My New Diary

Congratulations Roch!!

And Aum, what lovely comments ?

Thank you for a wonderful poem, Stephen; it's been great reached 130 days!

And thank you for your kind message Joanne 🙂

Day 131, and I'm keeping it simple and manageable. Just for today, I choose not to gamble.

Day 134.  After a really busy few days, I’m back, and gambling free. One day at a time, every time 🙂

Hope life is treating you well Roch.

Good weather forecast for the bank holiday. A great opportunity to spend time outdoors enjoying the sunshine.

Aum ?

Thank you for the visit Stephen and I 100% agree, a few days soaking in that extra Vitamin D is definitely on the cards. 

Day 137.  I might not update every day but it's always gambling-free one day at a time.

Day 138.   Where the days go nobody knows!  But, one day at a time remains my motto.  The sun's coming out, it's gonna be a busy busy half term out there but it's all about focus and living a fulfilled life, not one wasted - money, time, life - on c**P.

Hi roch. Send me a message to let me know when you are planning to come on chat again. Would

love to catch up 

Hi Debsy!  I was on chat on Thursday for a while bt will make every effort tomorrow 🙂

I hope all's well with you!

Day 139.  Another day under me belt.

Hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend Roch. 

A good time to celebrate as you have refrained from gambling for 140 days. I tip my hat, raise my glass and applaud your excellent progress. 

Aum ?

Congratulations on 140 days. Be proud 

Thank you Stephen, Debsy! Day 141 and together we march on 🙂

Day 142. One day at a time. 

Feeling good about oneself

Is not a lot to ask

However we can make it

A monumental task

By no means are we perfect

But we are gamble free

And in the future we'll look back

Relieved at what we see

Roch is on a mission 

A proud man so kind hearted 

Whose battle cry rings in my ears

LET'S FINISH WHAT WE STARTED

Aum ?

Thank you for that battle-cry Stephen.  Tonight, on a short staycation with my young son, I watched as someone, in my modest seaside hotel, pumped £500 into a machine and proceeded to lose the lot. Was I likely to follow? No chance. I didn’t want the misery, win or lose. So Day 143 it is!

Why did I watch? Well, I did. But even less inclined to gamble. That’s the truth of it. Let’s keep this better life going 🙂

Day 145. I’ve been away for a few days with my son, but no gambling. Bliss. Just don’t want/need to ‘go there’.
