Stephen,

with the getting along with your team at work, its just a thought but you have been distant from them for a long time while you been engrossed in your gambling life be that placing bets or dealing with the aftermath of losing. the guys around you probably don’t know you and only know you as gambling Stephen. it will take time for you to get to know them just keep trying to interact, its probably as strange for them as it is you they will need to get to know the non gambling Stephen as well.

keep sticking with it bud eventually you will click with one of them and that’s all you need.

Ah yea Oldham i know that and i know its unfair to think people will just start chatting to me straight away. But i dont have any interest in normal peoples conversations.

And im still too sensitive. The girls chatting about the lads they fancy and im thinking to myself "eh what about me" . Im here looking like a homeless man expecting people to take an interest in me just becuase i havent gambled. The head is all over the place really. Im doing the right things to stop gambling its just normal life isnt for me.

Thats me done for the week, dont have access to the internet on the weekends. (like a f****n caveman)

So halloween weekend for me will be spent like every other weekend sitting in my room waititng for Monday to come around again. Gym after work tonight and then the walk home (90 mins walk that i have perfected). At least ill sleep well after that.

Its a bank holiday in ireland on Monday but im working it. I wont have a gamble or drink hangover to recover from and ill be so bored that ill be looking forward to work . anyways stay safe people

Hi Stephen just thought I would stop by and see how your doing, glad to see your still gf.

So how was tha weekend? Still GF? Need to get u a new hobby and stamp out the boredom 🙂

re post 166, normal life isn't for you?

Normal life might not be your habit because it came second to gambling but you can learn new and good habits. Ok, conversation is forced at first but keep practicing and it gets to be comfortable then normal.

Stick with it.
