Thank you Suzanne and Sandra 110 days today sometimes in life you realise what the hell did I do for all those years gambling sitting in a betting shop all day on my day off I took the little things that mean so much for granted I clouded life and made blue skies not possible the clouds do take some shifting and they aren't removed yet, I wake every day with bad anxiety something I would have used gambling to make me feel better I can't anymore so have to battle through looking in the mirror is hard but possible because I don't look in the mirror alone today I have my beautiful son and fiancГ© standing behind me. Have good day everyone x

Soo pleased you are getting stronger and stronger, bear,
When you look in that mirror now, think of you now, and not the past, and give a big smile to yourself, because you are worth it,
Keep strong and keep smiling.

Thank you Sandra 🙂 day 120 wow massive turning point from me yesterday working out in the gym and realised where all my anxiety started from being bullied in secondary school for how I looked the reasons are immaterial but what I did to avoid it isn't, running back home after school shutting the world out realising my security all these years I was embarrassed and just kept running back home also a bookies my own little safe place that kept me away the avoidance system worked back then it doesn't need to now I'm not 12 anymore gambling gave me a invisible cloak and it worked then I yesterday through that cloak away yeah it was bit dusty after 120 days but was still in the wardrobe peeling back the onion is painful but understanding things is amazing can't say the anxiety will disappear but I understand why it's there now the big wide world awaits. Keep believing all we can all get to where we want x
