Hiya Start....make sure you have blocks in place...you can self exclude from the casino online....come on, keep making the right choices for yourself, you know that once you start you cannot stop. Have you looked into counselling through Gam Care?
​hi Rhoda thanks for the post, yep I will do that, cheers. Thought id write in my diary as I've been neglecting it. Its been 14 days and 22 hours since my last bet and last drink and last ciggerette. Don't get me wrong ill be having a drink again but a bit of a gap from it makes it easier to stop the others.
Ive got the nicotine gum, the app and going to a group every Monday to stop smoking (even tho I was the only one there last week lol). On the gambling front ive not been to a pub since new years so not been tempted. I actually don't miss the pub strangely they are a waste of money really. I'm saving up for a holiday so that's good. I'm going snowboarding for a weekend start of march happy days. So prob going to spend 150 on hotel, 60 rentals, 100 ski pass, 100 travel, maybe get away with 200 all food and drink so that's 610 blimey that's a lot for a long weekend. Got two paychecks to save up for it plus still got 100 in bank account now. Been super sensible with money soo far this month long may it continue
​
Think if I can stay on this 2017 fresh year fresh life its gonna really help me. I can travel once every three or four months or maybe save up and do a big travel next year.
​
Might even start going to white hart lane next season a new hobby
​

Had a tough week at work so sitting back enjoying a glass of wine or two well almost half a bottle what the hey. Going swimming tomo even tho my legs still ache from footy on Tuesday lol. Booked my hotel in France for a weekend in the snow in march should be a fun road trip. All is good.
