Easy does it!

your on the up..i'm also easy going then if the line is not only crossed but is well and truly stamped over repeatedly ..then the gloves are off..

A good motto that im still trying to learn is :

Do me over once... shame on them

Do me over twice...shame on me.

take care...

Feeling very tired tonight and feeling sorry for myself for some reason. Just got to get on with it. I feel I am moving on in recovery but not sure where. A little scared as I am not sure what life has in store for me. I should be more adventurous and take a leap of faith. One thing I know is life is sometimes mundane but I have to accept it for what it is, I can do nothing about changing some things but i can change the way I think. Work in progress for now but i don't want to be saying this forever.

Take care

hey Smiler....just popping by before lights out to say that i'm following your diary ...daunting going into uncharted territory....you could make it a bungee leap so you can always spring back to a safe platform.... take care ....

Hi Smiler

As they say in GA accept the things you can not change and have the courage to change the things you can, sounds like your right on top of that.

All though life can sometimes just tick along, you have so many more choices and opportunities now that you don't gamble.

Take care

Hi

Hope you are feeling a bit brighter today.

Once again hit by the fact that you can discribe how I for one feels. Shouldn't there be more to life than this ?

Perhaps not, or there is but we have to go out and get it, or maybe everybodyies life is mundane.

Any way , to move on. Have a great weekend, try not to work too much , hopefully you will find some me time.

I am feeling a little tired so I guess that's where the irritability comes from. I have to post it but not looking for sympathy as I have a great deal to be thanful for. As Keith says accept what we can't change and change what we can. It is simple in words but doing it is tricky. Recovery is a whole new way of thinking and sometimes we have casualties with a new me. It is one of those facts of life and we have to be heard otherwise we get trodden all over. I hope these posts don't get you down as recovery is good if we work it as best we can. Life without gambling is better than with .

Take care

Yo,

Your posts never get me down, they are insightful and with that insight comes for me a realisation that I am not alone in my perception of things.

Respect

Dusty

Hoping that you are around so that you can take ownership of your 500th post!

your posts don't get me down Smiler...your allowed to feel things and express them...it comes with no condition or time limit....xx sometimes the pendulum has to swing the other way and then restore balance.xx

Hiya Smiler

Thanks so much for your message 🙂

How are you today? I hope okay. Hug. xo

Hope you don't mind me saying, i think you've said yourself... but maybe a wee holiday would do you good? This recovery and working our balls off is exhausting, if you are in the position to have a break, plan something? it would be something to look forward too? Might have a settling effect if you know what I mean?

Take care..keep strong.

Love Del x

Came down with a cold so not feeling too good. I'll get a break soon but not sure where. Hope all is well with everyone. Mind was racing today with the football on for some reason. At least it will get switched off in next few days as I cancelled sky.

Take care

Hiya Smiler...just sending you some good vibes for this weekend...take care...Rach and Dotty x

Hi smiler

Thanks for your support on my diary hope your better soon.

Feeling sorry for myself with this flipping cold. No reason to really but I fall into victim mode at times like this (LOL). Gambling is farthest thing from my mind at present so all good. Sorry to hear one or two people struggling! Nearly at a point where I can take life a little easier as two major debts cleared up. Only one to go and I can leave that on the back burner and go slow with it. Although debts will be settled I have learned an awful lot about how this makes me feel. Therefore I will save up for anything in the future as debts get me down and might have been partly responsible for why I gambled. It's a mad world sometimes! Take care

That cold will go away.

Gambling urges will never go away.

It will always be up to us how we deal with those urges when they come.

And it seems that you are coping with them in totally the right way.

Bet you're looking forward to getting those two major debts cleared up, just remember never ever to get yourself in that position again.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
