I am stronger than I thought!

Love the new diary title! It is so true, great to see you so positive.

You are right perfection is unattainable, happiness and living with imperfectinos is not.

Well glad your feeling better about the slip. Yeah i can relate to the way you were feeling. To be honest I really didn't feel a lot after I gambled. I know I did myself bad for a few weeks to come and really didn't care for whatever reason. Guess I've been kinda self destructive when it comes to gambling so long It's not a feeling I ain't use to. Having my nephew show.up at my door unexpectedly is what kinda threw me for a loop and yeah, kinda made me say yeah I fu-ucked up again. Sure could use that cash now cause got more depending on me I guess.

Hi charl.

Glad your feeling positive, have a happy new year. We will both be gamble free for it whoop whoop

Take care

Hi Charlotte,

Just echoing Paul's post. I love the new thread title!! -joanxxx

Morning,

It was great to catch up in chat 🙂 I hadn't been in for a while so it was nice to speak to yourself and G.

I am about to post some details about upcoming threads. Hopefully you will like the ideas but please comment or post on my diary if you think anything should be different.

Hey,

I was kinda hoping you would do the January thread instead of me too be honest. I just put the details up. You can copy them over on to a new thread and I will remove mine I was just trying to get it going.

As for the 2013 thread I have tried to incorporate what you said by leaving it open for the whole year. Like you said committing for a massive period of time can be really daunting. This is why the 2 threads are there. I want you to be part of them.

Thanks all xx

Feeling upset atm... I won't say nething else cus this is out of character 4 me!

Still gamble free tho, that's all that counts!

I think I'm gonna get some wise words and advice from G and Apg.... My rocks on this journey 🙂

I hope everyone is ok xx

Morning char.

I think 2013 will be our year, gamble free one week at a time. Hope you are well, perhaps see you on chat soon :). Have a good day

Nicki xx

Thanks all xx

Well it has been a tough day 4 me 2day I have had a few strong urges.... It would have been my Gramps bday 2day so that made me feel quite sad... Some friends came over this afternoon tho and we played the cube game on the wii that I got 4 Christmas.... I was rubbish at it.... My sister beat the cube so she was showing off lol 🙂

My bf was trying 2 play the game with Maddison it was so funny all she wanted 2 do was press the buttons on the remote control , bless her 🙂

I felt really upset 2day and it is not like me so it was actually really tough 2 deal with.... I had some ideas that I was really passionate about 4 a thread... But my usual ways I did not have the confidence 2 do this alone...Ne way wot I thought was agreed and planned did not go ahead....made me sad 🙁

So I have some fresh ideas and me and Apg will be running a thread 2gether and we will posting the details new yrs day.... It is a bit different from others but it is not a competition just a way 2 help the ppl that r struggling or a way 2 help ppl keep focused I am really looking 4ward 2 that!

So 2day I learnt another valuable lesson, it is things like this that make me realise how far I have come on this journey.... And without all u gr8 ppl I would never have got this far so thank u 🙂
