Mixer the fixer's a gamcare elixir who gave us a worthy quest
Through tragic tears or beaming smiles we strive to do our best
Emboldened anew with hearts of oak and blessed with a hopeful soul
We're all gathered here together and ready to rock n roll
Nice one, Stephen. My considered riposte 🙂 ...
It isn't easy, Stephen, I'll be the first to admit
Subconsiously seeking hit after hit
But with preparation and sincere application
We can so exceed our expectations!
All the best Stephen, as always mate.

Honesty~Honestly
Is the Key
The Breadth and Depth of it All...
Honesty is evolutionary in that we ourselves get closer to it by trying to live and express ourselves this way.
It's evolutionary, it's ever changing and words do not do honesty justice.
We feel and we transmit from an honest vulnerable heart space "something on the vibrational level" that others trust.
Honesty is an inside job at the core of our existance~a continuous exploration
Raw, real, vulnerable
Yet, as well stated in Buddist Theology wisdom stories... it's not wise to be unprotected.
Hi peeps ive gone thru a difficult patch, one where i succumbed to gambling and proposed starting poker again on mondays to family and friends. Once decided i was going again the devil was on my shoulder tempting me to play poker and go on fruit machines every day at every turn. I wouldnt rest till id played and would continue untill id lost lots of money and felt suitable regret enough to warrent stopping again. I went to a pub and put 6 pounds in a fruit machine, then went round a friends and watched football and looked at the odds on the world cup games, then went and played poker on the saturday night. All this to feel the adrenalin the endorphins i once felt every night..... and i did feel good that day. i played poker from 8pm till 3am and luckily i played pretty catiously and only took forty quid with me. I came out of poker evens and only gambled six pounds that day......then went back home and felt suitably hungover the next day....Now a month ago i hadnt gambled since december and now im struggling majorly to get to grips with the most simplest of decisions..... that itch is now scratched and ive come to my senses and decided to play golf and football every week instead of going to poker.....im adam and i am a compulsive gambler and i havent gambled since saturday....

Day 46 GF and loving life. Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather! We did not gamble yesterday. Let’s not gamble today either. One day at a time. Have a great rest of the week!
One month gamble free, 30 days done and feeling the benefit. It feels a long time since I gambled last and I’m having fewer urges. I’ll be much happier over the coming months and I can feel more content knowing I’ve enough money to treat my family to days out and activities on our little holiday coming up soon. The kids will benefit from the extra things they can do and I’ll enjoy seeing them happy and loving the summer and enjoying time off school . Fingers crossed the heat wave comes along & stays around for a few weeks. Thanks for the update as always Mixer.

I know that this thread has the esteeming quality of sucess in counting days up to a year and there on forward. I'm not saying that because I just went out and had a binge or experiment. I'm only saying that I'm here today and yes, since the last time out to a casino that is a long drive away... I have not taken any trips to gamble (and I'm not an online gambler). Both blessinging and challenges in life right now. I know it's that way for all of us. Sometimes the challenges do stand out and I/we have to look to things like basic survival being taken care of and perhaps our health etc. My challenge is with the unknown future for which my ideas of how to proceed with work and moving at some point are not consolodated into a direct path. I'm all over the place with ideas. And, the ideas that sound the best to me seem unapproachable in a tangible way. If I could just get my hands on some task that is a small step . If I could get a foothold . I am such an idea person. Maybe I could sell ideas! lol ahhh . I felt like sharing and this is what came out. have a good day, as good as possible. okay? tara2
