Ade you have beat me with your quote.
"It's always good to look back, but never stare"
been racking my brains for hours definetely came across it but cannot remember where. Have been searching through books and still cant find where i know it from. Also downloaded your game 2048 and not stopped playing last few hours. High score of 5208 but hope to smash that again soon.
Enjoy ur weekend mate and hope your daughter is feeling better
Searched that book tonight as well and could not see quote will have a look again. f**k me 59000 thought i was doing good at 6000. Well at least i know what my challenge for the coming week is.
Thanks for the posts Ginge and Gregg.
Two fat ladies for me today!! Yeeeeeeha!! ;0)

Keep strong all
Ade
When you say you had two fat ladies, I hope you're talking about the birds ;-). The weekend dares to show its face once more, not too long to go till we're back in the saddle, but for now I've got a cheeky drink in hand!
Glad to read gambling isn't showing its horrible face in your thought once again, keep up the good work!
keep it up ade, keep the thoughts at bay, but u know as well as most that one thought is only a minute away, keep them barriers up fella.
Cheers Ade got chapter your talking about. He definetely likes looking back our Kev. If you search the phrase looking back in the book you get 19 results. Nearly as many as outwith lol
well i have just smashed 6000 onwards and upwards
ps the sound on that game is so annoying
Thanks for the posts Ryan, Dan and Gregg,
Day 88 in recovery and the weekend is among us......
Keep strong all, and look after your golf balls.

Thanks for the posts Ginge, Sandra, Juuuuuuuune and Suzanne.
Have navigated today safely, although I did have a minor wobble when heading into town earlier. But managed to banish those stupid thoughts that had somehow managed to get me walking in the direction of the bookies with the intent of gambling. The time was 2:50 P.m, and I'm not to sure where it came from, but it proves to me that the addiction is ALWAYS there.....
Keeping strong.
Ade
Hi Ade,
Yep it's always there at the back somewhere, but they are just stupid thoughts, that we can dismiss and it does get easier to dismiss them as as recovery gets stronger and stronger, just have to stay one step ahead at all times.
Have a great evening with your golf balls, today will have made you even stronger.

Cheers ade glad you walked on by the bookies. It is just habit especially at that time of day. Have had a busy today just sat down to watch city and newcastle game with a few corona. Bought myself a new pair of gazelle the other day with money im saving. Have always been into my clobber but the past two years i have really renewed my interest which has coincided with me losing interest in gambling. Couple of cracking shops in glasgow specialising in 80s gear. Think i got my first pair of gazelle down ur neck of the woods in one of our jaunts to lillywhites.
Well done for not succumbing earlier, Ade. It just goes to show that whether we are on Day 1, Day 50, Day 100 or Day 500, an urge can strike at any time with potentially devastating consequences.
Keep on the straight and narrow. I want to see you hit your century soon.
Affected by gambling?
