Get busy living... Or get busy dying..

You're an inspiration Blondie - your feeling of pride and growing self worth must be great.

Please always stay exactly 19 months in front of me and never gamble again.......but one day at a time!

Take care and have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

Mr Brightside

Blondie,

Thank you for the advice ref G.A. online meeting.

Tomso.

Et tu Brutus! Nooo not you as well Blondie. I'm surrounded by Man U fans which is unusual for the North West, I feel like I'm in Singapore! What a coincidence concerning Whiteside, think I remember a blonde Mancuniun stunner bouncing up and down singing songs and screaming profanities towards the Ref. Anyway like I said to Jon I'd never let allegiances to football ruin our friendship and the same applies here.

I glad things are going well for you Blanco, you deserve it after all the effort you've put into your recovery. I hope your family, dog included, are well too. Have a great Christmas and a belter of a New Year.

thanks for the kind words my friend they do mean alot, I did learn a very valuable lesson as to why gambling really does not have a place in my life, those three hours of madness gifted me a real insight to my own recovery path and what complacency will gift you.

As for you, fantastic to read you are still finding the resolve to remain gamble free and that life is treating you well.

Enjoy your xmas, I know I will be my own.

Duncs stepping forward never back.

Hey Blondie,

Thank you for coming by and leaving encouraging lovely words on my diary..

Darling, i wish you all the best. Keep heading forward with confident spring in your step, you are true inspiration and lovely soul for all of us.

Thank you

Merry Xmas xx

Hi Blondie... I enjoyed reading your last post. A big well done on your 20 months gambling free. Your are one of just a handful of folk who have been able to pull back from the forum and enjoy 3d life AND without letting addiction back in the side door. Great stuff! 🙂

For me I still need the more intensive support. I still need my crutches to stay on the straight and narrow. Maybe I also just enjoy writing.

Anyway am sure you will continue to update your diary as and when. I will read when you write. Warm regards... S.A 🙂

Hey Blondie,

Hello The Blonde One (Nanny Ogg)

Hope you are not dancing on too many tables this Christmas... just the right amount.

Just popping in to wish you a Happy New Year... thought I'd posted here the other night along with the other amigos... but apparently I didn't.. I hope you had a good Christmas.

All is well.
