New beginnings!

Oh Lucy,

How is that head? Two teams in the old claret and blue in the premiership once more gotta feel good!

I hope the day was everything you hoped it would be and then a little more on top.

That little bit more on top is the not gambling you have come so far and deserve your day of sheer elation.

Catch you soon,

Flagg

Good Morning World!

How do i feel today.....................

Bloody fantastic!

What a weekend and what a long time to get over the celebrations lol

Been contemplating last night all the gambling did for me, all i could find were negatives, even on a win it quickly became negative as i would only gamble it back.

I was alone even though my family and friends were there i had no time for them as my only friend was the casino, whether online or going on my own. How sad!

Thought about a cruise i was on about 7 years ago and every night i was in the casino, i did not see any other part of the ship, was with about 6 others but i just sat there gambling, the only time i could'nt is when we were docked !

The money , oh that's just scary now when i think about it, would love a Range Rover Sport and could prob have bought about 4/5 brand new by now! Could have paid my mortgage instead of tripling it too!

But i know that's in the past now and am feeling sooooooo positive that i will never go back to that sad existence!

I have 10p to last me through to payday on Friday and you know what i don't care!

The bills are paid, i got some new things and i had the best day on Saturday, i know if i was gambling none of that would have happenend this month and all the anxiety would be weighing heavy on my mind pulling me further under.

It has taken me a couple of months to start seeing things a little clearer and i 'believe' this is the new me, hopefully a little wiser, a little scared, skint and alone but one that has a big smile on her face 🙂

Still a long road ahead with this and other difficulties that still need resolving and i know there will still be tough times to come but.....

For today......

I feel positive

I feel happy

I am smiling

I am skint but don't care

I feel my whole world is changing for the better

I have no urges

I am going to win this battle and will keep smiling even when things get tough!

Keep Strong all and will post tonight on others

Smiling Lucy xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Boston

Great post and it reminded me of a holiday in Sri Lanka. Driving to the hotel I noticed betting shops and for the whole holiday all I thought about was getting away from the family to get to the bookies. Spoilt it for me totally! complete and utter madness! Glad you are gettting there.

Take care

Hi Lucy, i'm glad u enjoyed ur weekend and that u r happy!

U r doing gr8, I know u will beat this 🙂

U should be soooo proud of urself!

Stay strong and keep going 🙂

Hey Lucy,

Not much to say today is there you pretty much summed it up yourself in your own post. Loads of positives there!! The 10p to live on is pretty cool I find it quite liberating not having money far cry from gambling when I would do anything for money!

You said yourself there are plenty of challenges ahead but wow are you now in a much stronger position to face them 🙂

You keep smiling it suits you well from my cyber experience lol!
