Stay strong fellow soldier!!

Hi LW,
just wanted to say absolutely well done on your achievments.
Cant believe how alike your experiences/thoughts and feelings are to my own. I suppose it is the nature of this awful addictive illness that most of us on this site are experiencing.
Keep up the hard work you are putting into your recovery, I know only too well how difficult it is but even after a relapse the determination to stop becomes stronger.
Its great that you have a loving supportive family around you, they have to be a great source of inspiration for you to kick this habit for good.
Stay stong at all times and just take one day at a time.
Best wishes
Hope x
Hi LW

So sorry i was away..... checking in late!
Hi Everyone thank you for the well wishes. Sorry Mr Brightside for a late check n was on a 3 day business trip. Just literally got through the door said hell oto the family and rushed on here to say I am still gamble free and have not had any urges but i have been busy so that does help to occupy my mind...
I'm not sure what day im on but i;m sure i've hit 30 + woohoooo..
Feeling great and looking forward to a half century of gamble free. All the best and keep fighting everyone.

fella thanks for popping by,the post that enraged me yesterday was written on Tomso's thread,to be honest I am not surprised,it is not the first time the same'opinion' has been posted,it hit a nerve,as it tore into the foundation of my own recovery.
For what I am not sure,but I have traveled this road before,just like gambling it is a futile waste of time.
Keep up the great work
Duncs stepping forward never back

thanks for the post, appreciated. Acknowledge that you don't agree with my opinions, there are always different views on gambling recovery as with any subject. I just try and call it as I see it based on the knowledge and experience I have gained and also based on what I know of the person I'm posting to.
To be honest I have never read your diary at all, for a long time now I only read diaries of those who post to me plus read and post to the occasional newcomer.
best wishes with your continued recovery.
Thanks Captain lets see you at 150 mark now,
Well the weekend was a little boring for me and that is usually the most vulnerable time i feel for many of us trying to fill the void. So i literally caught up on things i have been putting off. Sending emails and work things. It's getting easier now and the urges are less frequent but i would say just as strong as when i gave up on day one. Anyway i have a busy hospital to run so will catch up with you all in a day or two.
I think its day 34 for me now amazing so happy
LW
Hey LW,
Fantastic to get to 34 days. Well done mate.
Steve
Thanks everyone 39 days clean only 11 to go for the big FIVE OH
I am traveling a lot, due to this its almost impossible to get onto the Internet but when i do, i am always checking in as bets i can. I am doing great but part of that reason is im so busy so have had zero time to think about gambling. I know this for sure tho, i am easily going to make it to 50 days clean and am very excited to maybe get a mention from Mr Brightside with honors lol.
Keep up the good work all LIFESWINNER

Fella that is a great post to read,the satisfaction abstinence is gifting you,the half century of gamble free days approaching
Then onto your next target,keep setting them,a great way to retain focus.
The one way not to celebrate milestones is to have a punt!!
Something I am sure you won't
Well done my friend
Today I salute you
