Good Morning! Firstly, I apologise I'm a bit late with my daily rollcall. I strive to keep it updated daily, but sometimes I simply don't have the time. I went out to my counselling last night, it went very well, and had a couple of pints after. Then my train was delayed and then.. was on the Gamcare webchat, got carried away and missed my stop.. and had to come all the way back again! Suffice to say I was a bit tired. Anyway, in the office now and updating this before I start at 8:30am - all go! Roll on 6pm...!

I'm not moaning, by the way - we all lead busy lives. And being busy keeps our mind off more damaging activities.

Thank you for checking in everyone and fantastic to see you all resolutely GF - I am on Day 40, along with Katiecoo, with whom I started at a point that seems many moons ago! We are keeping this going, and choosing life. We are starting to feel better already as the genuinely and overwhelming joys of a GF life become clear. ACTIONS speaking louder than platitudes. Well done everyone - lets all be GF today.

Today, we are NOT going to gamble. Today, we choose life, not misery - doing the best for US, and our loved ones. Today,we will be selfless - NOT selFISH.

*** Thought of the Day ***

"The road to h*ll is paved with good intentions."

If you're a 'binge' gambler type, like me, then stopping for a while (good intentions...), then relapsing (h*ll), then stopping for a while (good intentions..) relapsing (h*ll) and repeating the process, isn't going GF at all, and in fact is a fast track to misery. Let's see ACTION behind those intentions --- and go GF for a long spell proving it 🙂

WCAWW!

P.s. Tonight's rollcall will be late tonight; off out on business. But I'll do it 🙂
