They are only thoughts & evil ones @ that! You have not gambled whilst Paige has been alive, keep it that way!
Keep fighting for your little girl & for you - ODAAT
Thanks 🙂 I know i think its seeing the OH gamble even though i get really annoyed with him - i see it and it tries to 'pull' me back x
Hi sweetheart,
Glad you got through the injections for Paige, it's a big step actually, as distress normally results in a reflex which isn't good.
See what I mean about the debt going down quickly? Looks impossible to start but when you see the numbers tumbling, it's such a nice feeling. You have to estrange yourself from your OH at the minute, he is not wanting to join your journey so just concentrate on you and your beautiful little one. Im not saying cut him out, just explain you are taking this path and you are sticking to it. If he wants to hold your hand, he will, in time.
You are doing phenomenal. The strength you have is unreal, especially when the carrot is still being dangled. We are all with you, you will do it!!!!
Make your own luck, my thoughts are with you.....
Day 143 - 26/6/15
Reached another reward - a lovely massage (which i have booked for tomorrow)
Thanks for all the support guys
The carrot has definately been dangling lately but like you said when you see positive changes (debt reduction etc) it shows you its worth it and of course my little Paige too xxxx
Keeo it up guys 🙂
Wow, well done! Lucky masseuse!
Seriously though this is a dangerous spot. When I was in my recovery I got complacent and started thinking a little go will not hurt. The urge to gamble gets quite strong now because you have abstained so long, so do what I did. Pinch yourself when it happens, look at Paige, and just stare this in the eye and tell it to do one....
You are doing so well.
With you all the way....
Day 144 - 27/6/15
Going for my massage today 🙂
Thanks for the support and great advice too x

Really so proud of you, how many days now? You're recovery is astonshing!
Don't get complacent though, don't forget I'm over 1000 days in and still have urges....
With you all the way!!! Xxxx
Day 148 - 1/7/15
You are so right complacency can make you think you've got it but i know i will never be able to control gambling abstinence is the only way to win 🙂
Great going on An amazing 148 days,
Stay strong.
