Hello all,

Well it has now been a year since I started my thread on here and over a year since I last gambled,

Things are a lot better now in my life and even though I am still very busy at work I am still building things out of wood and making the odd quid here and there selling them,

The garden looks great with new decking and seating I have built and also a new BBQ station so we have a nice outdoor area to chill out and enjoy the odd nice day we get in the UK,

My bank balance looks healthier and even though I have a lot of dept still to clear I am not adding to it and credit companies are now getting in touch offering me loans / credit cards. (This was unheard of 12 months ago)

I have used one credit card to pay off a high interest loan and utilitising the 0% 34 months repayment method,

We have a nice holiday booked for the start of September and I look and feel a lot healthier, (Spending a lot of time outdoors building has helped)

My mind is calm again and I do not wake up worrying about money and have no interest in going back to the dark side,

I hope this post can help other people realise that the gambling can be beaten but you have to work hard to do it and get as much help as possible to keep you on the straight and narrow,

Best of luck all
