DMac,

Great post. I agree that the many benefits we are now able to appreciate are so enjoyable. Almost every day there is something new for me to be happy about and appreciate in a way that I was never able to before.

Hi Dunc, so pleased for you, you're doing so well.

Great to see you posting so positively.

Be lucky.

What a lovely post !

That's all i wanted was for the old man to love me but had to get rid of him as his only love was the beer lol

Had a really tough evening but feeling so much better i did not resort to to dreaded slots!

Keep the positives flowing it helps sooo much

This forum is so enlightening it has taken me from a person who thought there was no good in the world, a person who spent so much time thinking about numbers that i had become isolated from the world. Today i care really care about life and all it can throw my way. I will smile through the bad times and laugh with the good all because today just for today i won again with those magic words.

Hiya Duncs

laughing over Hovis....seen his opportunity and he's gone for it...."on" the bed will turn to "in" the bed and then two sets of beautiful eyes to wake up to... lol

Do I detect a roast dinner today?...keep warm and keep on keeping on Duncs...life is for the living and for all of us on here for different reasons and including myself we have spent a lot of it not being fully alive....

Theres a lot of good in the world ...and as they used to say in the Al Anon meetings..."you may not like all of us but you will come to love us in a special way"....

Carpe Diem.....Is that seize the day?.....

thanks all and i now know how to summon a fairy! Lol! Well what a day. We closed for the day and the owner took me and my number 2 out for lunch. We went to a place we found called "pie and vinyl" fantastic pie mash and liquor! ! And ginger beer delicious! And they sell old and new vinyl i will be going again. I think the owner thought we would empty his wallet he got change out of a 20 pound note no alcohol to cloud the conversation and a great de brief had by all. Home on the couch now having a snuggle with my bundle of legs! I had a really good chat with them today about my gambling so i feel they know more and it will be another brick in the defence wall i will spend my life building. So back to the stoves tomorrow to get in gear for a busy hopefully sunny weekend. Duncs compulsive gambler NO BET TODAY.

NO BET TODAY!! Just got in from a full on day at the stove. Gearing up for the weekend i hope that sun stays out like today then we will get really busy.I really do feel different these days like nothing will phase me, i dont get angry at anything, i used to be angry with everything today i feel like i am living in my old comfy slippers the ones that are a bit beaten but do a better job because they know the feet and mould around them. I have a reason to live today my mayo jar is all golf balls and i plan to keep it that way. Duncs compulsive gambler no bet today.

morning diary.

About 2 years before I hit my rock bottom I went through a purple patch were I was winning rolls of notes daily, I acted all brash with this wealth found a load of "friends" I was first at the bar, the one paying the bill in the restuarant so on. I at the same time treated my wife and kids like trophies buying there love not spending time with them either punting or drinking. I had a few real friends at the time and they took a back seat in my life. At rock bottom were are the "friends" I found in good times well you guessed it gone or in the background sticking the boot in. My real friends are still there and we enjoy a great relationship today there is not many of them but with that and my beautiful best friend my wife and our 3 smashing kids it is enough. I write to say word will be out I am now back on the big bucks I wonder if those others will crawl from under there stones well folks if they do they will be alone at the bar I am too busy looking after myself and mine!!!
