So end of another weekend and unfortunately got voices back in my head and feeling pretty down about it now. I don't know what to do I'm lost. Usually I Sa and do everything right in terms of voices but I've done everything wrong this time. Really don't want voucss anymore. Had a really good month on new medication but think as its the end of month t*t wore out and got the back. Really struggling to think that wgaf ive said ib my head is not real. Gof my injection tomo and seeing occi health a work so hopefully that should help.

No gambling going well, no alcohol going well and all the other things ive given up going well. Looking forward to Christmas already. Adam over and out

You have certainly turned your life around and have a great attitude surrounding work, life and your general well-being.

Brilliant Stephen that's great news. Another weekend finnished, not done much, didn't go to gym, just stayed in and relaxed, still feel tired as couldn't get to sleep due to voices. Early night for me I think. Then back to work. I'm thinking a lot about targets to set myself for 20@19 but don't want to push myself too hard all my abstinence at the mo is doing well for me. Haven't thought about smoking in ages just stops after a long while.

So this time next week it will be 100 days gamble free, so what have I learned:

drinking alcohol has a huge effect on what I gamble.Frequenting pubs has a big effect on my gambling. Who I hang out with has,a huge effect on my gambling. Whether I have access to my cash in bank wmg gambling. I have now firmly got hold of the triangle and given myself twenty pounds cash no card to go to town with the ​

The wort that can happen is I come back from town with nothing in my hands or pockets and back to day one on the day count, but more importantly than the day count is the loss of only twenty pounds. That will have gone down from three hundred. So now will power is not in question.

Ive learnt the value of money too. Now as I earn a lot less there is less money to spend on other things so I use my spreadsheet to budget. I was doing brilliantly and I thought I was going to almost break even for the year but I only got paid two weeks of this month so it puts me five hundred behind.
