    Well this year is going by fast I am 149 days gambling free feeling good I do have a few gambling thoughts not real urges just thoughts . I am starting to forget why gambling was a problem but i know at times it did cause me problems and stress which is why I came here in the first place. I have a much more balanced general mood now I dont gamble I do get bored now and again but much better than the roller coaster of emotions that happens when gambling. Hope things are ok with everyone all the best

    Thanks Running girl yes i am over the gambling thoughts i was having at 100 days. I use several CBT tools A good one to start with is the CBA cost benefit analysis if you google it you will find it online. HOV hierachy of values is another that works really well for me  too. I find the group chat in gambling therapy really helpful maybe see you in there one day. good luck and have a good gamble free day

    Well i have made 100 days gambling free today I am seeing some benefits of not gambling however feel like i have reached a plateau on how i feel about it all. I have had some gambling thoughts when people have told me about the changes that have been made to fobts in the bookies wondering what they are like now etc. I know they will be the same logically just lower stake limit . Hope all is well with people have a good gambling free day

    Parabéns por se tornar livre de jogos de azar. Desisti de jogar neste novo ano e tenho jogado de graça todo este ano até agora. Estou mais feliz em geral e estou começando a ver os benefícios financeiros de não jogar. Depois de ler sua postagem, percebi que às vezes checo minha porta ao sair e, às vezes, em casa. Não sei se é sério o suficiente para considerá-lo ocd no meu caso, mas é exagero na verificação e provavelmente compulsivo. Vou ficar de olho nisso para garantir que não saia do controle. Os benefícios no meu caso pesam muito sobre quaisquer aspectos negativos em se abster de jogar. Parabéns novamente e fico feliz que sua mãe tenha me apoiado tanto. Tenho certeza de que você será capaz de ajudá-la mais uma vez que se abstenha por um tempo e resolva suas finanças.

    Bra jobbat med att bli spelfritt. Jag gav upp spelandet under det nya året och har spelat gratis hela året så här långt. Jag är generellt gladare och börjar se de ekonomiska fördelarna med att inte spela. Efter att ha läst ditt inlägg inser jag att jag kontrollerar min dörr när jag lämnar och när jag är hemma flera gånger ibland. Jag vet inte om det är tillräckligt allvarligt att betrakta det som ocd i mitt fall, men det är över att göra kontrollen och förmodligen tvång. Jag kommer att hålla ett öga på det för att se till att det inte kommer ur kontroll. Fördelarna i mitt fall väger långt bort alla negativa i att avstå från spel. Bra jobbat igen och glad att din mamma var så stödjande att jag är säker på att du kommer att kunna hjälpa henne mer när du har avstått ett tag och sorterat din ekonomi.

    Молодцы, что стали свободными от азартных игр. Я отказался от азартных игр в этот новый год и до сих пор играю бесплатно весь этот год. Я в целом счастливее и начинаю видеть финансовые преимущества отказа от азартных игр. Прочитав ваш пост, я понял, что иногда проверяю дверь, когда ухожу, а иногда и дома. Я не знаю, достаточно ли это серьезно, чтобы рассматривать его как ocd в моем случае, но он закончился проверкой и, вероятно, компульсивен. Я буду следить за ним, чтобы убедиться, что он выйдет из-под контроля. В моем случае преимущества сильно перевешивают любые недостатки в воздержании от азартных игр. Снова молодцы, и я рад, что ваша мама оказала вам такую поддержку, я уверен, что вы сможете помочь ей еще раз, если воздержитесь какое-то время и рассортируете свои финансы.

    Well done on becoming gambling free. I gave up gambling this new years and have been gambling free all this year so far. I am happier generally and am starting to see the financial benefits of not gambling. After reading your post i realise i do check my door when leaving and when at home several times sometimes. I dont know if it is serious enough to consider it as ocd in my case but it is over doing the checking and probably compulsive. I will keep an eye on it to make sure it doesent get out of control. The benefits in my case far out weigh any negatives in abstaining from gambling. Well done to you again and glad your mum was so supportive I am sure you will be able to help her more once you have abstained for a while and sorted your finances.
