Online slots...

Happy birthday have a great day out with the family you deserve it.

Amazing day out yesterday for my birthday with my girls...lunch..shopping..cream tea...evening meal...lovely..lovely lovely....totally spoilt....feeling so lucky to have such an amazing family that have stood beside me every step of the way on my recovery journey....x

Wishing you a belated happy birthday x

Happy birthday babe's had a rough day check out my diary loads of love dizzy xxxx

Thanks guys. ..all tickety boo here...just another year older !
But without online slots....I'm deffinatley wiser ! xx

6 mnths gamble free day fast approaching !
Does it all seem ages ago that I would spend every moment glued to my laptop...every penny I had....and didn't have shoved into an online slot machine ?
Yes and no really...!
It was a time I never want to go back to...held prisonner by an addiction that crept up on me without me even realising. ...a time when I was so clouded by the addiction...so selfish..so dishonest...so secretive and looking back....so sad...so lonely...so scared...
So altough it all seems ages ago...I will keep all those bad memories in a little box in my head just to remind me I never want to be in that place again....I often open the box and take a glimpse in...it keeps me on my toes ...it makes me keep myself safe....I'm my very first post i prayed for strength to beat this vile addiction....today nearly six months later I know I can never ever take just one spin on an online slot...and I'm glad to say I don't want to !. ...and what I pray for now is for my strength in not
wanting to play slots to continue...
No...it's not easy....and yes ..it's much much easier than it was back at the beginning...very rare do thoughts about the slots enter my head...mostly when I'm on here...but I find that good...it makes me think things over...it's a bit like a "stock take "...lol
Life's still improving...ok...so I'll never be Mary poppins.....but I won't be an active gambler...and
I will try my hardest everyday to always stay that way x

Sorry for making your old ticker flutter Loxx but you know what an attention seeker I am ?

Thanks for the post's Hun there always appreciated you know that , I'm glad alls tickety boo with you and that your half a year is fast approaching , really amazing achievement Honey so well done you .

I'm loving life again and it sounds as though you are to Loxxie , keep being you hun and doing what works .

Off to cuddle my old puppy now (:0)) Catch yer later Luvvver x

Well done loxxie over the 6 month mark. Get the beer's in I'm on route xx

176 days gamble free !
Hard work...
Honesty. .
Openness ..
Transparency. .
Soul searching..
Willpower..
The recipe for my on going recovery...all day...every day...forever..
So....if your here in your early days looking for a magic answer in how to get a grip on this vile
addiction....well...in my opinion there isn't ONE answer. ...it's a package...your package...what you put in place to suceed...we will all have different ways of doing things....bit like the 3 three little piggies that built there houses. ...all different..all ended up with houses. ...but as the story goes....the pig who put the most thought and effort into his build...ended up with the strongest house !. ..just a thought ..
There seems to be a lot of "" do this...do that "" on here at the moment...maybe a bit scarey for newcomers....my advice...read it all...the good bits...the scarey bits. ..all the bits. ..as you get further into your gamble free days im sure you'll understand the comments and advice more...your understanding of this addiction will improve as the early days fog lifts...and so much more will make sense. ..
I was in that position over 176 days ago...didn't really want to hear certain bits of advice....but...now I can see why it was all given....
Part of my recovery has been to be more empathetic towards everybody....to think through what's being said. ..not to judge why it's been said...
Any way. ..as users of gamcare...whichever side of the addiction were on...we're here for the same reason....to put a rope around this vile addictions neck....not to fall out with each other...that makes the addiction a winner again....stay safe peeps...and be kind to one and all x

Morning Loxxie , just came on here for a nose around and your great post leapt out at me .

Couldn't agree with you more , there's an information overload on here sometimes and a lot of conflicting stuff too and it takes a while to sift your way through it , see what applies to you personally and learn to ditch what doesn't .

Glad to see your posts keeping it real Loxxie :)) and 176 day's of winning for real .

Take care Honey and talk to you soon xx

One hundred and eighty !
Days of freedom from online slots..
And boy isn't life better without them...

" One hundred and eighty " Well done Mrs Loxxie on yer half year of being gamble free and much , much happier !! . Wonderfull achievement Lox and I'm really proud of ya girl , however it's no bloo.dy excuse writing me a long soppy post just coz youv'e had yer nails done , see what giving up gambling does to ya , far too much time and money on your hands now, in days of old you'd have put that off so you could have had a few more spins ? . Feels kinda good though , doesn't it ? .

Enjoy your day Lox and enjoy your nails , you've earnt them :)) xx
