Hey... just logged on here to wish you a merry Christmas and tell you how it feels to be 50. Looked at your last post and initially thought... (due to 50th Southy Syndrome).. I'll read that later... but I didn't.. I read it.

I understand.

I hope you are well otherwise, and wish you a merry christmas. Here's to a new year.. another one... a better one... small steps , then we look back and see how much ground we have covered.

Fella sometimes a few words carry bigger meaning than a whole script.

My friend you nailed that brief yesterday.

for it thankyou.

Duncs stepping forward never back.

Faaaaaart (bloody sprouts)

Stay lying down methinks (but open a few windows first)

So enjoy reading your take on life.

I've decided not to post until next year, so I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone on this site well and hopefully 2014 will bring you health, happiness and wealth (by not losing anymore money).

My new year resolutions are as follows:

1. To continue abstinence from gambling.

2. To try and give up cakes, sweets, chocolates, biscuits and sugary shitt. (impossible for me, I shall fail within a matter of days at the most).

3. Try and remain positive.

4. Enjoy being me more.

5. Try to find pleasure and appreciation within the moment.

6. Keep avoiding the idea of marriage.

7. Keep working hard

8. Exfoliate every day

9. Be tidier but not to the point where my testosterone drops.

10. Think slower

'till next year

Steve

Lol! Happy New Year Steve! -joanxxx

I kid you not, driving home at exactly one minute past midnight my car broke down, I think the clutch has gone. Happy new year. Been walking home now for just over an hour in shorts and a sports top, I don't know how the girls in Newcastle do it. It's a bit cold. Will be home soon enough now. Things are always sent to test us. One of my resolutions was to remain positive. It's not the end of the world, the walk actually is quite refreshing. One person has wished me a Happy New year to which I returned the kind gesture. I also passed a man crying uncontrollably and a couple having their first drunken tiff of the year. I hope the car will be ok, at least no one can steal it, I suppose it'll be Thursday now before I can get a mechanic out. Can't tow it home either because its stuck in gear. Nuisance. The unexpected cost as well might cause discontent if I allow it to but I'm not, money is just money. As long as you've got food in your belly and a warm place to sleep then you're the envy of half the world, not to mention the ability to walk home late at night in s**y sports shorts, covered in paint, in relative safety. We're all lucky on this forum in one way or another and there are millions of people who would gladly swap our problems for theirs. It's all relative, it's all about perspective, about being yourself.

Gambling stagnates your ability to grow as a person it robs you of seeing the bigger picture. Here's to a great new year and a warm bed.

Only the end of the world is the end of the world.

Steve

Fella your glass half full when many others would have smashed

theirs let alone it be half empty!!!

My sincerest thanks for being able to share this journey with you fella. It is an ongoing one, never ending

I have grown to love that.

With strength and honour

Cheers Dunc, the world is filled with wonder and awe. Also death and pestilence but the less said bout that the better.

Day 650 draws to a close without a penny spent or a second wasted on useless, monotonous, mind numbing, deluding, poisonous, depressing, frustrating, soul destroying, debt increasing, relationship breaking, heart rendering, misery inducing, sanity breaking, loss chasing, little pen throwing, rolled up slip tossing, hair pulling, cat kicking, appetite reducing, ******** calling, debit card tearing, armpit sweating, friends avoiding, staring at ceiling bet........not one. Thank God. No urges, other than masturbatory and they're under control thanks to the nighttime boxing gloves rigmarole and the autographed portrait of Anne widdocombe hanging adjacent to where I sleep (although, strangely, as the nights crawl by she becomes more and more attractive, why, I don't know). My only concern is if there is a fire I will struggle to open doors and pick up my trousers.

Anyway, goodnight all, I hope all is well in 'giving up land.' Anyone can do, and achieve anything by setting simple, small targets, collective achievable goals set out to increase and maintain motivation. Take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute if necessary. Most of all reward yourself, be kind to yourself when you reach them.

Fill the void or live in limbo.

Hi Lazarus,

Just wanted to thank you for your support. You really are very good with words and how you get your thoughts across. They help a lot.. a true asset to the forum. Regards.. S.A 🙂

Steve.

Fella before you leave the forum would you like to exchange email details, we have to go to the contact gamcare link and request to exchange details.

I have had the privilege to do so with a few other fellow gamcarers and would like to do so with you.

We have enjoyed this journey together and I would be honoured for it to continue.
