Day 1 - being honest with myself

Morning S

17 days and going strong and determined

Very well done

Just think how you will feel when your husband comes through the door tonight and you can greet him honestly and openly without the insanity of having lost more money on gambling

You will feel soooo good and sooo positive

and it won't have cost you a penny to feel that good

Good morning Diary. day 18. TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE. feeling down which has nothing to do with my gambling but can trigger a relapse but I know if I gamble Ill feel 10 times worse so again TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE. x

Hi S

Well done on 18 days

Push through the lows because as you say you would feel 100 times lower if you relapsed

Stay strong and positive and keep going

Good morning Diary, Day 20 TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE. i feel as though I may feel pushed back into a dark place in the next couple of weeks, if, as I suspect my ovarian cancer has returned. This is when I turn to gambling as a way to forget , even just for a few minutes. Another world where the spinning reels determine things. but not today TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE XX

Hi S

Sending you positive thoughts

Have a good stress free day and stay strong

Good morning Diary. TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE Day 21 thats 3 weeks! im actually doing this! abstaining and feeling better for it. This weekend wont be easy as Im on my own for much of it cos hubbys working but theres housework to be done (deep joy) and the gardening to be sorted oh and maybe a little bit of retail therapy 🙂 TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE X

Good morning

A very wise fella told me it takes 21 days to change a habit and then a lifetime to face up to addiction.

I can feel the change in your posts,a huge well done for your commitment to recovery.

You have a list of things to do today,the last one that continued abstinence will continue to offer

Retail therapy!!

A fantastic way to celebrate

With each purchase smile to yourself,think you could foolishly gift that purchase to addiction

f**k in my gambling life I went to get milk far too many times which ended up costing 300!! the daily withdraw amount!!

Be kind to yourself,you are doing something amazing

You are a winner and through choice can remain one.

Duncs stepping forward never back

Thanks for yr kind words of support Dunc. You and Suzanne are my inspirations if Im honest. You sound like you are both so wise . I love your use of 'gifted', well today Im gifting myself another gamble free day 🙂

Morning S

3 whole weeks of abstaining and maintaining how good does that feel very well done

Stay strong and positive and enjoy your day

Gambling free ofcourse

Retail therapy I wished, lol enjoy

Take care
