Hi Boo,

I have experienced similar to what you describe. You think you turned a corner and it's getting easier and then urges come flooding back from nowhere. It's just the wavy line that life is, I promise. It'll peak briefly, sometimes but the waves will get flatter. You know, like one of them medical wave things. Except the opposite, haha, cos the flatlines are a bad thing, medically! haha, I'm daft as a brush but I'm sure you'll decipher what I mean. Ups and downs fewer and further between on average, eventually.

Thanks freda. I felt like my feelings were colliding with each other first thing and then I settled. 

To be honest it's not even 3 months yet so it's early. I did get vexed at a driver who didn't indicate today so my feelings were vented. 

I've got that fatigue now because fighting feelings is hard. 

But I've had a nice curry for tea.. Just having a brew and wait for Mr b r get back from footie. 

Oh and I sorted three drawers of unwanted stuff out and my wardrobe... So productive day.... Lots of love freda.

Boo ?

Night. 

All in all got there today. No gambling. 

Next 3 day are occupied so no chance of gambling even if I could get to a casino. 

I feel better than on waking. 

Tomorrow run planned and meal with birthday friend.. 34 of us.. 

Thanks for chat.. The banter is great. But please if there's too much levity just ask for more solemnity.. 

We all have our struggles and tender moments 

Night all 

Boo

I feel happy that you are ending the day feeling better than at the start boo. As you say it is hard work fighting the demons.

I hope you enjoy your meal tomorrow, the thought of 34 folk would fill me with horror, I am not good with big gatherings ??

Sleep well boo ?

Hi Boo,

Sorry to hear that you’ve struggled today but delighted to learn that you were able to deal with it. That tells you everything that you need to know. You can deal with difficult times and move forward. Today is just a day nothing more. Tomorrow is another opportunity to have a better experience. I suppose that is why they say “one day at a time”.

Tomorrow’s plans sound fun. Have a tremendous day.

Thanks for posting on my diary I appreciate it.

RR

Hi Boo,

You've done fantastic. Gambling's a devil & the devil will never let us go without a fight. He had me in his clutches for more than 4 decades. The anguish, the torture, the desire will probably come knocking on your door again anytime soon. Is it easy HELL NO, is it worth it YOU BET, I ain't been this happy in years, Does he still come knocking at my door or whisper in my ear after 16 months ?. YES SOMETIMES IF I'M HONEST  but the more you refuse to listen, or answer the door the easier it becomes & the rewards are far greater than being hooked on this cancerous addiction. You can realise a potential within yourself beyond your wildest dreams without it.

Stay Strong

Morning. 

Thanks all for your input on my diary. None of if has fallen on stoney ground. 

January blues.. Always gets me.. 

But I know they will pass. 

Got plans going on 

Being measured for 2 new windows this week then getting decorating done.kitvhen is having a face-lift then it's plan a break. 

I will do a little overtime.. I have had the money several times over.. No guesses where it went. But let's not dwell on more misery. I have a little pension when I finish work. I did have a pension pot. Spent some wisely as in paid my mortgage off. Had some holidays. Moved house but frittered a lot.. I could have retired next year had my head been screwed on right.. But. If. Only. Could go on forever with that one. 

In four years we have done a lot to this house. So praise also where praise is due 

Going get ready for the day ahead. 

Let's hope its kind to us all. Until later.. 

Boo ?

Morning boo,

I think the term "frittered" for tired is so cute. Never heard that before! I hope today isn't over busy. Hope you are wearing the badge for your boss ?
