Hey PS

Well done Pinksparkle and I know from your posts that you are in a much better place in yourself despite your other stresses...I think the people in here committed to abstinence deserve a medal !!

Thank you for popping in today and supporting me with Sandra ...I should know better as ive been on this site a while but I'm struggling today as I breached my own block... so more fool me eh?

Net result..getting wound up as its too close to what I extracted myself from a few years ago...but I still react badly...I'm sure you may remember those feelings which is why Pinksparkle today you can enjoy the fruits of all your hard work which is to feel good inside xxx

Keep strong

Hey Pinksparkle,

Just popping by to see how you doing. I hope you had another fantastic gamble free weekend and enjoying your day.

Keep it up!

Thanks for all the replies!!

Had a fab weekend, as predicted lots of wine and loads of laughs with the ones I love. Went shopping today and saw a bag I really wanted but couldn't afford it 🙁 But I looked at it and thought it's my own fault, if I had been sensible with my money and not spent tons on my credit cards and gambled then I could have bought it. I look forward to the day when I can pick that bag up and pay for it out of my own hard earned cash.

Signing off for now.... time to dream about my pink Guess handbag xxx

Still gamble free. Starting to fret over not having a job. Time is just flying past so quickly. Should be doing more around the house but just cannot motivate myself. Maybe need to make a plan and give myself some short term goals. First goal will be to have a plan ready for Friday!

Making a plan sounds good, good to have some goals and targets, will help you along. Keep that bag in your mind because when things are better and you can pay for it with that hard earn money it'll feel fantastic and you'll be so proud. See ya at the check in tomorrow - your doing fantastic.

9 weeks gamble free today!!!

Thanks for the post Dave - just checked in!

Had a dream last night that I drove to amusements and was playing slot machines. I felt so guilty, thinking about my husband and also that I had hampered my progress. So glad to wake up and realise it was just a dream. My problem has been with online slots not with amusements - maybe in some way I have been sub consciously thinking about gambling but I guess it is always on my mind as I have blocks in place to ignore urges. Going to visit a friend today and see family later. Have a great weekend everyone!!! x

hI pink sparkle,

Well done on the 9 weeks, The urges will come and go and your dealing with them, blocks are so important to protect us.

Enjoy your weekend.

take care

Hey pinksparkle,

Very well done on your achievement, you doing fantastic....Those dreams don't make it easier, but it's big relief to be able to wake up from them and see it was only a bad dream:)

Keep it up and take care

Fantastic Pinksparkle ...I hope you are proud and recognise your achievement ..

Just to add also that my ex also used to have those dreams as the others have said on here before me ...I think it's pretty normal but I know you will swat them away and when you wake up in the morning know that you are in control of them...and not the other way around.

Hey guys thanks for the posts - I really do appreciate them x

Sandra I am half thinking about opening a bottle of wine - it's either that or a milkshake!

Had a crappy day - getting down thinking about having no job, the debt I have I incurred, my house needs completely decorated and weight gain! I know I don't give myself an easy time but hey ho hopefully I will feel better tomorrow!!! x

HI Pinksparkle,

Open that wine and switch off for the night, tomorrow certainly is another day.

Most important thing first and the rest will fall into place.

Take care
