Glad you're having a great time on your holiday. When you say there's no chance of gambling " because I'm just not interested" that makes my heart lift. I'm aiming to get to that stage too....not fighting it, not struggling but just not interested. Happy Days.

Hi, I just wanted to say I appreciate your input even though I don't have much to give out at the moment. Last 6 months have been hell, but I'm on the home straight now. Magical is the power of 2 little words "I understand"

Thank you

Good morning diary, and thanks for the messages Ginger Balvaird Paul, Junniee, Sandra and Steve xxx.

476 days today, and all is well here in sunny Chapel St Leanards.

Weather has been sunny and warm in the day but gets a bit nippy at night lol, and it's a lovely sunny morning to wake up to.

Been viewing bungalows, and have seen one we really like, but until we sell our house, we are stumped lol.

Not even one glimmer of a chance for that addiction to creep in, because I am just not interested, so very HDs indeed,

Playing pitch and put this morning,( sos Steve I know it's not the real thing lol) but thoroughly enjoyable,

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

Suzanne xx

Happy 478 days Suzanne

Hope you shouted 'fore' every time you hit the ball too hard lol

Thanks guys for your messages very much appreciated xx

Good morning diary,

480 days today, last day of hols today, but it's been a lovely busy/relaxing/ socialising / etc week.

Being away from my home ( which was my main location for gambling) nearly every inch of the house lol, has given me 0 per cent thoughts to gamble, not interested, even seeing bingo and slot machines all over has not triggered anything at all, how positive is that very very positive.

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

Suzanne xx

Morning Suzanne
Glad you had a lovely holiday and great to hear seeing the bingo and slots didn't trigger any feelings. Seems you pretty much have this demon beaten into submission
Take care

Good afternoon diary, from a lovely hot sunny Yorkshire,

482 days today and today I feel very grateful to my recovery, WHY because today I feel free from the constant worry of gambling and everything it involves to feel free from it all is a feeling of pure relief, I know I won't feel like this everyday but I am typing what I feel today.

It has been an unusual week away, with no family staying with us, and even the Internet in the caravan we were in was rubbish, due to where we were I think, lol, but that was fine I did not miss the Internet, with Facebook,unwanted emails, etc, the only thing I

missed was seeing how my fellow soldiers were doing.because this is a journey of a lifetime, when we commit 100% to recovery.

Had a lovely week, playing pitch and putt, the beach, socialising yes diary socialising, and it felt good, ( but then these folk don't know me lol)

Don't think I should have gone swimming in the rain cos I have come home with a mega head cold ( must be the air there Sandra ) as you have one too lol, but coming home to my prime gambling location, full of a heavy cold, and awaiting for my telephone consultation with the consultant tomorrow morning with the results of my scan, does not entice me one tiny bit to gamble.

And that is why I feel so very grateful for today, feeling free from this self destructive addiction, it is is a nice humbling feeling, that I have won for today, and don't have to worry about any of the gambling madness. Recovery makes me feel strong to deal with the ups and downs of life (for today). because I know whatever the weather gambling only makes everything a lot worse, and it's just a total waste of our lives.

Wishing everyone a strong, positive and happy gambling free Sunday

Suzanne xx
