Merry Christmas! Huge congratulations x

Thank you so much Lil30.

Working nights means spent the whole day sleeping. Sucks to be working on xmas day but hey I'm gamble free one more day. Always look on the bright side. 331 days GF.

Hey Pras

Hope you got a nice double time or something similar for the Xmas day shift :o)

Keep going strong buddy.

Haha I wish Signalman unfortunately it was my turn this year but I've got new years off so not too bad.

So, I turned 30 yesterday and the missus surprised me with gifts, a lovely cake and a birthday card saying how proud she is of me for coming such a long way and genuinely trying to fight this addiction. Very heart touching. Honestly, I could not have done it without her so I'm truly grateful.

I wasted almost all of my 20s gambling and causing a lot of heartache, stress, anxiety to myself and to my loved ones. Now that I'm stepping into my 30s I'm more than ever determined make something out of my life and become a successful person. When I grow old one day maybe I could reflect upon my life and say that 20s could have killed me but it didn't and instead it made me stronger and it made me what I am now. I feel confident that I'll turn my life around because I believe in myself and I'll take one day at a time to achieve this. Patience is the virtue. Bye 20s hello 30s. 334 days GF.

Happy birthday bro! You are taking a brave step out of addiction and into liberation - at such a tender age too. This will be the best decision you've ever made. Have a great weekend

Thank for your kind words and continuous support, Signalman. Yes, I've still got a long to live and as long as I don't gamble I think my life will be better. 335 days GF.

Last shift of 2018 and a week off can't wait! Too many night shifts this month certainly have had an impact in my sleeping pattern. Hopefully this break will help me come back to my normal routine. No gambling thoughts or urges. 336 days GF.

Happy new year everyone. Whatever happened in 2018 let's leave it all behind and start a new journey. All the mistakes we've done in 2018 let's learn from them and let's make ourselves better in every aspect of life. I hope the new year brings lots of happiness, good health and prosperity in our lives after all health is wealth. Here's to a gamble free 2019. Let's do this. Happy new year once again. 338 days GF.

I've been away for last few days to celebrate the girlfriend's grandma's 90th birthday. Had a decent time having good food lovely drinks and meeting new people. Life is so much better when your free from the vicious circle of gambling. Long may it continue. 345 days GF.

Hear, hear mate :o)

Good to have you back on the platform and lovely words re. 2018 and making the best of this year. Thanks for that. Hope you're well. Glad to hear you had a lovely time away, great way to start the year.

Trying to kick start my healthy diet regime and the missus brings home loads of cupcakes SMH!! lol. Very kind of her to offer me some but I resisted them. I'm not saying that I'm gonna be a diet freak but I will just try to reduce the amount of unhealthy snacks, sweets, chocolates etc. I think it's all about the mental strength. If you make your mind strong and be committed you can resist anything. In another news, no gambling urges because I'm strong and my mental strength is growing day by day. 347 days GF.
