...

Hi ya... just wanted to say hi. Of course I relate to your last post. Letting it all build up and then pressing self destruct is also my calling card. But I guess most of us are flawed individuals. We are what we are and we keep moving forward. Time stops for no one.

Great idea on the 90 day thread. helping yourself and your fellow soldiers!

Take care... S.A 🙂

Hi Sandra,

I hope that you are okay. I have been trying and failing to beat my gambling addiction for a few years now. I am on day 47 today of my latest and hopefully final attempt. I would love to join the 90 day thread please. My username is No more.

Thank you.

Best wishes

Dave

Hello lovely lady

think several of us pressed the self destruct at the same time and booooom bits of us flying everywhere.

Sticking the pieces back together with supaglue but bought glue in the poundshop and bits falling off again everywhere.

I think of you so very often and your wonderful support, I wish you so much in your life to make you happy and bring you that balance you so deserve.

When I get back from abroad I will begin to post again if I can find my 'tread'. The dragonflies were flying round the lilypads in the river today, an omen that it is time. I will be back!!!.

Hi Sandra

Thanks for your post on my diary.
Everything you said made perfect sense, give yourself some credit & stop doubting your thoughts around addiction.

I think your pretty aware of what you need to do but are just not sure where to start with the monumental effort required in confronting your demons.

Recovery requires a concept alien to most addicts. Short term pain for long term happiness. Most of us have spent a lifetime doing the complete opposite, indulging in instant gratifacation & to hell with the consequences.

This isnt about stopping gambling its about starting living.
All our angers, fears, resentments & self harms from the past & present need to be faced in order to leave it behind & to stop it dragging us back under.

Time to stop fighting & to begin surrendering.
This is where you will find the strength, hope, & motivation needed to find the new you.

I cant pretend to you it will be easy but i can promise you it will be worth it.

If you ever need anything from me never be afraid to ask. No boundaries, no judgement, just addict to addict.

Hey Sandra!

Been having a proper catch up on your diary. Time at the beach is wonderful for the soul! I'm trying to decipher all of the codes though, lol. OAU? HD?

There has been a huge energetic shift in this world, and sensitive souls are really feeling all over the place. Me? Well I'm weeping and wailing into a cushion one minute, then laughing at funny youtube vids the next. I'm just letting it flow, riding along, expressing myself. Lots of ancient repressed emotions flowing out of me. Better out than in 🙂

Hope you have a great weekend, my dear.

Hi Sandra
Thanks for popping over,
I am on the Challenge still despite bornagain now not running it and all the chaos surrounding his departure.
Life sounds quite interesting your end, but just deal with 1 thing at a time and am sure it will all sort out.
Hope you enjoy your time with little D
Take care my friend
