Remember the "snow angels"- much more fun than snowballing 🙂

Thanks all xx

I have not updated my diary 4 a few days, tbh, I needed a break and I have had a few down days and I did not want 2 be negative here!

B4 I would run 2 a fruit machine when I was stressed or down about things, but the last few days even tho I have been tempted, I have battled the urges with all my strength and I am trying 2 face and deal with things without running 2 gambling, I have learnt from my slips in the past that gambling only makes me feel worst! And the last few days I have used how I feel after I have slipped 2 stay strong!

Yesterday, I was 3 wks gamble free and I am proud of myself!

2day it snowed here and I have been off work, Maddison has seen her 1st lot of snow 🙂 At 1st she just looked really confused then she was picking it up smiling. Me and my bf built a snowman with her.... we have had lots of fun 2day, lots of smiles and spending the day with her really cheered me up and gave me the boost I needed. I am doing this 4 her and this is the reason I have 2 stay strong and keep going on this rollercoaster journey!

I hope everyone is ok xx

hi lovely char

sorry to hear you been a bit down last few days, hopefully my weather forecast being correct cheered you up as you got some quality time with those that matter to you, life is for living not wasting on gambling so a huge well done on 3 weeks and more importantly whilst not at your best you still resisted the urges. if you dont post for few days thats fine everyone here needs time off and we cant be on top form all time.

have good weekend

Hi

Well done on carrying on gamble free.

It is all about the way we react and saying no to gambling is a positive step.

i charlotte

It is a rollercoaster of a journey we both know that , also know exactly how u av felt last few days just need to ride it out the inspiration will come back , I always believe its a fine line in wanting to forget and not talk bout gambling and needing that reminder so we dont forget what it did to us and more importantly what it could do to us again

Great u av been having fun in the snow with Madisson took jess sledging today and she was petrified but loved it at the same time , all good fun though

Take care

We don't need many friends. Not a million, not a thousand and not a hundred. Just a few that are true friends is more than enough!

It does not matter what other people think of you, it is what you think of yourself that matters!

Why is it that many people that have it all can't be thankful for what they have, they always want more. And people who have nothing count their blessings everyday!
