Hi Blondie,
Makes good reading this does, ie your posts.
May your progress continue to day 90 and beyond.
What I like is the fact that you have faith in your recovery. Your whole approach to this could never be described as half a**... you were in it for the duration, and continue to give of yourself, for yourself and others, 100%.
A true BB, reinstated some time ago by the way... just didn't think I needed to tell you... it was only a 24 minute thing.
Thanks also for your continued support on mine... the "fun" helps me to stay here and hopefully continue to grow myself. I still have not found my answers... but being here is important for me at this time, and you along with THE STEG, Shiny and Rach and the banter is what I needed. So thanks again.
Jon
hey hun...
just a nightcap...
Thinking the WCS is sometimes a self fulfilling prophecy its true...i have to get out of that habit as its like unlocking a pandoras box...i find more inconstancies about folk than what i started with!
Ignorance sure can be bliss...(.if you wear a condom! lol.....)
In yorkshire we mash the tea..over this side its a brew....lol..
Am part way through this image shack thing...installed the free app ...took some pics of dot but still no idea how to post them ...or even if i have to pay anything to go further.?
anyhow.....my head has blown up...tee hee.
night for now,
hugs
Rach and doo xx
Morning Blondie,
I hope that you are having a great day. You are doing so well and long may this continue.
Take care

Day 80..... 10 Days from my next target of 90.
*Steps up to the podium*.. Takes a bow and recives with a massive smile on her face the 80 day trophy*
"I would like to thank the sylists, production crew, stunt men for making this all possible lol"
80 days of not gambling, I feel like I am starting to transform my mind set, its like ive been stimulating the postive part of my brain and killing the other side that drives me to hit the self destruct button.
When i was gambling I thought that there was no end to the problems i faced and like most people felt like with each step forward, i was pulled two steps back?
With all problems pain is inevitable but suffering is optional and I decided 80 days ago that i was going to eradicate some of that pain from my life
The busyness of our lives doesn’t allow us time to pause and appreciate the people we have around us.
When the s**t hits the fan it often awakens us to the treasures that are far more important than money and material possession: our health, our family and our friends.
Sudden financial losses teach us that we shouldn’t base our happiness on money.
An illness teaches us to be humble and lead a healthy life.
A sudden loss in the family makes us appreciate life and death. Without getting all sentimental but i think my dads death has steered me to here to this 80 days , it was definatly time to change the course of my life, it just makes me sad that it had to come to me losing my dad to realise that, but better late than never. !!!!
I cant remember the last time i had any kind of urge to gamble and that makes me feel even more determined to keep making the right choices, Im gaining in strength every day.. I dont have all the answers yet and to be honest why would i want them, thats the fun part.
Once again I feel in control of my own life, ME.... Not some 15inch screen... !!!! ME and thats how it will stay.
Today is a good day.... Today will be another gamble free day.

Thank you for sharing it and giving other people hope.
Congratulations on what you have achieved so far.

Good Day Blondie
That was an inspirational post. I can imagine It being bellowed out to a large crowd. 80 days! That's amazing and the fact you have no real urges is even better. It proves that if you really put your mind to something you can achieve great results. I really enjoy reading your diary. You give me hope. Congratulation, your a star. Onwards and upwards.. X

Hi Blondie, huge congratulations on reaching 80. Throughout this journey you've been an inspiration to us all, especially me with your wit and insights. Your words have put us all in a good place, strengthening us to fight the fight. No one deserves this more than you Blondie, enjoy your massive achievement and take care. I'm walking camp for you now in your honour, past some workmen, "oooooh, hello sailor!" I think he likes me.

Raising my glass to toast ya.......CHEERS....

Hey,
Bravo Bravo! You would prob look pretty good up in lights well if some of these model rumours are true anyway! I think we should get the gamcare 2013 calendar setup. I think myself and Steg would have to share the spotlight for the male section, although I know ladies like a good chef so we could have a bit of competition too!
Anyway, I got a bit carried away there. Reality, its brilliant to see you back to your inspirational best, your words are heartfelt and honest. Both new and existing members take so much from what you say and for that I for one cannot thank you enough!
Oh and you know me, pretty pleased to see that count back in action 🙂 80 days! after 90 I might lay off you a little bit but until then I'm all over your number like a rash!
Flagg
Congratulations and celebrations.......
Well done on reaching the big 80, wish you a great week and a half, to the next checkpoint and thanks for all your kind words,
John
