Thank you for your comment above ODAAT and to everyone for "S" contributions. I'm going for Stability - which I hope to achieve at some point!
My goals for today in no particular order: to be a good husband to my wife who is working a 12-hour shift, to be honest and considerate, have a bit of fun with my friends, do at least a third of The Times crossword, not gamble, reflect (not dwell) on recent events and - if it happens - help anyone in need cross the road (!)
Dear diary: I achieved all of the above AND managed half of The Times crossword but didn't help anyone in need cross the road. More importantly, I helped a friend in "crisis" hopefully with a different issue and had no interest in betting despite briefly being in a pub with racing on which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I'm reflecting on recent events still but I'm ok although still obviously a bit upset and will hopefully be back chatting with a different approach and without the chip on my shoulder I think I sometimes had. All the best, Phil.

Important parts of life & not just for recovering gamblers.
Thank you. I'm going for Tenacity. Best wishes, Phil
Today I will spend a lot of time on my own but I am committed in my own way to not gamble. My wife is doing a long shift and lots of my friends are at the Millennium Stadium for "Judgement Day" - as spectors, a cameraman and a steward. I have also been putting thought into attending GA's one and only Cardiff meeting next Thursday. Best wishes, Phil.
T: Today
because this is the day that matters the most!
Thank you ODAAT
T = Thankful - for the things I have got instead of the things I haven't!

Ugly - gambling - enough said!
