Thank you Scotty. I replied on your diary.
Getting quite excited now with only a week to go ?
Thoughts of Santa's reindeer running thru the snow
On my note to santa
I said no gifts for me
But please support all gamcare friends
In staying gamble free
Aum x x x
Hope you read this Stace.
I was just looking to post in your diary but cannot find it.
Sincerely hoping you are feeling ok.
Best wishes

3 days to Christmas and so excited think I might explode ???.
Will be on the pier with binoculars 5-30 ish hoping to see the Great Conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn.
Some cloud obscured it last night which was when we officially entered the Age Of Aquarius but might be clearer tonight.
The start of the new age which will focus on compassion, control and camaraderie.
No more wars and the peoples of the world will learn to live in harmony and treat the universe, the world and everything on it with love, support and kindness.
Love and best wishes to everyone on the diaries.
We were lost but are now trying to find our way home.
Om ah hum ? Om ah hum ? Om ah hum
Haha thank you Stace ???.
Great chatroom this evening. Very supportive with good advice given and received.
Looking forward to the Peeraid Chatroom tomorrow morning between 10 & 11. Think I will take along some cakes and coffee.
Best wishes to everyone.

Thank you Stace.
Always good to see you supporting others in the chatroom.
Plenty of wisdom, camaraderie and understanding friends in there which makes me feel a part of something bigger and stronger than I am by myself.
As daft as it may seem I still do not understand gambling addiction but maybe one day it will all make sense to me.
Take care dear friend.
Be positive and keep your chin up.

Thank you Stace ???.
Hope you are having a good day.
Hello Diary.
A good day but every day is good nowadays.
Retired and living the dream.
Gamble free for several months with no concerns around money.
Many many years since I abused my body with cigarettes or alcohol and I have never taken drugs.
Fortunate to be able to enjoy a healthy and nutritious vegetarian diet.
Exercising daily, going for walks and trying to maintain a level of fitness.
COPD is my biggest concern but keeping lungs exercised.
Frozen shoulder limiting movement in left arm but taking tablets from Holland & Barrett and hoping it gets better.
Life is an adventure and I am determined to make every second count.
Om ah hum
Om ah hum
Om ah hum
Had a great walk this afternoon.
It was chucking it down with rain but I love that when I am wearing waterproofs..
Clears my head and helps me to think straight.
Life is good.
Two more sleeps to Christmas.
Lets rock n roll ???
Hi Stephen hope you are well I just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas and thank you for your support and hope to catch up with you soon.

By staying gamble free

Thank you Scotty. I know how you feel because my sibling is the same. Don't get angry dear friend just take it on the chin. Stand up tall and be proud of what you have achieved.
We all know the gambling was a big mistake but it was in the past and that is where it will stay.
Hello Diary.
Gamble free Christmas has been excellent.
Made myself some tasty snacks and enjoyed some good walks.
Love and best wishes to everyone.

Gamblers all around
Of every shape and size
Confused and deluded
Tired of all the lies
Lucky ones find Gamcare
And work on their recovery
With kindly gamcare friends
Who really are quite luvverly
Problems do not go away
When one is gamble free
But they can be well managed
When we have eyes that see
Love and best wishes to everyone.

Aum i just wanted to say thanks for all kind posts you have given me ive decided to get rid of diary and go away for some time
But i want to wish you all the best in your recovery
I appreciate the support you stace dean anď others have given me.
Keep up with your wonderful poems, recovery and support to others x
?
Greatly appreciate your post Lou but think I am the one who should be thanking you for being my friend and supporting me over the last year.
Was thinking about you earlier when I read an article in the news telling of the trauma nursing staff are experiencing on hospital wards and how they are having to work extremely hard in very difficult circumstances.
For NHS staff like yourself who have other issues to contend with it must be far far worse and I have the greatest respect and admiration for the way you have bravely battled on in the face of adversity.
Please don't leave us because you are a well loved member of the gamcare community and I feel honoured and privileged to be walking by your side.
Love and best wishes.
Stephen x x x
