Hi Blondie

Woohoo 10 months- a fantastic achievement!

I hope you're allowing folk to look after you, you've had loads on recently.

Thanks for the continued support- I really appreciate it. You have an enviable knack of saying the right thing at the right time.

Looking forward to continuing this journey together!

Hi there

just catching up and remember seeing you said in your food order they replaced items at the cheaper price. I order from Sainsbury since can't shop and they replace often with dearer things which I am sure they do deliberately and you pay full price. Just interested as we all need to economise due to past mistakes and wonder which store you use.

That said I do hope you feel 100% again very soon as you do send so much brightness around this site.

Hi Blondie.... 10 months gamble free sure is an excellent acheivment. Like you say, keeping in touch with what you did and how you felt when gambling sure helps keep the momentum going to stay gamble free. Warm regards.. S.A 🙂

Hey Blondie,

CONGRADULATIONS ON 10 MONTHS GAMBLE FREE! What a great achievement, and thank-you for your kind words and support to me.

Hi Blondie,

Another trully honest and inspiring post. I totally get it. I look back on some of the stupid sh it that I did and it makes me cringe. In spite of it all I still get the d**n urge from time to time. Bull sh it gambling and all of the pain and shame it brings. Keep bit ch slapping those urges away darlin. 😀 -joanxxx

No gambling and that's how it will stay. Went back to the doctors yesterday and I am severely anaemic so started on iron tablets .

No wonder I haven't had any energy for a few months and just felt constantly tired. Still in a bit of pain I'm not sure why I do it but trying to minimise the pain killers I take don't know why I think I have to be a martyr lol, anyways just took some now.

Mum has been called back after her mammogram which worries me greatly and we have to wait a week before she goes for another one, but just googled it a little and apparently it's quite common, so will try and fail dismally to put it to the back of my mind lol.

Will re post back tomorrow when I have a bit more time thank you everyone for all your supportive and lovely posts.

Take care

Blondie xx

Hey Hun

Just popping in ....gonna send you a years supply of spinach to Popeye you up xx

Thinking of you and the rock and your right ..folks do get called back ..it's quite common as sometimes they can't get a good reading so to speak..

Dont worry too much ..I know is hard not to worry as I'm the worst but day at a time ...keep talking and keep taking it easy to build up your strength and to get some colour back ....

Hope the spinach Dotty sent does the trick as anaemia is so exhausting, surprised they didn't pick it up when you had your op.

Take care of yourself.

Hey Blondie,

Sorry to hear you are feeling so pants. There is a lot of doom and gloom about at the minute and it's hard to perk oneself up as it is, without having health problems too.

Hope that iron starts kicking in soon!

Take care,

Thanks for the posts everyone. Dare I say it today I feel ok, not tired, no pain and mood is good also so I am enjoying every minute of it whilst it lasts. Tomorrow may be different but today I choose to live in the moment.

No gambling, why the f**k would I want to sabotage what I have worked so hard for... Not today anyway. Today I win.

Take care everyone

Hey Blondie,

Thanks for the kind words, I was editing it a bit I think when you were reading it, glad you liked it. The number 1 reason for my soberity is my late father. We had a wonderful year of memories the last year he was here and I was living with him at his house. I'am sure alot of my drive in soberity is trying to rid the guilt I feel for what I did with my inhertitance. I hope someday I can rid myself of that and my father will look down and say, well done son, well done!

Hi Blondie

so glad to hear you are feeling more like th eold you today and long may that last especially now spring seems to be appearing.

Thanks for Asda advice, they deliver here so will def give them a try. Am so thankfull companies drliver as I live down a long lane which you can't access by car so would not have coped with recent mobility hassle without them.

Trying to cut down on food intake but not easy tackling more than one addiction at once but will be easier when not so cold and salads become more tempting.

Thanks for your ongoing support and hope your health continues to improve in every way.
