    Thank you for asking jay kay. Yes I’m still on the right path and I must admit life is feeling pretty good again. I have money to spend instead of just gambling it away and I’m a better person in myself. I feel like the old me again. Hope you are doing well still. Sharon.

    Hi jay Kay nice to hear from you.. I am on day 6 now and it feels good. I know what you mean about the little thoughts in your head it’s just so irrational. I feel like I am winning anyway as although I don’t have a lot of disposable income due to sorting overdraft out, I have not wasted loads of money and time on slots and I feel like a happier person.. congrats on week 23 by the way 🙂 x

    Thanks for replying Laura
    this forum is truly an inspiration.I will stop as although I was only doing it for a relatively short time , I am addicted so the only way forward was to make it impossible to play them anymore. I have just bought a new puppy so I’m pretty sure he will fill in my spare time. Hope you are well. Sharon.

    Thank you for commenting Charles..No I don’t gamble anywhere else , to be honest gambling has never Interested me, I wouldn’t know what to do in a bookies, or real slot machines,i don’t even do lottery or scratchcards it’s just something about online slots (and only 1 game in particular)that seemed to get hold of me. It started late last year when someone mentioned a certain slot so and one day I came across it on my tablet somehow so I registered for a site and had a big win and it just spiralled from there. I am on day 2 now and feeling optimistic and know I have to be careful not to be complacent, but I am determined as I am not that person who would spend hours every day playing slots. Good luck to everyone .

    Hi jay. Just like to say congrats on 22 weeks. I am new here but am determined to stop before it ruins me. I can totally relate to what you say about not being the person gambling turns you into as I am exactly the same. It really is like a demon that gets into your mind. Anyway good luck for the next 22 weeks and hopefully by then I’ll be where you are now . Sharon
