Checking in after another gamble free week. Well done to everyone who made it safely through the challenge and hats off to those who fell, but got back up and carried on fighting.
A huge thank you to Sandra for running the challenge. It's been a good motivation to stay on the straight and narrow and I'm going to miss it now that it's ending.
OAU.

Dear forum members, challengees and the ones who is just reading on the outside.
This challenge has been a huge incentive for many of us. My personal journey went up and down and yes, i did think of giving in on numerous occasions. You guys and some tough love from my dear Sesuo brought my senses bk, i stood up, and fought for my freedom!
Recovery is not easy, it is very challenging and exhausting at a times. Every day is different and those weak moments are just round the corner...this is recovery. We deal with ups and downs, we cry, scream and throw dummies out showing the world that something what gave us release and excitement must be present in our lives....yet, deep down we know that with release comes this horrible failure feeling, hater and dissapointment...we know what addiction has to offer and that's not pleasant at all...it just ends with flat back line...
Recovery teaches us how to dive in the unknown. Go through the worst emotions and come out the other side. Even if just for today, progress is being made!.
I would urge you all to stay with recovery, persue your dreams and most importantly - forgive yourselves. Life is for living, time is priceless. We all work hard towards our future and I'm sure you all will agree that even one smile raised during the process is a lot more rewarding than a tear in loved ones face.
I am proud of every single one of you. The foundation has been set. Recovery is possible and only us are in control of making it real.
Keep up the good work and stay close by the places/people who inspire you to stay on the right track to complete harmony in life.
Just a quite to sum up the journey we are all on
"It shouldn't be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something's difficult to come by, you'll do that much more to make sure it's even harder--or impossible--to lose." --Sarah Dessen
You're all worth the best things in life!
Keep reaching for them - one day at a time
Thank you for your time, feedbacks, encouragment and support on this challenge
You are all stars i am very proud of ☺
