Hey guys....hope your all having a 'cracking' weekend...all good here ...spent time with children and grandchildren over the last couple days....real time ....not half hearted time with head trying to lure me back to the slots...74 days ago that would have been a very different story....stay strong if your just beginning your recovery journey....as the days stack up....life gets better....life gets easier..... it's your life...go grab it back xxx
And so another week starts...been a busy few days...still feeling very strong...no urges to hit slots....and no thoughts about them either....still like to come here and read diarys just to keep me on my toes. ...so lovely not to be robbing Peter to pay paul. ..just paying what I should be ....when I should be....simple now im not gambling !. ....stay safe guys xx
11 weeks gamble free !
And enjoying every day of it...
Paying bills...
Curtain shopping with hubby last night...a decision made together...blimey this normal life is good : )

Day82...another nice weekend ..hubby and son off out on there quads today...I'm off to town to pay the bills...then back for some spring cleaning...how boring some night say. ...nope ! not me...living the life I wanted...open...honest...and gamble free. ...xx
Cheers em...yes 100 days is now in sight....something I could never have imagined when I was in such a dark place all those weeks ago...everything was so complicated because of the secrecy of the gambling...not just fiances. ..relationships with hubby and family...all so tainted because of my addiction....now for the first time in nearly 30 odd years of marriage to be open...honest..and transparent about fiances and feelings is amazing....in a weird way I'm glad gambling came along as the crisis that my addiction caused when it all came out has got me to a better place than before I was gambling....so I feel I'm a weird sort of way that I've taken something posative back from my addiction. ...if that makes sense ...lol....xx
Yo deanoooo....yep 'im loving it '
Think there's a song there somewhere lol...or is it an advert ?
Anyway...365 is a long way off....maybe we should settle for 6 mnths...then it would be summer time...
But either way....none of you lovely people on here need an invite...your welcome anytime....and I could even get you a good deal on b and b next door...just a thought xx
12 weeks...3 months...84 days
Whatever I want to call it..
Relationships all improving ..
Time ...being used wisely
Head...clear and fog free..
Soul...feeling open and honest
Fiances. ..bills being paid..debts under control
So the morale of the story is...with dam hard work...willpower..blocks..support from whatever/whoever you find works for you...total honesty and openness. ....this vile addiction can be kicked into touch....ok...I hear some of you ' old timers' out there saying...'don't get to cocky loxxie '....so as ever I have all blocks in place to keep me safe.....and continue each day with saying...today I have not gambed x
