After ten years im still here fighting the fight

Four days still left mate and sounds like a good spend thrifty day as always. It's always good.to.gomin with an open mind as to what to eat and pick up the offers mate

Really am grateful for my life

And why wouldn't you be, Adam. I've only read the last five months of your story but I can read how much work you still put into your recovery. I can see it through you turning up to the chatrooms to support others. I can read it through your diaries and the actions you put in place to lead a real life and one you have built for yourself to what you want. That takes a lot and I'm proud to call you my friend 

hi stuart many thanks for the post........ fills me with belief.......and confidence.

Today i woke at midday one pm ish/....... had cuppa and weetabix.......went to gym and treadmill whilst folks played table tennis.......then i played couple of games......back to theirs watched some tv had a bath....the fajitas......then back to flat and a spring clean as got friends over tomo (like to have it looking good for guests)

then checked all ps vr games working before tomo......  now chilling..... early night i think.....may watch a bit of you tube or box set...... then sleep.....

would like to be well rested before work..... done 49k steps so far this week only one day left......not gonna try and hit 70 k will just think to myself its a rest week with it being my holiday....

You are on holiday mate so no need to do the 70k and give me a chance to get a higher number one week lol

Just to let you know. When I was younger I was a bit of a maths genius. I've fought all my life to get away from that and not practice but I still have calculations going through my brain. They run in the background. 

So, the number I've always been in awe of is the number of 7. It's a really difficult number to work with and one of the worst prime numbers. So watch this space mate. I think this is post 701 so it's the countdown to the big one. 

As you have been an absolute life saver to me, where do you think post 777 is going ? 

funny that stuart i was actually thinking about commenting when you hit 699....on hitting 700 hhaha

So ive started to set up my consoles and updates on consoles for gaming with friends tomo with them coming over i like to have everything in place....i watched a you tube vid and there was a guy changing their settings on gran turismo....... so i found that theres a setting on it to change it from 60hz to 120 hz....... its cray i didnt do this up till now..... but now the game looks twice as good both on my tv and in vr horray...... cant wait to show my friends tomo........

Im also good with numbers stuart..... im not very good at english but my talent lies in numbers too....... i can work out most things financially in my head quickly and it means i get best offers when purchasing also take best options usually thru life which has financially put me in good stead........ 

Although i only earn 1200 after tax a month....... i spend 440 on bills.........160 on food and everytihng else...... and have managed to save 600 each month this year towards money owed on my flat....... im really aiming to save 600 a month for 8 years from now......... this should mean i own my flat outright........ which for someone living on own working part time i think is pretty incredible achievement....... especially as most in my situation wouldnt be able to work at all.......

\didnt spend anything today........ cokes and icrecreams in fridge and freezer for guests tomo........  sausage taken out the freezer for dinner......... one can of jd and coke ready for saturday night......... another restfull day has been had......

Recovery going great.....

In some ways it's a shame that the minute you post the next one the counter goes up. I only ever post if I have something to say. Most topics I spend about an hour thinking about what to say and reading through it a few times. It would be so easy to say the wrong thing and I need to think back into my past to where I can resonate. It's all about similarities and not differences. I get something out of replying and I'm sure you do but any reply isn't about me, it's for the person im replying to so I try to adopt HOW

Honesty in the words

Openness to show my vulnerability in resonating

Willingness to help myself and others 

One other thing about this site and the way I look at it

I've always tried to remember the saying (doesn't work in gambling lol)

If you can't afford to buy something twice then dont buy it

For me on this site, if I cant write two sentences don't write one. 

It doesn't mean I waffle but I like to think that if I can only write one sentence then I haven't read the post properly and go back and read it again
