Day 85
Another beautiful day ! Took my wife and lil boy out in the town . We've had a great time , seeing them happy is just priceless . Treat them both in a nice restaurant and bought my wife some nice clothes for when we go to our next holiday yessssss another holiday ! I know we've only been to Paris last month but hey this is what gambling free life can do more time and money for your love ones .. yes I'm taking her to Germany next month as my parents are happy to look after the lil one for a week . I mean the holidays are not even 5% of what I would generally spend on gambling ! It's true a happy wife,a happy life !
Our lives are much better now and I can see a massive improvement! I've also had more funding from work to do more courses to secure my family's future !
I would love to thank all the support I'm getting from you all ! I know I always have to keep my guard up as this nasty addiction can just hit me from behind !
@sharon thank you very much for all your support ! We can both do this !
@itmatters I didn't watch in the end buddy ! I'm not letting you leave me behind hahaha . We're together on this 😉
@sir Stephen couldn't have done it without your support sir ! Thank you ! Hope you're Keeping in good health .
@nev good luck with your counselling session bud ! I'm also rooting for you ! I'm also expecting you to just stay 8 days behind .. no backing down bud !

"Loving it, loving it, loving it - Loving it like that!"
Making massive daily strides Sars - excellent!!!
Seem's like Mixer's " Getting down with the kid's " :))
He's right though Sars well done buddy under 2 weeks and the " Century club" await's .

Hi Alan,
I think you're right - maybe I was trying to be 'hip' although, sadly, I'm nearer a prosthetic one rather than getting down with it! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yep ! I know all about those Mixer, as I just had one in April and I still can't get down with the kid's , well I might get down but not up again :))
Sorry for hijacking your thread Sars' :))
Hahaha for sure you guys aren't that old 😉 ! I mean I could always give you some physio hahah ! Thanks for the support guys !
Old enough, Sars - I think my break-dancing days are well behind me (yep... that old 🙂 )
