Day 13 – One of if not the easiest day so far, out for dinner and drinks with friends after work kept my mind occupied. I feel like gamstop is a major factor in my success so far as even if i was to get an urge i would simply not be able to do anything about it. I think tomorrow will be my biggest test to date. My team are in the cup final and i have given thought for the opposition to lift the trophy at 5/2 and maybe £50/100 on it to console and dissapointment of getting beat, i usually see this as a “win/win”. It will be tough but i need to remember how far i have come and not to slip now. Day 13 complete, £0.00 spent 🙂

Day 12 –
Happy happy happy. Worked until 10pm tonight, on a night where before i would have spent probably £40/50 in work on betting due to late shift being quiet. Europa league games such as arsenal would have drawn me into request-a-bets and all sorts. Not today. Not again. Another day done, Day 12 complete £0.00 spent 🙂

Day 11- I played football for the first time in about a year, in a small 6-a-side league weve just entered. keeping minds busy will help keep me right on track, my team won tonight i watched it without even considering a bet. Working the late shift tomorrow, usually would spend £40ish as work can be quiet, tomorrow will be different!! Day 11 complete my friends, £0.00 spent 🙂

Day 10-
Day 10 complete, more football on lastnight no urges what so ever. Its still early days, there is a long way to go and i have to keep going day by day but feeling much much better already. My team are in the cup final on sunday, i feel like this will be my biggest test so far as i woudl usually back against them to console any dissapointment of a defeat, half way through week 2. still going strong. Day 10 complete, £0.00 spent 🙂
