Im a few days late , but well done Adam, awesome effort. 

Above a while back you asked if anyone had any tips, just one keep doing what you are doing it so works. 

See you soon pal and well done again.

Hi Lids and pink lady thanks for popping by......  Really still chuffed with my 5 years....been telling all friends and family and colleagues at work.

Another night where im up late...... but its friday tomo so just the one day of work to contend then off for the weekend.

Looked at my finaces a minute ago and thanks to some nifty saving this financial year is going to be my best yet...... ill have spent 2k on ps5 gaming ..... but still have saved 4k off my debt so 6k assets for the year and still got 3 more months which is should save another 2k so an 8k year in the plus when i only earn 14k a year..... thats so savvy work.

Been thinking a bit about whether to meet up with my old friends for xmas drinks next saturday..... usually i get voices after such a thing and pubs not really my cup of tea anymore literally haha.... but would just maybe go for one drink to make an apperance not sure we will see.....

Spurs lost tonight and they were really poor.....

On the plus side ive got these rounds of prem games for free on amazon prime for the month.

Ive cancelled my sky entertainemnt in tandem with the end of the day of the jackell next week..... the dune episodes dont really do it for me and theres nothing on there that i will watch and i can start watching the paramount plus that ive paid for..... ive cancelled sky sports and dont pay for tnt...... my friend whos been watching my sky sports might get sports for the rest of the season so i might be able to watch that...we will see. but im not paying for the rest of the season as i think im due to be a bit overdosed on footbll as ive been watching every game soo far for the season......

Another few days has passed.....another weekend gone by..... Bought some glasses today after I got my eyes tested ....went for a pair for fifteen pounds.....pretty good value I think......will see whether it improves much......

Pretty non eventfully weekend......spurs lost again today......we are down in eleventh now booo. Oh well onwards we go.

Al ost Christmas now and I like to spend Xmas reflecting on the year gone by, what I've done. What I e achieved , what I haven't, what I wabt from the next year and what I don't....

Health wise I'm going in the right direction.....I've however had a lot of time off work due to mental health ..... .mostly in March where I had the whole month off ....can't be helped tho I'm on the meds and for the majority of the time they work wonders.....

Next week I've got my review so I'll keep posted on how I feel after.....altho it's usually a tick box procedure and just saying yes ur ok carry on type thing.

Also next week spurs play in Europe on the Thurs night so I've bagged Friday off work after.

Went to health suite Friday night after tidying and cleaning flat....must get into that more as it's very relaxing plus should play table tennis next week at some point.

Night Adam xx

Another 2 days have past since the last post on sunday....... Felt ok yesturday got a lot done at work..... today got a lot done at work but felt pretty tired after..... so ive had a bath and im in bed resting..... will get to bed at 11 and see if i can get a good nights sleep for work tomo.....

Videos on you tube and reminders on this site have made me think back to my gambling past tonight and about how far i got off the beaton track, how unhealthy i was and the drastic hanges ive made to my life.

Im often pretty down about ymcircumstances (e.g. no girlfriend no kids living alone etc)...... i get down at work sometimes..... i feel im too over critical of myself...... a lot of people feel down and i feel its social media a lot of the time that puts others lives in ur face..... i also focus on money side of life a lot and i feel thats because of my gambling past..... 

Also its winter and its this time where i allways seem to spend most of time when not at work in bed hibernating..... its cold and dark most of the time which doesnt really seem to offer great feeling....

I feel i do have a lott to be thankful for and i will try to focus on that thru this low time.....

I have a long weekend this weekend with ffriday off work this week..... lets hope i can increase my energy levels by then and enjoy it somewhat more than i am now.

had my work annual review today......  The good news is that all of the comments on my objectives for the year were positive and i got a 'performing' review mark.

They did put in a coment that theyd like me to feel more comfortable working alongside people and with that in mind theyd like me to work with graham.  This would be handyman jobs like putting up pictures, moving furniture, and decorating mainly.  I however dont want to be doing these jobs over what i currently do.  So ive emailed him toinght to say thansk for thinking about my development but id rather stick to the jobs that i know help the hospital and already fill up my entire working week and more.

Hopefully that's fine..... Lee the new porter can work with graham and it seems lee needs a lot of direction so as graham is the new head porter it seems right that lee works with him for guidance....

Felt pretty tired yesturday night so slept well..... tough week at work this week,..... however im thankfully off friday and can watch spurs tomo night with a coffee.....

Been invited to meet friends in pub (which i usually stay away from).... on saturday...... i get a bit anxious around meeting in pubs with rounds of beers and voices afterwards..... i may pop in for one red bull then make my excuses and get back for the forest villa game and maybe ill treat myself to a steak.....

we will see....

Onward i go on this journey.

5 years gamble free is amazing. I think many people feel down about their circumstances but with me its a better circumstance than if I was still gambling. 

I'm only at 4 months so I have a long way to go. But seeing your posts inspires me that people are making a long term success of not gambling.

I hope you have a good Christmas and achieve the goals that are important to you in 2025.

Hi France thanks for popping by feels me with confidence.

Well the weather outside is frightful..... Ooo I wish I was delightful.....

Very windy tonight good time to be tucked up in bed.

A week till Xmas.....

Five working days then five days off.....
