Checking in again. Hope everyone had a good new year. I was working through Christmas and new year, since someone has to work for others to enjoy it. Bar work means I’m that guy. But I don’t mind. I’ve managed to go into this new year gamble free and with any luck I’ll be able to say the same next year. I had a couple of occasions where there were only a couple of people in and I was encouraged to join in on gambling sessions. I’m glad to say I resisted. My partners son on the other hand seemed to enjoy it a little too much and lost around £12. Not much in my terms of gambling, but we’ve all gotta start somewhere. I’ve tried to put him off gambling without saying too much. They were buying the lottery cards you open up. They let me get involved and open a few. I gather it’s called dry gambling, and after a while of just watching them gamble I was egging them on just to get a bit of a contact buzz if you will. It’s so easy to fall back into the feelings you get from gambling. It was really overpowering I had to step away after a while. I still look over at those Bandits with lust in my eyes. But so far so good and I’m sticking to my guns. Here’s to another gamble free year!
