hey sue,

seems a coincidence your break coincided with x factor being on LOL

seriously though am glad your back, you are a fantastic person who is caught up in this awful addiction but altogether we will get through the other side

you cant change the past but you can dictate the future

Welcome my friend, pull up a stool,put your feet up,take your time,one day,an hour at a time, this journey is bespoke,tailor it to suit the Womble, most of all please enjoy it,for all it's worth!!

A massive well done for returning to your diary,my wish?? That it helps you rejoin our Bar, and Abstain from gambling and get out of life all you put in,which from reading is alot.

Be kind to yourself.

Well here I am....Most know I like noughts

So I will start off with my no gambling days!

Day 10

How do I feel today?

Bloody fantastic...Why?

Cos I don't gamble!

Woke up this morning with a determination I never thought I would find again. I think it was a kinda sink or swim moment.

Why did I gamble again...Because I could!!!!

Things have changed this time around, I have told my mum and brother (not all the details, skipped the worst)

My brother is putting the free blocker on mums computer and not giving me the password.

Why oh why didn't I do this before........Shame, embarrassment, humiliation! Anyway should of done it ages ago, better late then ever eh!

Again am not in any debt, just spent all my savings...so for that I am thankful!

Actually felt my humour returning today (after a very long time)

So gamcare be warned.....Womble is back!!!

Hello Sue great 2 see ur name up all over the forum in flashing lights haha but seriously great 2 have u back and u wer sorely missed by us all.

Sue lets look at the positives ur n day 10 u have the blocks in place and as u say better late than never and your not in debt.

A day at a time Sue xmas will be here in no time and eah day u get getting stronger happier ur already getn there in 10 days so the glass is most certainly half full.

Oh by the way incase i fogot 2 mention it its great 2 have u back it really is try not to worry about the slip as they use to say in G.A. and A.A. years ago theres a slip under every dress.

I have had dozens and dozens of slips but a day at a time we can do this !

Take care

Hi sue

Thank u for giving me a great start to the day , nothing makes me happier than to see someone dust them selves down get back on the journey and trying again

Just shows deep down the inner strength thats there and so pleased u av found it , what's done is done the key thing is now learn from it don't make the same mistakes again the one thing I do know is u will be so much a stronger person from all this

Like shiny I av learned to take a step back and it really works for me , I av always struggled with this forum so many ups and downs and could never find that balance I am sure u can do the same

To say u av been missed by everyone is am understatement as u r so popular and liked , but as I av found thats not what it is all about ultimately its bout our recovery and what's best for that

Stay close and lets do this journey together , thank u again for makin my day

Good Morning Sue,

Thank you for the post, it really is great to see you back. I won't give any big speeches about what you need to do etc etc it seems you have got your barriers firmly in place and you have started building those bet free days.

Just to update you on what you have missed. I am still young and beautiful but we have a couple of forum members who pick on me. Well it started as one but now she has a partner in crime. They like to suggest I have check slippers and a zimmer frame. I won't go mentioning names but it's Charl and that Blondie lol!!!!

Fortunately for them they are two of the most likeable people I have ever had the pleasure to speak to so I let them off.

Right Sue, I get the feeling mischief may return soon so I will look forward to seeing that. Until then have a great Sunday and take it one day at a time.

Flagg

Day 11

Well Hello diary!

What can I say but I am totally overwhelmed with the supportive posts........My little heart is bursting with pride to know such wonderful people.........Thankyou everyone....I won't name names but you all know who you are!!!!!

I have been to work today...Made the guys the "best" sunday roast ever.......Was singing and dancing round the kitchen using the giant spoon as a microphone (should of bin me on x factor.......well if that rylan can get on...lol)

Am watching x factor now on sky plus...o*g james arther singing "lets get it on" WOW

Have decided to try and focus on the future and not to dwell on the past. Whats done is done!

Main thing is I am back, and am happy to be back!

Sue xxx
