Hi Diary,

Day 9

Not quite sure what to write today, I don't know why I slipped....I just did.....but.....I believe it has made me stronger.

I used to get little flutters ya know the sort when gambling ads etc come on tv.....Now I just get a sick feeling!

I am glad to say that my slip didn't make me bankrupt........I put the brakes on way before that. What I found so hard was to come back on here and read my diary......Bit like not opening your mail.

I need this site....I need all my friends....old and new!

Hopefully my sense of humour has returned.

I intend to do lots of reading and posting today!

Suexxxxxxxxxx

Hi sue

Thanks for commenting on my diary.

Im pleased your ok. I was really suprised you slipped, you were so strong, you are 1 of the people on here who has kept me going and i be forever grateful but i could not cope with a slip i have done 92 days gamble free and never felt better were gambling is concerned. Everybody slips up sometimes its how you bounce bk. My councellors says even if you go a year and have 1 slip it does not spoil what you have achieved throughout the year

all the best

Hi Sue, thanks for your post. I'm made up you're back. We all go through blips with our addictions for a variety of reasons. Yet they're not important, they're history. What is important is continuing to fight the good fight. You're doing that Sue and I'm made up, I like people who do t give up, they're inspirational.

Liverpool, glorious Liverpool I'm so childishly happy. I've saved two cans of Boddingtons in the fridge since the start of the season and only now can I drink them in celebration. I saw Brendan Rogers shoot through a speed camera in a Porsche on Wednesday at 70mph, he was that desperate to get 3 points.

Life tonight is great, take care Sue.

Morning Sue ,

Great to see you back with the bit between your teeth ready to continue this fight 🙂

Like you said you feel different , that's how I felt too and weeks on from that I'm feeling stronger than ever

You said on my diary you are starting to 'believe' , well Sue I 'believed' in you from the start and have never stopped , the past is the past Sue , now just take each day as it comes and as long as its bet free then wow what a day that is !

Keep strong Sue 🙂

Hey,

Just to echo everyone else it really is brilliant to see you back. Renewed vigour, up for the fight! The place has been a tad subdued without you too be honest.

My question to Sue today is this. Is there anything different this time? Do you have additional barriers? Was there an issue which has now been resolved?

You don't have to answer me or anyone directly but I wrote this morning about Strategy. You almost have to play the addiction. Set yourself achievable goals, treat yourself on occasions, and use the forum, good, bad, indifferent!

I hope Sunday is kind to you. I will run an additional thread after the 90 day has ended prob up until xmas it will be great to have you on board 🙂

Hey Lovely,

You had a slip but you got back on the horse and galloped off,you are such a strong lady and will get over it quickly.The main thing about slips is that they happen you deal with it and move on,not allow that slip to open the door to oblivion and return to the bad days.

These diaries are a godsend and allow you to deal with the cr** and support you to move on.

How are things going with your daughters?

Stay Strong
