179 Days Gamble Free
What a great day today.Â
Joined up with many friends on the Good Mind Circles walk today. It was a good walk into the city, museum tour, lunch and walk back to the car. Managed to talk to everyone at the walk. My daughter came with me which made me so proud.Â
Tonight I went to the chatroom on here which as always was good. Followed that with GA online which is my 50th of my 90 in 90 days.Â
Need to try and get the referencing done tomorrow so we can get the house we saw on Saturday.Â
Going to be doing GA Monday to Thursday this week as going to an open meeting on Wednesday so will be missing the chatrooms which is a downside as I love going to them. I think I'm getting close to 270 chatrooms on hereÂ

Hi Pink, my friend and sister from another mister, southerner to Liver bird across the counties and across the tinternetÂ
Keep meaning to email you. It's not a bet at all but can we have a deal. I can see you out on the road in front of me, showing me the way. Would it be ok for us to both keep at the same pace with you 70 days in front. Leave the rear lights on so I can the way you are leading and I'm happy with that. There is a reason why the rear view mirror is smaller than the front windscreen
Pink apples all the wayÂ
Day 182
What a fantastic day. Simply couldn't be better.
Hopefully signing for a new house tomorrow. Amazing open meeting tonight..No thoughts of gambling, just complete calmÂ
Amazing news. Love a feelgood post. Congrats on all you've achieved and on being an inspiration to many in here. Keep chasing that pink lady. She's a fighter, and a legend, and will give you a great run for your money (in a non gambly way!)
Stay strong 👍Â

Thank you Taz and Fish, you really are true friends.Â
For me, positivity is growth and recovery more than abstinence. Blocks give me abstinence but the work I put in gives me recovery.
Negativity is where my addiction lies, asleep, ready to strike. That road to self pity that I've walked down a million times currently has a no entry sign and I keep working to keep it that way. The dragon may sleep but one small poke and he roars louder than ever beforeÂ
Put in the work and I'm ok. Never perfection but it allows me to be at peace with lifeÂ
Day 183
What a day. Went to see a house on Saturday and received contract today so it looks like we got it !!!
It's been a tough six weeks looking at homelessness but we might just be saved. Phew
It's been two weeks of gratitude and I'm going to post mine here from the morning in case I lose itÂ
I'm grateful forÂ
1. A great room last night full of strength
2. The hope that we may well have a home agreed today
3. Simplicity. My brain is so different now to the chaos over the years. I can think much more clearly now
4. Learning so much each day. Being able to listen and process. To reflect each day on how I've acted over those 24 hours. To develop in some small way each day. To understand what is good and what isn't and appreciate that. To not give myself too hard a time, recognise and look to improve. To take things for what they are, know what my side is in every situation take a step back and know when I am wrong
5. To live a life where there is no need for excuses.
6. Learning that perfection is a false state of arrogance, selfishness, ego and qualities that might addiction thrives behind.Â
7. To not look for shortcuts. There aren't any, they are not needed or wanted in my life
8. Belief that although I work one day at a time, those days are building something beautiful in life. Something that I don't want to lose where there is no room or need for addiction. That's not a place of complacency it's a state of mind. If I put in the work it works.
9. Humility, service and empathy lost for so many years because I thought they showed weakness to other people. My feelings, my thoughts and my hopes are mine. Its guidance and learnings that help me to understand them, embrace them and not hide.
10. My gratitude, one word of the day is just a word that needs no explaining. It's PEACE
