Hi babybluesky,

Hmmm, not sure where to start lol...well done on 63 days g free!!!! A day at a time is what counts my friend and you are doing great job!! Be proud!!

Now....I feel cr** for my last post..thank you for coming by and leaving support message. The roller coaster in life and this recovery can be quite bumpy. We have good days and bad days, my little ramble yesterday, took me down full speed, but hey, ain't I come back fighting!!! Yes, we need to accept all the days my friend, sometimes it looks like no way out, but it is...need to look for it harder and we all find it eventually.

Every day counts bbsky, be proud of what you achieved so far, it is only the start of your journey, keep strong and keep fighting the good fight!! You are kind and lovely soul, u deserve nothing but happiness and peace in this life. Make it happen, slowly and steady you are heading to the right direction.

Day at a time

Keep it up dear fighter

Thank you Sandra, your kind words mean a lot and are a great support to me, glad you were back fighting fit again x

Day 68 so I believe, can't be so obsessed with the tally of days recently as I keep forgetting a day here and there.

Wrote a post last night but the site must have gone down and it didn't post., such a pain!

Not much to write today. Still got the chest infection and head cold is back grrr, felt cr** all weekend, I have a few days off till I'm back to work next weekend so will take a trip to the GP for an antibiotic.

It's my days off I find the hardest so keeping alert to the urges and will not succumb to them.

Gotta dash now, I have cc L500 to conquer lol

Fit like BBS? Foos yer Doos??

Don't worry about counting days girl - just count one at a time and I'll keep your tally going - lol!!

Get to the docs Mrs - nothing worse than feeling like cr4p when you've got so much else going on.

Enjoy your days off..........and wait, can you hear something? Hear it now? That's the sound of me breathing down your cc neck.........L440....... and the last before an 'all aboard'!!!!! Be scared girl, very scared - lol!!!

Take care quiney,

The Loon Brightside

Mr B your hilarious, ppfft you still have another 60 levels before you reach my level and by then I should be quite a few levels ahead lol. I have nothing to fear, your NEVER going to catch up with me!! ;). The only thing I can hear is you and your train puffing behind lol.

On a serious note Day 70, choo choo - opps I meant woohoo lol

I have one phrase for you challenging women........ALL ABOARD!!!! Chugga Chugga!!! Lol!!!

L443 and getting closer girls!! I have to admit that I spent a bit of money to get by 440 - not done that for a while!!

Ok, on to a serious note.....BBS - woop woop de woop woop de woop!!! 70 days Mrs is awesome!! So many woops are only reserved for significantly special achievements!! Congrats - proud to be walking with you.

Julie.......you are in my CC sights girl......I'm coming after you!!

Mr Brightside

'Ha ha julie we will unite in making sure he does not beat us lol

Watch out Mr B

So freaking bored today, it's a sure sign I'm getting better in fact it's the first day in 2 weeks I've not felt ill. I want to go and do something irrational and irresponsible. Being bored can be dangerous that's what's got me into this mess in the first place. I'm not getting the "buzz" from gambling any more and feel like I need to replace it. Can't shake this feeling until I do something about it.

Going to ask friends if they want to come out for a liquid lunch, a good blow out is in order I think. I just need to do something different today!!!

Its day 70 and I have no intention of gambling.

Day 72, Didn't do that blow out the other day, when I finished writing my post I got a call from my daughter asking if I wanted to go to her's for tea and watch a move - much preferred to do that. Had a nice steak then watched The Dallas Buyers Club, good movie would recommend it. So glad I didn't go out or drink.

Went to GP this morning and got an antibiotic, thought I was getting better till I woke up this morning - got the usual don't smoke lecture, I know she is right!! That will be my next mission. Didn't like to tell her I already took antibiotics that I had left over, this time I will finish the course, I'm my own worst enemy sometimes!!

Back to work tomorrow for the next 3 days, not thought about gambling much, did have an urge yesterday but I went to do something and soon forgot about it. Something jog's my memory last night having a dream I was gambling, can't remember much about it though.

Pay day next week so paid money into my credit cards today, money I wouldn't have had before, the debt is slowly reducing which I'm pleased about. I should have them plus my car paid before the end of the year which at the moment is a huge dent in the bank balance, life is such.

Hope everyone has a good gamble free weekend.

Fit like fine Quine??? Lol!!

I wondered if you hadn't been on yesterday 'cos you'd been hanging for irn bru, a dry roll and paracetamols!!! Steak and a film sounds good!! Congrats on Day 72, reducing the debt a bit more and on being able to look forward to payday being a positive event and not a thing to fear.......gambling vs debt payment!! End of the year is a big time for me too - need to get shot of the debt and then it's time to look at saving, maybe a holiday and positive things!!

Talking about positive things.......43 behind you now BBS - the gap must be closing!! Still stuck? Awwww, such a shame - lol!! The silence from Julie is deafening.......be afraid girls......be very afraid. The Brightside express is steaming through the levels!!

Toot toot!!! Stay strong!!!

Mr Bx

Hey bbsky,

Great post to read, thank you for sharing :-))

Debts will go down every day you keep making the right choice. More sun will shine more on you each day, b proud, keep doing what you doing and be kind to yourself.

Working on a weekend?? Join the club lol (we do get few clubs here lol, not to mention insomniacs, and cc competition lol)..

Day at a time

P.s. well done on day 73!! Fantastic achievement, keep it up

Sandra x

Just a quick update.

Wouldn't normally write on a work night but thought I would reply.

Thanks Mr B, Julie and Sandra, had a quick look on here today on my break and burst out laughing at your posts, my colleagues just looked at me like I was mad, you's made my day, I found it very uplifting, it's such a great quality to make others laugh I like in a person.

Yeah Yeah Mr B yes I am still stuck on 500 but that's because I don't cheat lol, Tut Tut!!!!

I refuse to pay for the boosters or lives.

Julie, hope you are well, we have nothing to worry about, we have just slowed down to give him a chance, we will not be beaten!!

Sandra, sorry your working at the weekend also, our weekend will start on Sunday night and just think of that long lie on Monday 🙂

Kind words from you all, Take Care xx

Day 73. No urges today.

Morning ladies!!!

Why is it that I am beginning to feel ganged up on? It's like the 3 of you are huddled around a pot of boiled sweets, cackling and Sandra turns to Julie and says, "when shall we three meet again, in jellies, colour bombs or in stripes" and the Brightside curse rises from the pot........and the cackling begins........BBS dancing a victory jig!!

Well, this lune has one heck of a fissog on him. The Brightside express has slowed down and I'm more like Ivor the Engine!! Pah!!!

Anyway, just a wee check in to say hi, have a good sleep club insomniac and keep strong today ya bunch of crazy quines!!!

Pssshhhhhh te coo, pssssshhhhhh te coo!!! Lol!!

Mr Bx

Hi Babybluesky

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say well done on day 73 and its not long now before we get to that magic number 100!

Oh and I also was a CC addict some time ago but quit on level 380. It was driving me insane so I deleted it off my FB! Then started farm heros which is even worse lol! Gonna have to delete that soon too!

Linda

Your sounding a bit paranoid Mr B lol!! It's ok we wont be starting up a new club against you lol. Great post again this week on the 2014 challenge, so thanks for that 🙂

Thanks Linda, looking forward to the 100 day milestone as well, so well done to you also. I know what you mean, I've been stuck on L500 for a good couple of months now, normally I'm quite good at it lol, would have deleted it by now but am more than determined to get past it now Mr B is catching up. It's also a good way of distracting me from the urges. Played Farm Heroes as well but didn't find it addictive lol.

Day 76

Not a lot happening. Day off today, can't do much as I've changed shifts so I'm back to work tomorrow. Getting slightly obsessed by money again, keep checking the balance - Nope the gambling industry didn't steal it while I was sleeping and the money is still there.

Pay day on Thursday, that will be 2 Calendar months where I have been paid and not spent a single penny on gambling.

I still look at scratch cards with lust when I'm in a shop lol. I have even thought of watching other people gambling to satisfy my cravings - So BIZARRE I know!!

These thoughts are few and far between and are becoming less intense. I've came to far to act upon them.

At one point through out the weekend I actually forgot I was a recovering gambler, at least I'm not thinking about it 24/7 anymore.

For the moment I'm safe - I wont be gambling today.

hi bbs

I totally know what you mean about the scratchcards lol! I had such a habit of buying at least one every time I went to shop for anything! It must have added at least 5-7 pounds to a bill each time I went for petrol, shopping etc.. Nightmare! Now when I see people buying a scratchcard I thank my lucky stars that I will not and thats that!

Linda

lol Linda, I need to adopt your attitude, I always wonder what they have won and that could have been mine lol. I will try saying that to myself the next time
