No worries tri, OAU we shall keep going even if some days are very very slow and long, but we will surely keep pushing through the slow days, because the good days now far outweigh those sparadic longgg days, and we are stronger and wiser.

Thanks for your support Suzanne. It means so much. You and ODAAT have been here for me from day 1 and I really appreciate it.

I think you're right and that being back at home after my holiday is contributing to this. I always get a bit of post holiday blues, and it's coincided with hubby going away. I've never really gambled outside of the house, so it's def a danger zone for me. My triangle remains broken, and I'm determined that I'm not gambling today.I don't want to.

It's a rollercoster all right....unfortunately, I've never really liked funfairs!!

Thanks again.

Haha thanks Suzanne im not sure its quite as noble as that but thankyou for the compliment anyway & i gladly accept it. Your son heh? Im sure through your own experience you realise it is only when he has nowhere else to go & no more cash to beg , borrow or steal that he may dip his toe into seeking help. Circumstances are the things that bring us addicts to the door of recovery. Commitment is what keeps them open for us. Keep showing him there are other options open to him. What he chooses to do from there is not within your control, only his.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for digging up my diary now and then and giving me support. I really appreciate it.

I read a few of your first entries just now, and then the last few; it's amazing how far you've come, not just in days but mentally. So many people disappear off the site after a month or two of being clean, and then fall by the wayside. I did it myself a couple of times. I think it's necessary to keep reminding ourselves who we are and what we are capable of if we're not careful, and your diary is a great success story and truly shows a path out of the madness.

Just a number, I know, but 500 is a very nice number. Look forward to congratulating you!

Mm

Thanks for stopping by Suzanne. Your support is always much appreciated xx

Good evening diary,

492 days today,

Lovely to hear from Ade, what a strong man, and what an inspiration to us all,

Staying strong whatever the weather brings, at this time, none of us know what tomorrow will bring, but we can keep one step ahead by simply choosing to say NO to gambling and YES to recovery, and that is one of the biggest positives we can give to ourselves every single day, one day at a time of course 🙂

Wishing everyone a calm, stress free and a good restfull dream free night 🙂

Hi You,

Thank you so much for your lovely and inspiring post girl 😉
As you well aware by now, i can bounce bk every 5 min. But recently i trully worked myself up in quite bad place. Past demons i am dealing with successfully..in fact i kicked them right into oblivion today! Present - future i seem to struggle with now..but as everything in life, it is ongoing battle for survival ☺

So so good to see you moving on and getting stronger every single day. I know how much it hurts to see your son self destructing...don't know how old he is...but i do hope and pray he will see the sense in his actions soon..nothing else you can do hun..only be there for him when the that lightbulb moment kicks in.

Once again, thank you..your posts made me very emotional..but nothing wrong to have a little cry at petrol station huh (good job tears are not petrol tho ☺)
