18TH JAN 2013 - Time to let go.

Hey Feb,

Great to read that you doing well and enjoying your life...having lovely time with your loved ones really don't make space for that evil habit....why should it? It's your life and you have to live it for yourself and the ones you care the most of!

Great achievements...keep it up:-)

Have a lovely Sunday

Hi Feb,

Good to read that you remain in "normal mode" and that you are enjoying time with your friends and family. Keep going... S.A 🙂

Thanks Sandra for your continued support and to S.A. also. Take care both of you.

Hey LF,

thankyou so much for your post on my diary, I was a little ashamed and I felt uneasy with the strength shown by so many others, obviously relapses are not great, but I guess we just have to use them to learn and continue to strive in our recoveries. Post lunch choccy required now methinks, hope to catch up soon.

WEEK 7.

Just on the bus on my way to work - im on my Gamcare diary, the young lad sitting next to me is on his mobile playing Poker!! Was dying to say to him "it will only end in tears" but I suppose he will have to work that one out for himself!!

Them days are gone for me thank goodness..

Feb - Content to be on "The Bright Side of the Road".

Thanks Sandra. Sorry but did not realise you had had a slip. The main thing is that you have got yourself straight back on track.

Take care and stay strong.

Wow week 7 already were does the time go. It was great having you on the thread and its great to see you bouncing back so strong and so quickly. Im gonna be running another thread as i think it will keep my foocus from waining. Im gonna put some details up on sunday and it will start november, again would be lovely to have you on board but everyone here must do what they feel best for there own recovery so if you wanna join that'd be great if not no worries. Have a great weekend and keep fighting the good fight. Take care.

Feb well done on the good work ... Knew you could do it

Keep on keeping on one day at a time... Have a great weekend

All good with my son, but as a Mum always worry

Glad you are on the right side of the road ... Stay safe always xx j

WEEK 8.

Thanks Dave and Jackie for your continued support. So glad your son is still going strong Jac. Dave, I look forward to continuing with your new thread.

Well, week 8 already since my "moment of madness". Yesterday just before leaving for work I found myself thinking that I was so grateful to have a warm home, food (and wine) in the fridge and a loving family. My son's girlfriend cane down from Glasgow yesterday and I cooked three hearty steaks for supper. We had a lovely evening.

Going off to see my gorgeous new great nephew at midday and having lunch with family. I am blessed is what I think. No thoughts of gambling whatsoever - why would I when I have all this?

Take care all.

Feb - Excitedly waiting on "The Bright Side of the Road".

Good job on your continued recovery, Feb. Try to put that 'moment of madness' out of your mind. I think we've all done it or have come close. It happened to me early on when I was here and I've come close a few times already this year, though thankfully the urges past.

Should be remember though, you messed up on one day only. You never continued gambling after, realizing your mistake and carried on with the recovery. Consider all the days and weeks we've been gamble free, then think of those days and weeks you were completely caught up in gambling. We're lucky to be out of it, is all I'll say. Blessed even.

Well done on you 8 weeks, Feb. Not to mention the weeks and weeks, before this. Just because you reset the recovery clock shouldn't mean those weeks before were meaningless.

Thanks Alex for your kind comments I know what you are saying in that although I went back to day one after 7* months, it was only for two hours I messed up and then got straight back on to the "Bright Side of the Road". I will still hold Jan 18th 2014 as a significant day, in that it will be a year gamble free, bar two hours of "madness".

Great to see that you are still remaining strong, even after your vulnerable moments not so long ago. You did excellent to abstain when those triggers hit hard - well done.

Take care and keep in touch.
