Hello remember me 🙂
thank you everyone for your posts, i will try and catch up with you all over the next few days.
Day 133 gamble free and still smoke free.
Back from my holidays after having an amazing time, packed so much in to the 2 weeks, canoning in wales was amazing pushed myself to the limit in terms of fear factor, jumping off 70 foot zip slides from the top of a rock and swiming and sliding down water falls in freezing cold water.
The lakes was beautiful and we was really lucky with the weather, woody loved but ive decided he is a complete lunatic and its like having a child lol.
No thoughts or urges to gamble i am to busy living, im so proud to still not be smoking, lots of urges still but the gum is helping and im so mentally strong now that i feel i can tackle anything.
Bit of a downer today, death by email in work, and having to say goodbye to my BF this morning after being with him for 2 weeks, but i have lots to keep me busy this week and im not going to dwell on it to much.
Lots to post lots to tell but its back to the emails for now, hope all are well and gamble free,will catch up soon.
Its nice to be back 🙂

Hi Blondie, thanks for popping into my diary, good to be back, but the circumstances of my return aint so good I guess. Kinda double edged sword scenario.
Your holiday sounds amazing, and off the f**s too, aint no stopping you mrs 🙂 Congrats on all counts, your journey has been nothing short of remarkable, a true testament to the measure of the woman you are, so a huge round of applause to you miss Blondie.
Have a great evening my friend

Day 134
Should i stop counting yet.. Hmm not sure. !! So yesterday was a mad day all round but productive, thousands of emails to trawl through, shopping to get, house to clean, washing to do, uniform to buy but i managed it all, in my stride with no stress, with no strops, oh poor me.... I know for sure that is me becoming more and more in control of my life, how i feel and how i manage it, when i gambled i would of sat down last night and for sure switched on the laptop to gamble because id had a bad day.
Not anymore today i choose to spend my money on the things I want so on the 31st december I am flying out to Boa vista cape verdi its where i met my BF 3 years ago for a week of 5* pampering, would i have done this if i was gambling most definatly not, Do i deserve it, absolutly yes, can i afford it yes because im not throwing my money in a stupid casino for a 5 minuete thrill that would make me feel suicidal after i had lost all my money.
Am i getting there.... Most definatly YES.
A little jack russell once told me, live life like someone has left the gate open......
Thank you for all the posts everyone, will be re-posting soon.

Hi Blondie, thanks for your post on mine, and thanks for your concerns, but it was my o.h. who was under the weather yesterday, sorry if my post caused confusion. All good on that front though 🙂
Ive missed the forum, and my friends who know all the feelings that gambling gives us, feelings that no-one but a gambler can relate to.
You are such an inspiration to so many, and I for one thank you for every ounce you give to this site.
Have a great day my friend
Cameron
Hiya glad you had a great holiday. Your still going strong on all fronts, gambling and smoking shows how determined you are. A great achievement and your life really is changing for the better. Don't ever stop, life's to good when you let go of all addictions.
G'morning Blondie,
