So where to start well as you all now I have been having driving lessons I have now had 17 hours of lessons with 13 more to go, I have my test date for which is on the 5th March the day before my 25th birthday, now I was supposed to be setting off early to head to Bournemouth for a weekend of fun, booze and football...These plans have not changed I will just have to set off later on the 5th well 12:30 to be precise.
So where am I on my driving well I have covered Junctions, Roundabouts, reversing in a straight line, Pedestrian crossings, signals and much much more. I still have much more learning to do, more manovours, hazard awareness, town driving and just improving all that I have already done.
So why is the driving helping in the long run, well it gives me something to think about it also long term gives me a better chance of finding a new job, as most of my friends know I am not happy in my job anymore and will be looking for a new challenge in the months to come, there are loads of different job opportunities that open when you can drive I.E Bus driver, truck driving which is something most of my family have done, delivery guy..... There truly are loads of different driving jobs out there.
So what else have a been up to well the usually which includes football, football and more football, its passions, it’s a religion it’s my faith I love the game and atmosphere and now I have managed to stop gambling on football games I am enjoying the games even more I don’t have to worry about losing money on games now I can enjoy a half time pie and pint and many more pints after the games.
The latest away game I went to was in little old Accrington Stanley, this was my first visit to their ground and really enjoyed it, got to admit the Stanley Ultra’s are mental they love to cheer and show off their colourful banner work, they are a very respected bunch of people who love to get together and sing throughout games...
Unfortunately the result went there way again in the league and they won 3-2 but we were not down hearted we stopped after the game for pint and had a good laugh with the Stanley fans, something that is sadly missed in the higher leagues. It had been yet another great day out with the football family who are also supporting me in my hour of need, I can even walk in a pub now and not even move towards those dreaded machines, the day was great but so was the evening we went to The Bath pub in Morecambe and listened to some live music which was fantastic also made some new friends in there so even better so all in all the day/night had been great, it was all helping in progress to quit gambling for good.
So the time now is 15:42 on Monday 15th Feb, I will be having my next driving lesson at 5:30 this evening.
So my targets over next 2 weeks....
>Pass my Driving Test
>Buy a car
>Continue to support my football team
>Goto my first counselling session this Thursday coming
>Also visit the doctors and talk about coming off the Anti Depressants
So lots to think about and lots to do, I will write again after my 25th birthday, for now I leave you with my message of the week....Which is are you also a recovering gambler if you are or even if your considering gambling don’t is the easy answer but if you struggling to overcome your demons then tell your friends/family if you cannot talk to them, then why not visit gamcare, their there to help...If you want to talk to me so I can help you as well as you help me then drop me a comment and I will get back to you or you can add me on facebook - http://www.facebook.com/thegentlegiant1
