Iv’e done it gain another gamble free month and this time £30 to my chosen charity. A £1 a day keeps the gambling away. Now for December and a slogan .

[Nick]

Hi idi i too struggle with day to day , three weeks is easy to the non gambler but to us its a lifetime, i am doing okay but feel there is something missing ( gambling) however i am feeling much stronger mentally and physically without the after effects of (gambling) . We are living with an addiction and compulsion which can destroy us if we don’t recognise the signs and deflect them away somewhere else , easier said than done but it can be done we all can do it with some support and self awareness of what works for us. I personally put £5 on a football coupon every week, occasionally buy a scratchcard , buy raffle tickets, play the lottery, and before all the cured gamblers start shouting “your still gambling” back off i might spend up to £20 per week but its not destroying my life anymore i’m in the driving seat and i’m driving in the direction i want to go.
