Hiya 🙂 thanks my dear friends

Diary,

Well, another day in recovery. Another 10 miles complete in my run and just a little more motivation bein found recently. Good...tiny steps forward ☺

Bk in working land and no issues there so far. Sleep or shall i say lack of it is bk in the picture...so..same old same old lol

Little goal set for July. Get myself out for a good festival, only now started to look forward to it which is positive also. Only wish is lovely weather..but sometimes ya cannot have it all can ya 😉

in a mood of music so excuse me for getting on all of your nerves lol.gals gotta do what they gotta do sometimes 🙂

No gambling - no problem. Looking ahead and saving saving saving so my life can kick start again. A bit more normality and my own place is just long term goal i set for myself..plus a dog of course! Anything is possible if i keep making the right choice 🙂

Hi Sandra
Great positive post and great to have goals. Never been a festival gal myself as I don't look good in wellies :0).
Life feels so much better when the suns out and the gambling demon is laid to rest.
Keep positive and enjoy your weekend

Hey S, a doggie on the cards eh, will do you good to have a special little friend to love, and they love us back unconditionally lol.

Great to see you looking ahead and planning stuff, (you never know the sun may be out at the fest and you won't need wellies)

Tiny steps forward little friend making those right choices for YOU.

Take care and be safe

Keep positive Sandra.

Your doing well and inspiring others. We are all going to be big winners in the long run.

We are in this together!

Hi Sandra, as Juuune will be the first to tell you I'm the king of cryptic :-)...OAU..is onwards and upwards, i have Junie to thank for that abbreviation..soz for the confusion Ginge now realises it only makes sense if you read a certain post 🙂

i loved your positive upbeat post to your diary..saving saving saving that's the way to go girl...building that pot up for the good things in life, it's so true we all need targets Sandra, whether short term or long term that's what makes recovery so rewarding when we reach them.. my next target is a May Day weekend away....and in July I predict it'll be sun sun sun so don't worry about the fest weather....as for Ginger land it's not as ginge as it used ta be, its more Ed Sheeran meets fifty shades of grey lol..but Ginger none the less :-)...keep making the right choices Sandra I'll try to do likewise...OAU...Ginger x

Hi all and thank you so much for your unconditional support

Dear diary,

Was toying with the idea if just leave my diary to be or come and let you all who reads it know that i am taking a break from the site. I don't read as much anymore for many reasons. ...one of them is my constant running lol...i am connecting with the nature..maybe my higher power been found 🙂
I was thinking to thank you all individually because every single one of you on this site helped me big deal in my journey...but as more i think as less words i can come up with :-)...must be my anxiety at a times...sorry..

I am taking it day at a time. I will never give up and will be touching the base now and again.

I thank you one and all, i found so many friends on here....i was gifted my life back and im not saying it lightly...i owe you all
Dear SA...i know you still hurt..i am extending my supportive hand and if you like please get my email from the admin..i am here and always will be here listening..on good bad and the ugly. Don't go through this on your own.

New comers...please keep believing in yourselves..there is life out there after what it seems like a crash in our lives, choices are out there for you, you can turn this around. Day at a time.

I shall catch you all in near future and the ones i have a honour to communicate behind forum walls, I'm bere for you 24/7 unconditionally

Take care all and stay safe

Sandra x

Hey Sandra...all the best for the future, keep punching above your weight..keep on running, stay fit, stay healthy, stay safe, and without doubt rave on Girl...OAU ;-)....Ginger x

Thank you all my dear friends ...

Dear diary,

I did fail today. I had a choice to start the disaster or phone a friend. I did pick the wrong option. 5 min - 2 deposits. Gone, dusted.

Will try again, just need to make some more barriers to keep safe. (Gamblock keeps coming off my phone?!)..
I need a change, not gambling is not enough...my life has stalled and needs restarting again.
Work in progress,. Will not give up

Take care all and stay safe

5 mins Coo Coo...5 weeks ago you wouldn't have stopped @ 5 hours so be proud that you found the strength to walk away!

That is progress & as we know it's progress not perfection with this 'disease'! You don't need me to tell you I am proud of you but I wanted to do it in a public forum so here I am, feeling mighty proud 🙂

You know the drill girl & I know how far you have come! You WILL find that sunrise, I know you will - ODAAT

5 minutes and then stopping sure is progress my little friend,

Walking along side with you as always.

Take care and keep safe .
