Thank you so much Scotty.
You have always been there helping me in recovery and I will forever be grateful for your support.
Several months into recovery now and feeling very confident so think the time has come for me to move on.

Thank you for popping by Stace ???. I have just replied on you diary.
Hello Diary.
Looking out from my twelfth floor window at the city of Hull and the beautiful River Humber.
Days like this make me very happy.
Soon be off for my stroll around the old dock and marina where I feed the ducks and a coot before walking to the pier and river.
When I first started feeding the ducks several weeks ago I was advised to continue it throughout the winter and that us what I promised I would do.
It gives me so much pleasure and one coot and two ducks in particular see me coming and paddle over to get their daily dose of oats which I throw on the water.
Funny to watch them eating (like mini vacuum cleaners) ???. They have to be quick though because the oats sink after a minute or two. I have been adding some dried mealworms but concerned that the mealworms are treated cruelly so have stopped buying them.
Funny enough I am benefitting greatly because some days I do not feel like going out but force myself to do so because I dont want the ducks and coot to be sad and after I feed them I seem to get a fresh burst of energy and stay out for a few more hours and enjoy a cup of coffee from a shop near the pier.
Wishing everyone a good gamble-free day.

Yesterday I purchased some confectionery to last me several days and have finished eating it all. The last 3 Yorkie Bars have just disappeared in the blink of an eye ???.
The only solution is not to buy it in the first place.

Overcast raining and rather dull
Which makes a change for sunny old Hull
But off I go for a walk see the sights
And on the way home have a look at the lights
???
Seven degrees and raining
Raining all day long
Not the weather for flip flops or a summer thong
So I will don my waterproofs
And set off with a smile
To feed my friends the ducks and talk to them a while
In truth they are my counsellers
Who listen to my woes
Paddling around with little legs
And teeny weeny toes
??????
Wishing everyone a quacker of a Sunday.

Boarded the gamble free train
Its engine started to roar
The driver blew his whistle
And quickly closed the door
The GamCare Special started to roll
And we all glanced around
GamCare friends on a mission
Not to fool around
Some days if we were vulnerable
Gamstop was our shining armour
Along with blocks and exclusions
That made us feel much calmer
But the truly magical ingredient
So far as I can see
Is the wonderful GamCare friends
Who are making this journey with me
And I would like to thank them
From my beating heart and soul
For the times when I felt weary
And they held me so I would not fall
I salute my gamcare brothers and sisters.
With respect.
From Aum x x x.
