So day 4 today, trying to be strong ! had good weekend and good few beers/chats with good friend yesterday !
Now back to work and refreshed, hoping this will be a gamble free week again !
I may post a little less this time as i try different techniques to beat my sickning addiction. Have a great week all, Dark Place
Where is the dark place!!!!!
I am back to square 1 Bear
Slipped again over the weekend, not good !
I saw the price of 3/4 for Lupita Nyong'o to win oscar for best supporting actress in 12 years a slave & i could not resist. 23 out of 24 critics had said she should win and she did ! i totally piled in, in fact the bookies would not take all my bets. Did she win ? of course she did, not good i know but i kind of thought its my turn to take somer serious money off the bookies and i certainly did.
So back to day 1, of course mixed feelings but trying to get back to normality again.
Have a great week all, Dark Place

13th march, day 1 a f##king gain. Hate my desperate weakness and never ending failures.
Must stay cool and calm, so it began....
Hey DP,
14th March...a day further from recent blip. That's all that matters my friend, DO NOT look back, there are plenty of better things to look forward to..all it takes, is to make that choice every day..the choice which never takes..but always gives unconditionally.
take care
day at a time
stay strong
