Well done mate, the early days are the most difficult. I started by basically changing the places I went to, deliberately picking those which didn't have arcades. And of course leaving the credit cards at home!

Excellent work Pash! If you stick at it for a month, you'll no doubt save as much cash as I did!
[Lets just say enough to get a nice laptop with Radeon graphics and plenty of other assorted stuff!!]
If you keep it up I'll have to paypal a pint to you... be warned that in the process you would lose 1/25 of the pint as a fee!****

****Subject to availablilty. And there was only one available in the first place. And that tasted of vinegar.

Well done. I know exactly what its like,as like others here I've gone through the withdrawl process. But, a week will soon be a month, then a year & you will feel a whole lot better & be a whole lot richer too! :euroeyed:

Nice one pash....you keep at it mate.I too am trying to give up playing them for good,but ye know yourself it aint so easy.I do have my addiction under control to a certain extent.but there will always be times where you have a "relapse" like i did a couple of weeks ago in blackpool..needless to say the wife aint spoke to me since,and i dont blame her.. i was a total arsehole and i deserve everything i get.
Really they aint worth the grief..sorry to make a long story even longer..but keep it up mate..were all with ya
