Day 71 – ***** All
Hope this finds you well, no gambling to report and all is going well. Had a great time catching upin the UK and went for a couple of beers with friends I’ve known forever. Afterwatrds they all wanted to go and put a bet on at the bookies next door. I went with them, as felt it would have been awkward otherwise. I just sat down and watched everyone all around me placing bets and screaming at the TV screens showing dog/horse and football stuff. I know what the go through as I was the same for 30 years. I would always blame the horse or jockey or something for my bad luck, funny really,. and yet very sad. I have to say I was tempted in there and it was almost a test I was giving myself. I am so very glad I just watched and felt good afterwards. One of the lads came back to say ***** to my wife at Mums house. He said some flippant remark to my wife about wasting £30 in bookies and then said ‘that miserable sod’ meaning me, just sat there while the rest of them blew there cash. I watched her face, and she gave me a relieved smile…..
Anyway, back to work now and just ing continuing ODAAT
Wishing you all strength.
