I've just realised that I should be using the same thread for my diary. So I'll be using this one from now on. Today was my last driving lesson before my test tomorrow. Now I'm at my parents. Going to watch the football and stay here the night. I'm feeling good. Feeling positive about this place. Today is day five. No urges today.

Copy and paste you other opening post mate so people can see why your here
Winning and then losing in a short space of time leads to a come-down worse than any drug. I should know. I've done them all

Day 6
I passed my driving test today. This is a massive achievement for me and prooves that life really can begin at forty. I feel really good. This is a better high than any I ever got gambling. Its been a really tough few years, not just because of my addiction. But when I look back I see that my best times have been when I have been puching myself to achieve new things. I feel that this could be key to kicking my habit. I will move orward from this and take on another chalenge now. I hope everyone is well.
Well done Wil, keep putting your efforts into these type of challenges and all will be good!
Great news bud on the test and 6 g**s GF which is a big test in its own right
Life begins at 40.

9 Days GF
I got a work van today. Its a big bonus. I drove it this afternoon and it was the first time I've driven alone, having only passed my test on Monday. I was scared ****less. But it was an good experience. I haven't thought about gambling at all this last two days. I feel good about myself at the moment. I tend only to gamble when I don't feel good about myself.
A new van a nice little bonus your starting to sound a lot more positive things are falling in place and bring GF can only improve life further

Day 12. A day with friends and family. Watching the game and eating well. All things I could not do if I were still chained to that wheel.
