New beginnings!

Hey Lucy,

I will attempt to waffle much less than usual and just say thanks for being an inspiration, thanks for being honest, and thanks for smiling!

Have a brilliant weekend!

Flagg

Hope the hangover not 2 bad lol

have a great gamble free weekend

Good morning Smiling, still merry, soon to be hungover Lucy! lol

That is amazing how you managed to stay out of the casino! I would probably have succumbed (as an excuse to get off my feet) lol! My dancing days are well and truly behind me!!!

Hope you have a fab, bet free weekend! xxx

Good Morning World

The sun is out, the sky is blue and this CG has not gambled 🙂

A busy weekend, friday night was very interesting for a couple of reasons, the main one being the club i was in was bang right next door to a casino which i had frequented in the past.

Now was i tempted to go next door when a couple from our crowd went?...........................

Was i heck even though the devils have been with me alot, no i choose to dance the night away, now i have to admit the dancing possibly became a bit manic as i was thinking about next door but on the plus side i'm sure i gave some spectators food for thought about getting older and not giving a d**n lol lol

I feel really proud of me again for showing that i can do this.

Now part 2 ................

Letters were recieved but not really sure how they have been taken, being so utterly honest about feelings i think has shocked them, i suppose it's hard when you have also been frank about what you were contemplating when things were becoming unbearable.

But they have said they love me no matter what has happened and will be there if i need them, so another piece of that jigsaw falling into place.

Part 3............

The ex wants me back !

I've had flowers, begging, shouting, presents, blackmail ........................

Thought him going would be simple but i should know nothings simple for me but i'm still smiling and laughing alot this weekend so i'm sure i can deal with this too.

Today is a relaxing day , son coming round, need to do some gardening now the sky is blue and just chill as still a little tender after friday, i'm also not going to say this week i must stop drinking because i'm enjoying myself and know that next sat i will be on it on my way to Wembly!

Hope all have had a great bet free weekend

Keep strong all

Smiling Lucy 😉

lucy. Hope the sun has reached the outside to match the inside of you and yours. Just a quick line to say laughter is infectious! So i guess whereever you are that room will be getting the full benefits! Keep living! And bet free we will. Duncs stepping forward never back.

Good morning Lucy, what a fantastic post to read first thing on a Sunday morning - I feel lifted already. Well done on going with the dancing instead of the casino, a true sign that you've got the upper hand in this.

Enjoy the garden today - its a great way to take our minds off things.

Just wanted to let u know that your smiley persona has touched me, keep it going lovey, it makes a difference to some of us .

Well done Lucy you are an inspiration to me and many people on here. xx Well done on staying gamble free. Mally xx

Hey Lucy, I too was out dancing the night away on Friday - throwing some random shapes lol - beats sitting in front of the computer and gambling money away. Hope you have a great day, keep strong x

Hi lucy u havnt posted in a day or 2 so just thought i would say hello and hope alls well

Good morning world

Just want to say first , thank you so much for your posts on mine , it really really helps , especially when times are rough

Didn't post yesterday as had the

toughest day so far on my recovery.

Started feeling edgy on Sunday and this just grew and grew , rough day at work , all kinds of emotions going on over my situation , feeling scared , lonely , as a book I'm reading describes a person I felt 'fifty shades of f***** up' , now if you've read the book I am not referring to the same reason lol ( you will know what I mean ) but I think it is exactly how I felt yesterday .

Oh did I want to gamble soooooo bad , worse than before!

But I did not , with some help from a good friend I fought them off and now woke to the start of a new day feeling if a little shaken so much better

No one said it would be easy but also no one said it would be this hard

Today

I will NOT gamble

I have smiled this morning

I will laugh today

I will remain strong

I will win

If just for today that's what I'll do

Keep strong and bet free

Will post on others tonight

Just smiling Lucy x
