Thanks AL , you have always been so supportive, just been for a long walk , the contemplating “walk” we’ve all had, the never again talk to ourselves.

No excuses but I need to consider GA in the future but for now it’s a time to reflect and change a few habits and get back to how I was doing this time almost last year.

my gambling free days start tomorrow for the count but since 1130am today I have not gambled.Planning to get out on Sunday , sat in the house too much , gladly online is covered, Gamstop has been rock solid.

another line drawn.

Day 1 begins, already planned to go to the local market with OH .

today I won’t gamble, it’s ruined lives

I hope you have a good day HC. 

Take care of you.

Sorry you had a fall HC but great to see you back on your feet and here amongst your friends.

Wishing you well in everything you do and hope that you find what your looking for.

Take good care if yourself my friend. You have suffered for far too long and deserve better.

Thank you , suffer is a great word for it, it changes the person I really am.This disease changes me and never ever helps me, time is running out.I go again, few twitches in the last hour but I’m away out now so I will be ok.

We learn from our mistakes.

We say we don't when we have a blip and we beat ourselves up about it.....but we learn.

You've come a long way and the fact you recognise blips without doing too much harm is a battle won.  Head down and go again.  No lecture needed from on anyone on here.... the fact that we are here and talking means we know the drill. Keep moving forward.

thanks pal.

day 2 survived, done a lot of soul searching today.

roll on to a gambling free life, time to change .

Morning folks, I feel back, day 3 my determination feels strong

Hi HC,

Well done so far. Don't beat yourself up about previous slip we're all human & sometimes we screw up. You talked earlier about changing habits, if it's any help i haven't bought a newspaper for 17 months, I wasn't interested about reading about Brexit or the riots in Hong Kong, it was natural instinct for me to turn straight to the horse racing & football pages & start wondering about the odds on offer. If at all possible leave debit card at home & take the minimum you'll need for work like dinner money. Trust me life's so much better without gambling, I love Joydividers posts & he rightly describes it as a tax on joy. That's exactly what it is.

Best Wishes

Thanks AL as ever you inspire me.

im going to delete a BBC app from my phone, I still used to check racing results even while doing brilliant.Good advice on habits , I’ve got to stop it.
