Good morning Harry,
Well done!
It is a good feeling to start my day on this Independence Day holiday in the States reading your post. Good to see this encouraging and challenging message from you on your 6th Anniversary of your independence from the control of this addiction, and share in a reminder and the significance of finding freedom. 
Thanks to you and other"various people" – but you above all, are a pronounced source of strength; many here are first met by you, and thanks to the love and support that you put forth we can now look forward to the anniversaries that lay before us as well. 
Your constant message to us is a reminder that it takes not only the support of others, but it requires our taking action, us being determined and diligent, and not relenting and running away whenever our distorted thinking tells us that an addictive life isn’t too bad.  It takes work, not just a promise or a resolution; "If a resolution to stop gambling worked we would all have stopped before coming to this forum. Make a Resolution to take ACTION to help you stop." ~  colin In Brum  (another quote from Colin).
Again, Well done.
God’s speed. Stay strong.  Keep on working on your recovery, e.g. n. 1. "the process of recovering"; 2. "the return to a normal condition"; it is more than just an instant or a final act that stands on its on.

Well done Harry on reaching the Seven Year mark. Above is a copy of my post to you last year, it still holds true.
 LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G's – God, GA, and GT,  "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all I hope to continue to remain gambling free.
