Tried to post last night... for some reason just kept logging me off it ... however day 8,9 and 10 have been all good and well ... finally achieved some response from the GP regarding my allergies and have the referral I need ...
The live chats are really helping me stay focused on logging in and I hope I can contribute to others also
Here is to day 11!

Glad you're feeling a bit better hun. ...I think I told you before that I cleaned for England in my early days of this journey ....then even moved into diy. ...even knocked a partion wall down !
Just keep busy love...for me it was great to get some self pride back....the state of my place really wasn't me....id always been quite a fuss pot untill addiction told me it's ok not to bother with any chores....then there was my appearance....ok..I showered daily...but no extras....eyebrows like fur coats...nails like my son's...and hair like a bafoon !
And I won't go into other bits neglected lol
Scarey how much of a person addiction can take....
Anyway....just thought i would say ...well done..early days are the hardest....and you're plodding on..great stuff x
Thank you loxxie , I did try to reply a few times but was struggling with the page all last week ! Xx
Well diary....
It's been a while after a few technical problems....but I am keeping busy ... we are finally getting around to doing the garden ! This keeps my brain distracted ..last night I changed my screen name as it was my gambling name ... feels good to say goodbye to it ..I struggled at the weekend without the chat room, however day 18 of gamble free makes me happy !
Here's to the rest of the day!

Hey Naomi,
Good to see your clocking up those days. Kepp busy, but also allow yourself to rest and look after yourself. I can concur with Loxxie about the self neglect, showered of course every day, but the rest just didn't happen.
Look after you.

Thanks Julie, I am trying to learn to do that again slowly just pushing the guilt of what I have done off my shoulders is a slow process but I'm getting there thank you .... hope you are well xx
ed So the garden is getting there ! Gravel is down in one patch and have formulated a plan for the rest ... few drinks today feels well deserved after a hard week ...
Day 22 gamble free .... here's to day 23 ...
Over and out

Finding life difficult at the mo, all at my own hand ... consequences of my actions...however I'm still owning it and dealing with it and managing to balance had a down in the dumps few days but still gamble free I have to preserve!

Well done on getting to 26 days!! Great news, stay strong. Hope you've had lots of chances to enjoy your garden in the lovely sunshine.
Thank you who am ! I've finally got the bark down today also ... still much to do I'm sure I'll be out there BBQ up soon enough thank you for dropping me a message .. much appreciated as i struggle to write on here the majority of the time x
Your doing good my dear friend. Very good indeed. Keep the faith, keep moving forward, day after day, get up and set that intention. Come on and read the diaries, if you feel like wavering. Talk to people....I believe in you!

Such kind lovely words as always Julie ! I am trying to commit more time to being more involved with the forum posts, my motivation wavers though always nice to see your name though I hope you are well x
I am well, just on a break from Job one to Job two.. Sitting in the coolness of our sitting room. Evening clinic tonight and tomorrow night. Motivation wavers for us all. I have household jobs to do, but have been putting them off. I will know when I am really going to get them done. Hope your having a lovely day

So coming to the end of day 27.... it's been okay so far .. get a niggley feeling like a little something is missing ? Maybe the thrill who knows ! However I am keeping motivated and started to use my adult colouring books again ... I've got to do this for my kids, my relationship but most of all ( regardless of if it sounds selfish ) for me !
Here's to day 28 !
Over and out...
