HARMONY !

Morning,

I hope you are back to full fitness? I didn't like having to scroll down page 2 to find your diary.

Thanks for the post this morning it's brilliant to have other people seeing it the same way as me :). Like you said there's many different ways and means you can try to stave off the demon.

However, as a general rule we are told this is an addiction that cannot be beaten and one you can't fight alone which must be true or this site and places like GA wouldn't exist.

So, if you are fighting something you cannot beat why not try completely flipping it and make friends with it, respect it, and live alongside it. I wrote in my 90 day post I made friends with the big kid at school who could beat anyone up. No point trying to fight him so you might aswell befriend him.

The flip side is I wasn't really his friend I just nodded in his direction and didn't *** him off. Same with this addiction by reading, posting, and attending meetings I respect the addiction and it almost backs off me because of it. Strange philosophy but you almost have to accept defeat to win!!

Not sure why I wrote all that cos I think you pretty much play it the same way. Truth is I started typing something similar a few nights back to post in the 'overcoming problem gambling thread' and then deleted it. For me its still early days and just because I understand it doesn't mean I won't ever go back.

Anyway, that will prob fill space on your diary so my apologies. I hope you manage to enjoy a bit of this lovely weather today.

I will be seeing you in many years to come with double decker and wispa. If we stay gamble free it could always be on a beach in the Bahamas 🙂

Good evening sis,

Ummmmmm

Better than I was , went to work for a few hours yesterday . But took another sicky today .

Combination of not being on top form , and needed a rest from the relentlessness of it all (work I mean)

So as I wrote Friday , putting my self first .

Will go in tomorrow , but will try to take it easy .

No one to sack this week , so that helps lol

Shiny xxxxxxxx

ayeup....

Think everyone must still be enjoying the sun Shiny...am having a siesta on the bed with some cream crackers and cheese...

Good plan to take it easy and glad you took a sicky...its a rarity ...Doing your work you have to be mentally strong which is hard enough aswell as also dealing with your own life out of work hun...(oh..and being a mum too.. !!!)

Keep resting and spoiling yourself tonight...film,telly,book..GC ...choccy?? !!

Meant to be hot again this week ....xxx

hugs

Hi Shiny

Thanks for your post, and Please never be afraid to post what you really think on my diary, even if you feel like calling me a stupid B'stard... the truth is important in all its glory... good or bad. That, actually, is what I thought was coming when you preempted your post. I agree with what you say.. but remember as I post on my diary, I have to be honest.. and that's how I feel at the moment... lack lustre I guess.

I am going golfing in the next hour.. come rain or shine... this is what I need to focus on at the momet, not so much to improve my game, but just to keep myself busy over this holiday.

I am not posting that much on others at the moment.. I don't feel I have the positivity that I usually have when doing so... and I can't fake that.

But I am sure it will come back... I am coming down from the euphoria of the last 2/3 weeks, alongside the worry of the next 6 weeks... so I need to look after myself, just to get over this hurdle.

I will always appreciate your inputs... pls continue.. a kick up the backside now and again never did me any harm.

Thanks

Jon

Hi K

I thought I owed it to you to say goodbye! I'll not be posting anymore on this forum for one reason or another. I am strong in my recovery and hopefully you'll keep yourself right. You have been a big influence on where I am today so for that I thank you. Don't want to make a big drama out of this so I say goodbye and leave it at that!

Take care

Good morning Oh shining one ....and that is also to the big yellow ball still suspended in the sky and your good self.....

It was option 2.....wrestling with piccies of Dotty and also paro that im somehow going to download and post all my other pictures on here from my ipad library whilst trying to show off the greatest doggy in the world...

So another deletion.....may even pop into apple store one of these days on my rounds just to get them to do it..although apple staff these days remind me of HMV staff of old..lol
