Glad ya found that diamond. Yeah something like that you'd think would be a pretty slim chance of finding. Was meant to be in that ring I guess and hopefully that jeweler can get it right this time.
Hi Blondie,
What a relief that must of been! Under the piece of furniture with a photo of your father above it, he must of been guiding the way.
Your recent posts speak so much sense and with such positivity it is infectious!
We must stride forward whilst always acknowledging who we are and what we have achieved.
You are special Blondie and there are so many on this forum who know this and have benefitted from your wisdom, the path ahead is sometimes rocky but stride on we will with our armour growing ever stronger....

Today is about gratitude for me, today I want to say hello and thank you to someone who has helped me immensely in my recovery and they probably don't even realise it.
They shown me it was ok to rage sometimes, they shown me that it as ok to let go of things and to open up and talk about how I was feeling not only on here but also with my family and myself. They shown me that maybe I am enough and im worth it and for that I am very thankful .
Today I just say thank you.
No gambling today why the hell would I, I am to busy enjoying another day Gamble free.

Hi again
wow what a horrible experience that must have been for you but with what a brilliant outcome. I think your Dad and fairy godmother must have combined efforts on that one.
Sounds like you need to have a restful day today as well after all that chasing about searching, do take care of yourself.

Another notch on the post no gambling for me . Approaching the 11 month mark and my eyes are firmly fixed on that one year milestone.
Has such a wonderful day yesterday , mum came round for brunch and dinner and we danced and laughed for most of the day, mum had some tears but I just held her and said its ok just let it go.
I have been thinking a lot the last few days about stuffing my feelings and how in the past this has been so destructive for me, I don't stuff anymore and I had a conversation with my eldest on Saturday about the same thing and she said well you do it, I opened up completly to,her and said yes I did do it bit each day I am trying to let it go, and do you know what it's ok to feel what your feeling and healthy to let it out.
Today I will continue to not stuff those feelings and embrace them as they come, today I am filled with gratitude and happiness and I will enjoy every minuet of it.
As duncs says the odds today would never be good enough to throw away what I have.
Thank you everyone for your posts as always they warm my heart and inspire me to keep going,
Take care everyone and remember , gambling was and never will be the answer.
