PS. Yes I watched that documentry on BBC3, was interesting about the "near miss" theory.

Think it would have warranted a slot on BBC1 though.

I agree, it should have had a lot more advertising too. No doubt it will be a topic of conversation at my meeting tomorrow night

Hey

Well its been a gambling free weekend here thank goodness. I've been working all weekend stuck inside away from the lovely sunshine but on the plus side iv been too tired to think about anything especially gambling.

I managed to relist all my unsold items but didn't get anything new listed. I have loads of stuff in the house to be sold just need to take baby steps to get it all done

That's great news And aside from new things, the relisted ones might go this time

The sunshine is overrated

Hi all, just checking in to say hello and that I hope everyone is doing well. Things going well for me, I've been away with work for about a month and no real thoughts of gambling whilst away.

Hi Madone. All good here. No thoughts of gambling for me either. Amazing to think how i ever had the time!

Oh_Dear

Tickety-boo for me, well I'm smoking weed again, so not perfect. No gambling tho.

Oh_Dear

3 Weeks, no posts, everyone OK? I am over 2 months gambling free again.

Hi all, i've had no internet for over a week. finally back up today all ok here. lots of stress at the moment moneywise but having a bet would definitely make it worse!

Well done on keeping off Oh Dear. life is good without a bet. i've just hit a bloody great bump at the moment. not even my fault but i'm suffering oh well. out of my control.

nice to read people are doing ok.
spologies for not posting much over past 6 months my energies have been focussed elsewhere.
no gambling here, nearly 4 years. Divorce nearly complete, absolutely brassic skint, lonely, miss the kids etc etc.

Gambling isnt a way out of this for me, it isnt an option, my debts are going down, im working so that my kids have a future with their dad and they can be left with something when i leave this place. No more mr selfish, my motivation is my children and also my own self respect.

have a good summer everyone, hopefully i'll post some more

just for today i will not gamble

CC - everything ok? im sure youve overcome bigger hurdles x
