's the spirit Debsy 🙂

Day 97 and with a well-honed focus ... that's success. One day at a time (what else 🙂 )

Hi Debsy, I have an idea as you reach 99 days living the better life.  Why not treat yourself and family to a '99' ice cream. Well deserved and put two flakes in your one!  🙂 

Anyway, I hope all's well with you and yours today 🙂

Hi roch many thanks as always for visiting. I hope to catch you on chat soon! We always seem to miss each other ! Day 99 tomorrow then the big 100. Can’t believe it

Hi Debsy and sorry I was one day out!   We are ships in the night indeed but we'll meet again I'm sure 🙂 

It's 99 again and tomorrows the big one 🙂

Wow well done Debsy on your 100th day gamble free ? 

Thanks aum and Secret xx 

100 days ago I reached my own rock bottom. I had begun secretly gambling again and had hidden it for a year. It reached the point where I was asking my fiancé for money and when he asked why I was short I would lie and say “nursery bills had gone up”. Instead of using my money for my children they were going without. It reached a head when I couldn’t afford to buy my son school shoes as I had gambled the money away. 

That is my biggest shame. My biggest confession. My gambling was ruining mine and my family’s lives. I was cold and hurtful to my fiancé and he didn’t understand why but because he loves me he just accepted this treatment. I hated myself for this but 100 days ago I made a vow that this would never happen again. 

I joined my first chat room and attended for 30 days without fail. I wrote in my journal for 30 days every day and I started the gam change course. 

it has changed EVERYTHING for me. I can’t stress that enough. For me I have felt so much happier and my family’s lives have improved too. Yes there have been moments where I have had urges. The way I have dealt with that was to come into the forums and in that moment read others posts. It snaps you out of that fleeting urge and resets you. It reminds you why you started this and why you don’t want to go back. 

I have made some wonderful virtual friends on here who have supported me throughout and I hope I have supported them when they needed it. 

Today is day 100 and I am proud.
