another gamble free weekend. No thoughts , no urges, no intention.
Tree is up yayyy... New television is on the wall, Summer clothes down from the loft all in all a productive weekend with some fun bits thrown in. Blink and its gone and i have to say goodbye to my bf again, Only 2 more weeks in work can I keep up this pace for any longer ? Probably not but not long to go.
Feeling tired today so early night for me i think, dont have that much enthusiasm for my diary at the moment but all is good coming up to the 8 month mark very soon.. wooo hooo.
Take care all..

your enthusiastic approach to live gamble free is leaping from your diary.just keep doing it just for today,from that my dear friend you better all our tomorrows.
Inspiration is what you give for that thankyou.
Duncs stepping forward never back
Hello Hello,
Regardless of you currently feel about your diary you continue to inspire me and so many others. I find just getting something down just keeps me in touch and that for me is massive. I don't want to let the one thing in life that has beaten me up out of my sight.
Hope you are all rested up and ready to fight on again for the rest of the week. Oh how does May grab you for Gamcare Live??
Catch you soon,
Flagg
My life now compared to seven months ago has been totally transformed and that isnt because ive found some easy way out and hid from it all, its because i have put the effort into changing myself and by default good things have happened in my life.
I still have a long way to go but today Im proud that i have grown a pair and stopped running away from things that were to emotional to handle. My past no longer defines me in a bad way it has made me strong and proud.
Im not perfect and I never will be today I did something amazing. Today i didnt gamble or even give it a second thought.
Onwards and upwards everyone.

Thanks for your replies on my thread. Your positive words are very welcome. Well done for all your effort. As gamblers we want things to be put right immediately(probably why we chase and make things worse!) but your calm day at a time approach is a great example adn one I hope to keep following.
Hi Blondie,
So good to see you in the place you are now......you have earnt it girlie!
You have helped countless people on here..............You have always been "amazing"
If you get the chance to go to a physic fair....go
Really glad I went. My dad came through...was weird but he told me things no-one would know. Feel really calm in myself now.
Love womble...resident earth angel!

Is it friday yet ? What a week , I think my record is wednesday a sixteen hour day and nearly 500 miles of driving in one day lol madness, but still its better than the madness that gambling brings. Today I beat it today I didnt gamble and for that I am thankful. Today I am thankful for lots of things I watched the panarama programme tonight about homeless people and houses under repossession and it broke my heart. Today I donated 20 quid to crisis which will buy a homeless person 3 meals on christmas day , a health check , councilling and access to specialst help for addictions , advice on housing etc. Bloody 20 quid I would of blown that in a second whilst at it, I spent that tonight getting my nails done. Today I tried to give something back, I just wish I could do more. Would I have done this whilst gambling not a chance. Xxx
hey Blondie
i missed that programme but wished i could have wached it now.....
a lovely thought there to help people as its by the grace of god go us.....could happen to any of us given the right domino effect of events and remember that you starteed your diary saying a about loosing your home..
Today we have gratitude for a roof over our heads and you have helped some one who you will probably not meet but whose life you helped to turn around...
hugs
R and D xx....
