Diary of boo radley

Morning another lockdown weekend. 

To be honest motivation zero. But I'm going to dress and do a walk. I think. I'm in the same space as everyone at the mo. Uncertain and worried thst Coming out of lockdown too soon will cause havoc.

I've noticed my eating habits thus last week are rubbish so I'm going to correct thst.. Poor excuses for eating garbage will not do 

What beautiful weather. Glorious today. 

Mind far away from gambling. And I hope everyone is coping with triggers n urges. 

Until laters all

Hello all. Hello diary. Well I'll be honest I've felt very un joyful few days now. Felt like wading through treacle. It's all norm at mo though so let's not dwell on thst one.

Today more sparky but tired with work and groundhog day feeling I think. I can't get interested in much but don't feel totally depressed. It's a funny one. Just swimming in unchartered territory sums if up. 

No gambling. No want to either but I'd love a sale rail tesco hour. I want a day off from world of corona. 

Concentrating on eating better too..i won't go on too much on thst one.. All ha Bessie bunter. 

Anyway hope all and everyone is well 

Take care 

Boo???

Hi Boo,

Im sorry to hear that you’ve had a tough few days. Know that this will eventually pass and things will begin to return to normal. You have shown tremendous resilience during your time on this forum and those qualities will get you through the lockdown and on to happier times.

Take care.

Hey Boo,

Your post made my day. Tried to catch you on chat recently without success maybe there comes a time in recovery when we outgrow certain things. Barney's 12 weeks old now & what a big lump he is, it scares me how big he's going to be.

Treatment going ok just 1 more 9 hour chemo session on wednesday  followed by radio therapy  by which time i'd have completed 15 of 25 sessions. Funny how when addiction fades common sense kicks in. I look back at those awful days when i sat at home alone gambling from dusk till dawn & probably would never have sought medical attention in the first place. Isn't it mad how much gambling can consume one & redirect us from common sense.

Your posts are inspirational, thanks for giving us the benefit of your experience & knowledge. Remember knowledge is power. I'm 65 on the 29th & when my Mrs asked what i'd like i asked for a mountain bike. Guess what ? it was delivered last Saturday & when lockdown & treatment is over i can pedal off into the sunset. Barney & I got some plans too, long walks exploring nature & just enjoying each others company. Who knows maybe if he travels ok in my car he'll meet Bobby one day.

Even though i'm not around much i still read posts, so stay strong, stay on track & stay in touch. You're doing great & every time you post i find comfort & strength. Give my love to Drama & Murlo if you're still in touch.

Sincere Best Wishes

Good afternoon. 

Not feeling too bad today. Meant to call into 1pm chat but had a problem with a radiator so hopefully sorted.

No gambling urges or desires still but feeling more confident into moving into a new kind of normal when able to connect again with friends.

I'm sure like everyone I've appreciated the quiet of late but also not liked the long separations. Anyway one way or another I think folk will make there own minds up and start doing what they feel best and productive for them. I wish all well in whatever phase they move into 

Weather here is lovely.. And with lockdown we can appreciate the beauty of nature as there is no rush or hurry at the mo. 

Wishing you all well and speak soon

Boo ?

Hello all. 

Hope all is well. 

Had a couple days off dary. Felt OK

But stifled by everything. 

Feel stronger today. 

Sunshine here it's great. 

Off for a walk soon.. Work is crazy busy but the day goes quick.

I think people are getting out more now. Let's hope they are sensible. 

No gamble desires urges or triggers. Hope the same for all on gamcare. 

Hope to join chat this week. 

All for now 

Boo???

Afternoon. 

Not much to say. I. Feeling quite relaxed and settled, not to say I don't have a wobble during these anxious times but I suppose everything is evolving into becoming a norm. 

No gambling urges or triggers. I did drive past a casino the other day on the way to shop and wondered if ever will they re. Open, who knows, but I suppose folks will find a way. 

Blessed with the weather and I have had a bit of mo. Jo and done two days of run of 5 miles and a walk. Fresh air so therapeutic. The beauty of nature 

I'm working all weekend so will re.appear next week. 

Until then. 

Wishing you well and safe keeping.. 

Boo ???

Boo,

Delighted to learn that youre doing well and that youve been out running.

Take care.

Morning. 

Tesco to start the day. 

3 days off and good weather to boot.

Gambling. Still gf. Still some days mopping up the consequences of the feelings I should have more cash in the bank. Thst said on a positive no debt. That's not to gloat. But lockdown gives too much time to think. And I do feel more relaxed at the mo. I don't feel as anxious as I did. I hope all here are feeling easy too.

So let's get this day started.. A nice hot brew. 

Till laters all. 

Today I will not gamble 

Boo ???

Hey Boo,

I hope everything is ok in your world and that you’re having a fabulous day.

RR

Morning all 

Beautiful day here. 

I'm out to walk today. No gambling desires. So good. 

Lockdown continues but hope the ease does not exacerbate a surge in cases. 

Deffo starting to eat better now. I've been a lockdown guzzler... So its time to reign things in. 

Hope you are all well. Stay safe. He happy. 

Love boo
