Hi guys just been out to buy xmas presents for family. First time I have been trusted with money since I joined.
Bought everything I could of and have got 3 pounds or so left over.
Just driving back to my mums house now where I am staying. I have lots of time to kill and very lonely and the first thought or impulse of me seeing myself going to the bookies hit me.
I said to myself maybe u could just go and put my £3 on a football accumulator so I can go back and watch the games. (Keep myself entertained)
I've got back to my mums. I am not going back out! Telling myself keep strong.
Great you resisted the temptation, and equally important you wrote it on your diary here. It shows you really mean this. Keep strong and keep the £3 ... When you add it to money you would have spent over the new few days and weeks, just see how it tots up. Keep strong!
Thanks for your support mixer I will take a look at your diary. I know if I keep on resisting I will be a happier better person. It's so hard to avoid sports. It's everywhere. Best regards
How's it going?
Hi Gavin, happy new year! Haven't heard from you for a while, hope you're OK?
I'm going to 'rest' you from our group as it's been a while since you've dropped by, but please let us know your GF status!
