Day 18
Nearly 3 weeks in and still going great! Had a smooth stress free day at work but it was a long shift so when i got home, had some food and just chilled out on my phone
Sam

Day 19
Was a good day, I racked a few things off the to do list and finished off a couple books. I recently got 92% in my spirits exam and it took me a while to transfer notes though I was inquisitive in the process and had to research a few things!

Day 20
bit of a back to back post. but im posting today at the midway point whilst I have a few observations fresh in my head. to all those trying to quit you start to get a bit of clarity at this point and you see the world a bit differently. im still in debt but im content and theres plenty of things for free that I can be getting on with!
I am going to sell some dvds and give some items to charity. this will make me feel great as I am clearing some space and making myself as well as other people happy in the process.
have a great day all

Day 21
A full day of work and a quiet one to be fair. just getting on with things as is life!!! Its like playing a waiting game because i cant wait for the releif if having my loans clear!!!
Sam
Day 22
had the morning off and played some xbox, I have work at 2.45 and working till around 12. nothing exciting to report but at least im not gambling =)
Day 23
Pretty much worked all day, I feel kind of flat at the moment but I know its a side affect of recovery. I will get a lot of confidence back in the long run if I get through this. But at least im lowering my debts. Its nice to know with this happening now I could never go back to doing it again after it has taken me to hell and back!
Sam
Day 24
A long day at work with a busy evening. Im in hospitality so I work some long hours to be fair. But at least Its going fast and pay day is creeping up!

Day 25
A typical Sunday, I worked all day and just felt really tired in the evening so I really didn't achieve much but hey that's what Sunday's are all about!
Sam
Day 26
Was a really slow boring day. But was nice to have a catch up with my mum and nan in the morning. kinda made me miss home alot! I feel that i need to adjust my loan repayments so i actually have something to live on!!
Sam
Day 27

Hi Sam,
27 days is great and so is your daily update. A great reminder to reinforce the big "no" to the G word.
Keep doing what your doing.
One full month is coming up.
Take care,
Suzy
