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

Good to have you back Blondie. Always a joy to hear your views and the way your recovery is changing your outlook on life. Glad you had a smashing time on holiday and that your fellas back with you tonight. Cape verde eh, gorgeous, some lovely sea fishing there but I know that probably wouldn't interest you. Congratulations on all you've achieved so far and keep up the good work on 'operation bikini.'

Day 141.

I love posting on other peoples diarys its when i have had most of my light bulb moments.

I didnt realise im tackling so much, no gambling, no smoking 5 weeks :D, and watching what im eating so i can wear that bikini with a swagger at new year. !!

When i thought about it like that it seems a bit much, but for me at the moment it doesnt seem to be, im taking it all in my stride, the smoking has been really really hard at times but i choose today not to smoke. !

The gambling is totally on the back burner for now but i know that could change so no complacecy here, and the food Im just thinking more about what I eat im not starving myself.

It doesnt seem hard, and I say that with the greatest humility (no ego here), i dont feel under pressure like its to much for me, and if i do feel like that then I will change something, I dont ever want to jeopardise all the effort I have put into getting to 141 days, but my personal experience is I have to keep pushing myself ever so slowly to tackle things.

There is no fool proof way im trying things and finding what works for me, Keep searching people, the answer for you is out there somewhere.

And duncs my weekend was amazing, I did something that 141 days ago I would of well I wouldnt even of discussed it never mind did it... Im very sore today, feel like i have been ran over by a bus, but it was so worth the effort. But thats a post for tomorrow, I would like to post some pictures but need to work out how.

Take care all thanks for the posts.

Hey there friend,

I guess we all try to take on a bit more as our recovery progresses. The amount will depend on the individual and if I had to choose one person who could deal with numerous challenges it would be you.

I think you are in a great place right now and only recovery can give you that. You are aware of your challenges and conscious of doing too much. To me it seems we have a woman on mission and very much here to stay. Tell me where this beach is as I'm sure with your determination and drive there will def be some swagger.

Wit wooo back at ya Ursula Andress......or was it Raquel Welch emeging from the ocean....?....

You really are doing so well Blondie and that holiday has taken you to a while new level of recovery..cruising a while but i know never complacent,..its fine to take in the blue sky vista and give yourself a huge pat on the back my looooov....xx

///////// (those are back pats...lol)

well hun I am now officially an expert at dog daycare having possibly seen whats on offer via the whole of yell.com over 3 days.

Its basically on the "feel "of the place and how relaxed and wig wag she is when she is there...I think i found where i want her to be.....and its only ever 6 dogs max from home.

New doo looking pretty cool and am all coloured up for the winter...been with a head full of foil today and my usual 3 colours. (apricot ,cream and dark blonde lowlight)...feeling hungry now: )

Well...Lancs tomorrow and bidding you and the wuffski woody a good night xx hope the rock is doing well too and give her my regards as I think she s a cool mum for coming on this site and supporting ..in fact shes a boulder!!! (is that biggger than a rock?) lol

Night hun

day 142. Im stopping counting at 150.

Had a few urges today, cant really recall the last time I had any, but come they did, a little nagging voice in my head... I was quite shocked and a bit P***** off, but then why should i be im an addict just because ive gone 142 days doesnt mean i am cured and can ever gamble responsibliy again.

I wont be acting on the urges so they can f**k right off but its annoying and i suppose i have to accept they will come from time to time.

Blondie.

Not much of a treat tuesday then!!!!

Your so right "just for today" you did give yourself the ultimate treat !!!

Well done you tomorrow will be better for it that is for sure

Duncs stepping forward never back

Yo,

Urges B*****r aren't they . Like you said your going to get ummmmm , cause we are addicts .

Sort of got them to a point when they are anoying like a fly . Swat it away . And forget about it .

No anger , no P***** off no nothing .

Think you are almost there, when they come , and go and you do not waste your time thinking much of it .

To think bout them good or bad sort of gives them power, but we have the power now !,

So the wash out that was treat Tuesday , does it mean you get a double treat next week, hope so .

You take care Hun !

Shiny xxxxxxxxx
