Lol...thanks Suzanne...yes I hadn't thought of it like that...but thick bout what's oaus lol
So...3weeks today...feels good...no major urges to play...but then I can't...so don't know how strong is be if I could...
Thanks ...and the same to you...we are winners...because we said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! long may it continue for each and every one of us xx
Rang the gambling commision and explained about bonus from Babs windsors site that I received in the post after I had excluded...they took it very seriously and said it will be logged against the site and an enquiry made...I then spoke to the site myself....told them what I had done and awaited reply....''very sorry this offer was decided way before you excluded...in fact it was sent to printers in December...so that's why you received it 2weeks after you had excluded''....bla bla bla...no point in the conversation at all really...but needed to do it to remind me that gamblers never win in the end....I'm sure from the town of his voice he was thinking...''oh here's another crummy gambler ..sour grapes because she's a looser''...well jog on matey....I'm now the winner...and I ramble not gamble....lol...happy Wednesday you wonderfull lot x
Well done for reporting it. It might feel like a wate of time it reaffirmed you position your on this for the long haul.
And well done on 3 weeks
KTF
Thanks ktf...it just made me realise how far these sites will go to keep you playing....and that they don't give a monkey's about any of us...the explanation over time in preparing and sending out offers just covers the loophole...I excluded after promotion offer..bla bla. ..they could avoid this happening if they wanted to....
Another day nearly done...enjoyed reading so many different posts on here....interesting to see how all of us do things different in our recovery....feeling so strong at the moment and although I've still got things to sort...and things to put right....I pray my strength continues....my only worry at the moment is I've read so much on here about relapses ....although I can't and don't want to gamble I'm dreading the day the urge may strike...if that makes sense
Don't let reading relapses, distract you, I learnt and still am from them, Try and read all posts in a positive way for you to keep moving forwards if that makes sense:)) don't dwell on a relapse the addiction loves that one too.
You are doing great loxxie, nice steady going on 3 weeks:)) and well done on ringing that gambling establishment.
Small steps forward is the sure way to go, 🙂

Thanks Suzanne...in a funny sort of way when I read about the relapses it makes me stronger...just want to remain on guard...hope your well x
Hi Loxxie well done on reaching 3 weeks. I got an email with a free bonus and I sent it straight to my spam box and then deleted. I'm sure they keep trying to lure us in but they not going to win....we will now be the winners. Xx
So day 22...not a brill nights sleep...having to fight urges since waking up...head Feeling messy ! So glad i got blocks in place as maybe today I would have played...who knows....trying so hard for myself and my daughter's...couldn't bare the thought of there disappointment in me....strange how I've felt so strong and today feel so weak....can't when work out why....no real triggers...maybe it's just good old fashioned withdrawal symptoms...who knows...anyway...let's hope it soon passes. ...x
So glad you've got blocks in place on a day like today. Keep busy too until any urge has left you. What do you plan for today? a walk, a coffee in town, library, swim, meet a friend for coffee or your daughter, pick one or none of the above but keep occupied with something hun. xx
Thanks first step...I've just been reading some more on here...always makes me feel better...some chores this morning then off to first counselling......hope your journey is going well...we are about the same time into this I think...such a roller coaster. ..but hey least we have started the ride...x
Another bill paid ...have left £20 in account and will treat myself to a new top before my counselling...wardrobe so low at moment ....would always chuck money in slot ...not today...Bill paid..New top to choose...3weeks ago babs Windsor would have had the lot x
