Goodbye gambling habit... 2 months ago

Well, with my last drink being yesterday, I thought I would say goodbye to my gambling habit…

It’s been an expensive friend over the years, costing me many thousands of pounds… We had many arguments, always making up in the end (ie losing lots of money, then putting more in the next day).

So, I am finished with gambling. I’ll earn my money and keep it… This will also get me out of debt, instead of into it.

So, last drink yesterday... 2 months ago

Finished the Allen Carr book last night, took me 3 days (I read the short version). I have to say I was feeling pessimistic all of yesterday, but since finishing the book, I am feeling a lot better about things.

So, my last drink was a large Single Malt Whisky (can’t remember the name)... absolutely rancid. I was almost sick whilst drinking it and on the way home. Definitely something I won’t forget in a while.

My target with this? To stop drinking forever… 12 hours down, lifetime to go…

I cannot recommend the Allen Carr “Easyway” books enough! Helped me stop smoking, and now helped me stop drinking too!

Good luck everyone.

hmm, it’s difficult…

You think everything is going ok, then perhaps just put £10 in the machine, it’ll be ok, I can walk away from this… but, you can’t.

So, today, I make a pledge. Once and for all I will stop gambling NOW! It’s the reason why I am in horrendous debt and the only way I will be rid of it.
