Fresh Hope

Last bet 3rd Jan 2018. Terrible gambler for 18 years. An honest account of my recovery journey detailed here, for all to see.

My story

[Sir Michael @Michael1979]

I LOVE spending time chatting with new friends 👍

@RashaelGirling NatWest are a truly awful company with zero morals/understanding. I’ve had an account for 25 years with them and they refused me a mortgage because of a default 12 years ago. My mortgage business went elsewhere and closed my account straight away.

@CraigShitpeas @Justfor53347998 There is no finishing line - just a perpetual journey of enlightenment and rewards.

Day 592. Spent the weekend moving into our new house. Also spent the weekend pinching myself. This simply would’ve have been possible had I been gambling.

Here if anyone needs someone to listen. I’ve been there. #Panarama

@CraigShitpeas You’ve made this happen. Don’t look beyond that. Your transformation has been inspirational and you continue to inspire me. It’s a pleasure sort of knowing you.

@CraigShitpeas I know an A Dick too! He’s from Stockton as well, must be popular round your way..

@Gambleaddict79 This is brilliant. You have come so far.

I force myself to spend some time to think about the devastation gambling has caused me. I need to still have that connection to the sadness in a way. It keeps me balanced. But things are much better now and the gambler feels just like a person I used to know.

Day 536. I don’t think about gambling at all anymore. Not whatsoever. Very, very occasionally I’m curious what the bookies odds are on certain things but it doesn’t give me an urge. That said, I fully appreciate that it’s dormant at the moment and could come back anytime.

@GAddict95 So sad. Had a few exchanges with him over our shared love of League 2 football. Thoroughly decent bloke. Thinking of him and you all tonight.

Day 520. Tough week. Car broke down on Saturday, was deported from India on Monday, mum was burgled on Tuesday - it’s like the worlds shittest Craig David song. Heading back from California to see my babies though.
