So, if you are a new or struggling member here then you may well not have had the best of Christmases.  I had lots of those as well.  Presents will have depended on how my luck was running.  My mind wasn’t on enjoying time with family on Christmas Day – it was on what I was planning to do when the bookies etc were open again the next day.  Family would be worried or avoiding the subject because they knew what I would be doing.

 

 

 

As for celebrating New Year?  I used to hate New Year with a vengeance; everyone celebrating, looking forward, looking at new beginnings etc When all the time I of course knew it would be the same old same old – chit.

 

 

 

That’s what addiction did to me.

 

 

 

Now, I love Christmas.  Presents were bought well in advance.  I had some quality time and a very enjoyable few days.  Gambling didn’t play a part.  I’ve even started enjoying New years Eve, though with a dog we usually stay in as she hates the fireworks.

 

 

 

So again, you may well have had a not so good Christmas.  What you do NOW will determine what future Christmases are like.  What are you going to do differently?

Nice post Charles,
This was the best Christmas for me personally, because I could tell my wife trusts me again. Even though the gifts were not expensive, they were meaningful. No argument about expenses, because all the money is accounted for. No hiding, no guilt…no stress.
This is a very good way to start 2018!!!
Happy New Year
