Today is a good day, nearly two weeks since the end of my little slip, I am coming to terms with what I did and all your comments have helped so much. I need to accept that this is a fight for life and I know I am stronger than I was, I know if I had just maybe put something on here about taking off the blocks or told my partner before the 48 cooling off period had ended someone would have talked sense into me. A big for me was honesty when I started this journey and I need to remember to speak out, I have support I have people that love me, I have this forum. So moving forward I need to be more honest with myself as well as those looking out for me, hopefully I learn from my mistakes. I need to come back to posting at least once a week, even its just for my benefit like I did at the beginning, I lacked with my sharing of late which probably didnt help. Stay strong people x
@deborah270882 Keep going Deb - day at a time and getting stronger as you distance yourself further from the destruction of gambling 💪🙏.
Enjoy the rest of your week and take care.

Day 16, still feeling good, happy with my acceptance and progress, so silly what i did that's the only thing really getting me down but what's done is done i suppose.
Plans with friends this weekend, haven't been out for a while so that will take my mind off things, no urges if anything the opposite couldn't think of anything I would rather do less right now xÂ
i feel like I have really put this slip behind me and I am back to where I was, I know it happened and i will punish myself more than anyone but its over now and I feel like I am fully back in recovery, it feels good to know i had it in me to come out of it as quickly as I did. i suppose just a bit of reflection today, that yes I faltered but I turned it around again. Day 20 of round 2 x
Hi Deborah
I loved reading your posts. I know this sounds weird but I enjoyed reading the post about your relapse because I knew what was coming next. On your posts of round 2 you sound very committed and I am sure you will use what you have learned to know what the road looks like ahead. I agree with Pink Lady that you aren't back at the start. You had a hiccup. The car stalled and you are now make on the road with a bigger engine behind you
Will be reading your future posts now I have found your diary
