It's great to hear from you both. Its funny, when you make this journey with others, you take every hit like it's your own, and celebrate every victory because it really means something to you and inspires your own journey.
It fills me with joy to see good people getting the better of this and making a better life for themselves, especially those that have been plagued for too long by the hopelessness and helplessness. I wish you both the very best and long may your peace and serenity continue! ✊ I remember both your stories well, you both deserve everything you have coming to you now.
Sparing a thought for all those who faded into obscurity on here... I hope they found what they needed to check out of the game they were never going to win.
Happy new year all x
Being gamble free and debt free is truly amazing... That I can vouch for.
However, I now realise it is time to take stock of my life and work out how I can be free in other ways... Freedom in itself is quite addictive you know... ??
Peace and love to all x
Turns out that there are many things holding me back, but in turn that creates the possibility of becoming even more free and easy than I feel now minus the gambling ?? amazing prospect if I put the work in!Â
Hi
By being free of fear of being accountable to your self we all can set achievable goals that increases us being more productive and more self sufficient than ever before in our life.
I am so pleased for your awareness and possibilities.

Quick message to all you beautiful people...
Don't gamble this Christmas if you can help it. We're in a time where every penny counts, don't cave to the pressure or false expectation of having to live outside of your means in order to provide the 'perfect' Christmas to loved ones and those around you... Christmas will be far from perfect if you've spunked everything up the wall again and sit staring blankly into space at the Christmas dinner table, instead of being present, loving and proud of yourself for starting 2023 with a bang?, gamble free...
Don't get caught up in the occasion. The most amazing present ? you can give your loved ones is to take personal responsibility this Christmas and do the right thing by them and you, even if that means modesty this year in terms of what you give... easier said than done (depending on where you are on this journey) but possible nonetheless, so do it ✊️ it won't be like this forever- but if you keep gambling, it probably will I'm afraid ?
Every individual is amazing in their own right. You're amazing for fighting back against this insidious addiction and turning in here regularly for support and guidance... do amazing things this Christmas by turning the tide on your gambling, or staying clean if you already have time behind you now.
Stay disciplined and tough leading up to Christmas, then it will be all the more sweeter.

Take care xxx ????
