Hi there, hope my wee man still making you smile! take care and stay strong
Thank you very much for the post ODAAt means a lot to me.
Our partners can be supportive at times but I guess unless you have experienced the addiction first hand they will never fully understand our recovery which at times is a massive emotional struggle.
Not only do we have everyday life to contend with throw the normal problems in with the recovery emotional roller coaster and we do have a rough time of things , yes it gets easier but there are many up's and down's.
One thing recovery taught me was the true value of money and the fact the things I need in my life are right before my eyes.
Good luck in your continued recovery.
Whoop Wow Whoop girl 250 days another great milestone.
Keep telling Mr Gamble where to go and keep winning.
HD to you my friend.

What am i hearing???!!!!! 250 days!!! Yyeeeppeeeee gal and way to go! You surely deserve that galaxy ripple if not two for a treat 😉
Thank you for your unconditional support and smiles...the puzzle been taken apart cause yep yep...i was forcing the pieces where they didn't belong 🙁 ..gonna start again, i have an idea now lol
Well done once again, you are huge asset to this forum (just in case you didn't know that yet)
Take care and keep winning!
Right Mrs D, the sun is out & I've finished work for the weekend, time for a gamble...Do I wear flip flops or trainers to walk the mutt because that's the only sort I bother with now (except the lottery of course - apols for forgetting this earier & to everyone that disapproves)!
Mr G, why are you bothering me today? I am celebrating so get back in your box where you belong! I was expecting you as I will be everytime you bother to rear your ugly mug in the future! Seriously, leave us alone, we don't want you anymore!
Hey ODAAT two hundred and fifty days wow that is a freakin amazing achievement soo happy for you. Hope you enjoy your weekend you deserve it.
You have been amazing for me and many many others on this forum as Sandra says you are an asset to this place will 2nd that.
MrG needs to back off and realise he's picking on the wrong girl!
Massive congratulation on 250 days a fantastic achievement ODAAT, will always be grateful to you as you were the first to respond to me when i first joined and i can see you have helped alot of people on here.Keep up all the good work you have been doing.
Blimey Junie you had me going for a mo then...I think your best bet is the trainers..cause as you're celebrating the big 250 I think you should treat your mutt to a spot of power walking...have a lovely evening Juuuune...onwards and upwards...Ginger
Hi ODAAT,
Congrats on 250 days!! That is fantastic. Well done to you!
You have come such a long way and your true personality is coming out now in your diaries.... You have a great sense of humour.
Be proud of yourself today. You are great for giving us all your kind advice, now is the time for you to listen to it too.
We are all on the same road and as long as we don't head into those c*l-de-sacs that gambling tries to steer us, we will be strong together. It's great to be part of this team with you today.
Take care,
Suzy
Well done on 250 days - in 250 days time I will be where you are now. 🙂
I was so busy bimbling around in gamble free delirium (thanks to all of the unexpected support), telling Mr Gamble where to get off earlier that I pretty much forgot about my existing life! Thanx Ginge for reminding me that I'd taken up exercise again :-0
Opted for the trainers & got myself straight down to the gym once I got back! Turns out there is something I'm as bad as gambling at...I bumped & shimmied my way through another Zumba class! This is my 5th one & I'm no better @ it than I was @ the 1st one, I just do it with much more gusto :-). Don't be afraid to try new things guys!
I came home & had some unidentifiable mush from the freezer & a good catch up on here!
I foraged in the cupboard for a Ripple - the NM must have been @ them 😉 So I've settled on a white chocolate Magnum whilst I catch up on my soaps!
Raising a red & white can of fizzy stuff to being normal! Life's great 🙂
i yi yi yi yi i like you veeery much...you'd be surprised Junie they probably refer to you as Carmen Miranda down at the Zumba class lol....healthy in body healthy in mind that's certainly the way to go juuune...thanks for making me smile and keeping me on the straight and narrow....onwards and upwards..Ginger
Nothing changes if nothing changes...
Today, I have had an epiphany! I got up this morning (before midday on a day off! I know, mental huh!?!) & went off to meet a cyber friend for a bit of ice 'skating' (there was some wobbling admittedly & @ one point it was not looking good but no ambulances required for dented pride & no dents in the ice either - result). We went to a coffee shop afterwards & sat talking rubbish for a couple of hours. This evening I have watched some telly, walked the mutt, had a proper meal, been on here & now @ 2241 hours, I am posting from my pit where I have crawled for the night (not including any toilet breaks I mite need for my hairnet of a bladder)!
I have almost as poor a relationship with sleep as I do with money but some of it I bring on myself! I can change! I want to change! Today, I was asked a question "What is normal?" & today, I was! Tomorrow I would like to be too & I will take steps to be that! My friend has made me want to be a better person, for me! Thank-you friend!
Enjoying my life - ODAAT
My favourite post from you. Full of hope & positivity that there is love happiness & friendship to be found outside of gambling if we just take part in life. ( Could have done without the bladder reference though! :-0)
