a new way of thinking

One of the great posts, your last one. nice and simple yet it sums up that you had a busy old day (I'm guessing you has a great sleep!) isn't good to actually pay those bills, especially one youve not been able to pay previously, good stuff

keep it going

Thanks Guys,

Well another week over and ade your right the positive vibe really is taking over the forum which can only be a good thing.

Had a great nights sleep making biscuits this afternoon so that should be a messy affair with a 2 yr old but all great fun and better than sodding gambling.

Have a great weekend peoples

Stay Strong.x

What a brillant day no gambling no thoughts of gambling.

Went shopping for biscuit decorations.

Made biscuits little one has done some very inventful decorations on christmas tree biscuits which im sure grandad will love.

I have now cleaned up the mess

Hi Elizabeth

Been a little while since I popped in on your diary so thought I would make the effort to point out how well you are doing with your recovery.

Sounds like your filling your time with really positive things and spending more time with your children and enjoying it more than ever.

Also just wanted to say a massive well done for all time you take to post on so many peoples diaries, this is helping so many people as well and something you should be really proud of.

Best wishes my friend on your continued recovery.

Hey Elizabeth

Just catching up on your diary. Gave myself some time out from it all as gambling was occupying my mind so much and I am not even the addict!!! lol

Anyway. I wanted to ask something. Do you find that without gambling thoughts in your mind you are less distracted and have more time for your children? Do you feel that you actually want to decorate biscuits or that you have to do something with them or they will drive you mad?

You know I am having issues with my children's behaviour and the worse they are the less I want to be with them or do things with them. Guess that is why I had a break from on here.

Is being gambling free good for your relationship with them?

Hiya Elizabeth,

Just want to pass a message on from Juliette 999, she is able to read on the forum but unable to post as she is having a few computer problems at the mo and lost her gamcare password as a result. She wants you to know she is thinking about you and sends her best wishes, plus she's doing well. If you post on her diary she will see it okay 🙂

Love Del xo

Hey Elizabeth

Good attitude! being a bit down and lethargic is miles better than being in action - and affects most of us to some degree at this time of year. Hope it lifts soon.

Thanks for the awesome support. I am doing better today 🙂

Take care,
