My dear friend from acorns do grow mighty oaks,for me don't be too hard on yourself,you are by no means on day 4,your recovery started back in 2008 when you first admitted your short comings,like the honourable SA you have been through the doors a few times but from each episode you learn a great deal.

Keep making those educated choices my friend

Most of all enjoy it,life is for living,that is made the more pleasureable if it is forefilled and not self self destructed.

Love the list!!

Oh and when you have finished we need ....... lol!!

Abstain and maintain

Duncs stepping forward never back

Hey,

Hope today is another day to celebrate the victory you gifted yourself in this journey 🙂

Keep up the good work dear Ade, be kind to you and the world will share with more smiles and happiness in your direction.

Stay safe..

Thank you Duncs, Michael and Sandra for your supportive posts.

Off work today due to ill health ;0(

Had to abort my trip to Ireland for my aunts funeral as I had some severe chest pain and spent 4 hours in A&E yesterday trying to get to the bottom of the problem. I f*****G hate being ill. I'm a terrible patient.

It sure takes your mind of the madness that is compulsive gambling though. Funny, I never had any inkling to gamble when I was double up in pain, hoping that another coughing fit wasn't going to leave me in agony.

Doctors are not sure whether it's linked to my cardiac problems of a couple of years ago, or pleurisy from the remnants of a chest infection back in October. Either way, there's something not quite right that's left me feeling more 95 than 45!

Another day without gambling should help me out, along with these Co-Dydramol tablets!!

Keep strong all

Ade

Evening Ade. Thanks for your comments the other day. Hope your health improves and wishing you a speedy recovery! Another day of normality done.

Thanks Sandra for your continued support.

Off work again today, and struggling to take it easy. Not really one for sitting around resting. There's always something to do in my world.

A week without gambling has helped to get my head straight, and just being back on here posting, being able to get my thoughts and feelings out in the open helps me immensely.

Keeping strong

Ade

Howdy Ade,

I love the piccy! I am not brave enough to post a selfie yet. Lol. I am glad to be reading your daily posts again. Not sure if you remember me but, I remember you. Glad to see you on the road again and am proud to be forging ahead with you. One day at a time of course. -joanxxx

Hi Ade,

Well if you cannot sit and do nothing ...maybe get that piece of wood and start creating a nice artwork. (Pinocchio popped in mind lol lol..trust me to come out with stuff like that)

Hope you will feel better as day progress.
Keep up this brilliant work, never on your own and proud to walk alongside you in this journey!

Thanks for your support again Sandra,

Feeling better today healthwise today. No gambling thoughts. Most probably as good as I've felt this calender year if i'm honest. Just feel as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders this last week.

Keep strong all.

Ade

Great to hear Ade! I feel exactly the same. On wards and upwards my friend. Really good to hear you feel better too. This group has reignited my conscious mind. I'm no longer feeling like a zombie. It's great to read stories like yours and know we aren't alone in this and that we are there, albeit virtually, for one another!

Take care

Rob
