      Ok, who is going to make the “I’m stopping gambling” resolution?  Well done……. now how many times have you made that same resolution before??!!

      I know I did many times! 

      Instead of making it again I would recommend resolving to take positive actions.

      This year I WILL go to GA…

      I WILL post more in forums here….

      I WILL be accountable for my money…

      I WILL be honest with my partner….

      I WILL only carry the money i need on a daily basis..

      I WILL get proper financial advice regarding my debts.

      I don’t tend to make resolutions nowadays – if something needs doing then the time to do them is NOW.  So if you are reading this and resolving to stop gambling on 1st January then I would say BS!  Your addiction is giving you permission to gamble for the next couple of days – You can stop TODAY. 

      Having said that I am going to make a resolution this year – I’m going to read more.  🙂 and in line with the above I will be starting my first book when I finish here this evening,  Just a small book:  No One is Too Small to Make a Difference – Greta Thunberg.

      Have a great gamble free New Year everyone.

      Well I’ve started that book. This wasn’t intentional but it seems that saving the planet is very much like recovery – our words and promises won’t do it – it is our actions that are important 🙂

      I’ve been gamble free for about 6 weeks now.
      Before this year I would only bet small on sports but this year I got carried away on online slots. I’m struggling at the moment but I’m hoping the turn of the year I can put this year behind me and start to improve my life moving forward.

      On a brighter note, doing the more reading thing is going to be easy!
