Good morning diary,

372 days of abstaining and maintaining, and making the right choices for me every day.

I have to say I felt very sad after reading NTs post yesterday, was not expecting to read that at all from him, it just shows no matter how strong we feel one day the next day can make us feel totally different, we can never underestimate the power of this horrible self destructive addiction. that is why I always say my recovery journey is a rollercoaster ride,

Wishing everyone a strong, calm and positive gambling free day.

its inspiring reading your diay as from reading your first posts similar feelings. I have drawn out all my money from my accounts except for bills as online bingo and slots was my downfall. Although I did go in a new arcade a few weeks ago but thankfully I hated the bad vibes I felt as it reminded me of the times years and years ago when my children were young and we could take them in their pushchairs into such an environment. So have no urge to go back in. Well done on your ongoing non gambling journey. xx

hi suzanne, thanks for your post, i haven't been posting (but since eight days ago i have not gambled either), i spent the week-end at my girlfriends, took my mind at times away from the disaster of a life i have created for myself. Just can't seem to find the words to express on here, (its what the losses do to you - cant even bring myself to clean the house or anything - its a total disaster really) thanks for thinking of me. Take care

Hi Suzanne

It's really sad news regarding NT. he's offered so much support to others. As have you. Keep winning and thanks for the posts on my diary

New day

Good morning diary.

373 days today, the days are going quickly at this time.

Sim card arrived yesterday, but phone number won't be transferred until tomorrow, need a technology degree I think to set new phone up lol, will take a while to get used to, happy typing on here on my IPAD, the keyboard is a lot bigger and quicker to use lol.

Getting my hair cut after work, and I don't even have to think now can I afford a fiver to get it done, HDs indeed.

Was thinking of having a blow out at my hairdressers (not been for 20 months) but why should I spend 50 quid to have it cut and dried, when I can spend a fiver on a wet cut, That 50 will be put to better use, but is a good feeling knowing I have the choice and the cash if I so want to, keeping it for holidays which is only 10 days away now HDs indeed.

Me gambling today, are you insane diary, I would rather win the easy and sane way by abstaining and maintaining taking one day at a time and live in my life.

Wishing everyone a strong positive and stress free gambling free day.

Keep winning ! sounds like things are going good which is greeeaaattttt! as Tony tiger would say! Enjoy ur hols xo

Evening Blondie, just having a little catch up...IKEA has broken me 🙁 The NM suggested we go back yesterday (after 2 attempts to get there Monday, finally getting in just before closing time & getting those flipping drawers, the ones I bought & took back) for a good look around! I ask you, what did he think I was doing on my 3 visits there the week before :-0

So, my bedside thing built, my chest of drawers built, the TV unit built & all his bits now acting as trip hazards in the hall! Should be a while before you hear any more tales from there although I do maintain, they do do great meatballs 😉

Keep winning ODAAT - Juuuuune

Morning Suzanne.
