Hi Diary,
I crossed off another gamble free day on my diary. Still cheating a little bit here and there with the sweets But, I did start walking and it feels really good to get out and exercise. The little effort I am making is paying off. A step at a time. A day at a time. Word for the day is: Focus. -joanxx
Joan.
Great to see your name down the right hand column, reassuring to see and tells me you are well and truly back on the road to recovery.for that be proud very proud.
focused indeed.
Stepping forward never back
Focus ....thats a great word Joan...
I am also doing that now..I am now being led by the head with rational reason and not messy emotions..i have'nt traded one for the other,..just letting one have a sleep a while whilst the other picks up the pace...
Fo-cus Fo-cus....left right left right....
Onwards and upwards we march...

Hi Diary,
I crossed off another gamble free day on my calendar. I expect the urges to start coming on as payday is tomorrow. I am resolved more than ever to fight. By now everyone knows how I feel about "the establishment". I quit alcohol and cigarettes 20+ years ago. Gambling you are fricking history!! Great big bear hugs and pats on the back all around!! -joanxx
