Day 44 begins.

Reading stories on here keeps me strong, the lives that have been wrecked reminds me of the utter chaos this causes.

Stay gambling free folks

Nice post Bud :)) .

Congratulations on your 44 days of winning for real , I remember the early months quite well and how tough they can sometimes be , I also remember that feeling of reaching the century club which your almost half way towards and look forward to welcoming you soon . 

It's all about one day at a time but as you know those day's really add up :)) 

Well done my friend and talk to you soon:))

All the 4's, droopy draws.

Well done mate.  It's nice to 'earn' money isn't it!  I'd forgotten about that bit for a few years and my bank account was just a holding pen for paying off debt and to fund gambling.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks John, I’m finding it tough going but I’m 100% focused on getting through this, the total understanding that it’s for life has sunk in and I feel better for it.Im living to a budget, a budget I know will get better but only, only if I don’t gamble.

 

stopping gambling will fix many things, thank you .

Keep strong Holycrosser and keep focused on how you will deal with urges/temptations and situations. You are approaching 50 days. You don’t want   to start again for sure.
