Day 260
Just here to say I'm still gambling free and will stay like this a day at a time. Lots of challenges but will not let it beat me.

Well done neversurrender, like me you've got it now gambling is never the answer to challenges and lifes hard patches, it makes things worse. Just one day at a time best way to take it forward it will always be there but with hard work as can keep it away. Keep yourself grounded remember what it was like at the beginning I use it as a healthy reminder that going back there would be catastrophic for me. Stay strong
Dear Neversurrender,
This is fantastic, well done. It's great to hear you sounding so positive; thank you for keeping us updated and no doubt motivating others on the forum too.
Wishing you all the best,
Helen

Day 284
It’s not been an easy journey getting where I am right now but I’m really proud of what I’ve become. These past couple of weeks had been very challenging . COVID positive results in my household and getting trapped for a long period of time but still not even contemplated to gamble. I am still an addict and will always be. I wont waste everyone’s time by throwing in the towel. We are also very close to getting our dream house. For our kids for our future and for living a peaceful life, i would always say I am just a gamble away from insanity.
@charlieboy,admin & sassaman thank you for reading and for all the support.
