New Years Eve 2018, I thought now is the time to start a new diary. My old one from 2014 was full of false hope and failed attempts. Don't normally make New Years resolutions but seems as good a time as any. Too much time and money has been wasted on FOBTs, so will now take the step to self exclude. April can't come soon enough for the new regulations to kick in and protect others from them.

Good luck to all in your recoveries, be it day 1 or year 10. One step at a time.

Happy New Year to all.

Thank you Marcella and Jappy for the replies, it really is appreciated. I will visit your diaries later this evening when I've finished work.

Back at work full time today after the Christmas break, will keep me occupied if nothing else!

Have a good day all.

Good luck with this! I too started and stopped in December - determined to keep GF from now on. One step at a time is so important...
