Hi S&B
i can relate to how you are feeling, the lost and loneliness thoughts and the wishing to be shown the way. All we can do is keep abstaining and let time take it's course. None of can predict the future all we can do is create a brighter one for ourselves. We've all got angels looking over us and the good times will come back. Patience is a difficult one isn't it and the wanting of what we had before gambling intervened.
I wish you well for the rest of the month, January is especially hard

Hi S&B
it is always a pleasure to comment and help when I can.
Humans are impatient creatures and we do all remember the times when we had money in our pockets to be able to choose what we can do and where to go, who to do things with. You are right, now that the fog has lifted for us both we can see what we want and where we want to get to, just want it to hurry up!
Yes I've had good runs as have you and we will continue to fight this. I do remember how abstainance changes me, I become the person people love to be around and see, I laugh and smile again and the soul and zest for life returns.
Making the right choices is paramount and looking after ourselves is important even though that is another hurdle for me but I'll no longer beat myself up for being human and making mistakes and wanting to look after and care for people.
I love the Spring and Summer and I've plans 🙂

I know I am exactly the same, I don't know where to go or what is going to happen in the future, I am petrified. All I know is I want to do right, by myself, pay debts, make family proud and eventually feel sort of normal, which I have never experienced apart from for over a year back in my thirties and it was amazing!
I have lost interest for life as well, I no longer set myself goals as I disappointed myself whenever I missed them, maybe take that pressure off yourself? Well done on hitting your goal last yead though. Do you think you suffer with a lack of confidence, low self esteem, depression, anxiety? I Suffer with all of the mentioned, it's very hard.
I can relate to not finding the energy to post, i've struggled to find the energy to wash up all week, it's so difficult, just hang in there are we know we have at least one good day in 7! lol
Yes it is about time and not being hard on ourselves, don't listen to anyone who doesn't understand, just talk to those that do and those that go through low moods etc
Each day that goes by things improve, just keep up your good work

Should be productive but can't be arsed, just looking over my shoulder so I don't get caught which has happened before! lol
Yes helping others by lending support makes my day as I'm sure it gives them a lift as well to read that someone gives a s**t.
Take care of yourself x

If it's flu you MUST rest. Do you get sick pay? Even if you don't... health comes first, put it on overdraft, eh?
I've been reading along, just haven't got much to say 🙂
