Hey Loxxie 🙂
Thanks for popping by....You are always a bright light full of positivity & care for others.
I finally enjoyed my wine on Monday evening lol....My son popped over for a visit and I got him to open the bottle for me before he left 🙂 .He thought it was hilarious that I'd been waiting 3 days for a wee tipple lol.
Keep doing what you're doing....Thank you again.

Mills n Boon...ha love it!! Inspiration to all u are x
Lovely day on Saturday celebrating 3rd grandchilds 1st birthday. ..extended family and friends...lovely pub lunch and wine flowing !
Thinking back to the day of his arrival...I was about 30 days gamble free I expect...so everything was still a fog in my head I think....daughters knew about my addiction....hubby didn't
...I was still trying to find the right time/way to tell him !
Knowing now that there's no right way or right time to spill the beans....it's just something that's got to happen...bit like bad tooth ache really....you can put up with it ...try to treat it...or just hope it will go away....it might for a while...but you'll usually end up at the dentist. ....so may as well have gone straight away....but hey ho...we've all been there !
Anyway....I'm posative my journies been easier to walk with my family beside me....
and again looking back to last year's feb half term....it was a
good time....I was in a good place...now...this half term...I'm in an even better place....so I suppose the jist of my post today
Is....time ...everthing takes time...no quick fixes in this addiction malarkey....time...strength...honesty....and so my journey continues. ...I'll never arrive at a final destination on this trip. ...the journey to living with addiction...but I'll have fun on the way....and will keep my eyes wide open ....and travel safely !
That's my favourite Peggy Mitchell enjoying life's fruits
Only seems like yesterday you joined and now your almost 400 day's bet free.

Deano said to me in chat one night that I remind him of you....I really hope he's right, you are truly inspirational & I pray I can follow in your footsteps.
Huge thanks again.

400 Not out whoop whoop! Well done my lovely!

Nice one Loxxie
Xxx
Well done Loxxie, so good reading how you have turned things around x
400 days into my new life !
It's not an earth moving..high flying..celebrity style...or lavish one !
But it's mine..
No longer suffocating with my addiction or thinking that a online slot machine is going to give me the life I wanted....
I can give myself that all on my own...and I'm doing just that...
I'm strong...I can now take the good and bad that life deals me...
and I deal with it the best way I can....and that's no longer via a pathetic spinning reel...
Has it been easy ? no..but then nothing Worth having is ever easy is it..you get nothing ..for nothing !
Has it got easier ? yes...with time..lots of listening..thinking..reading and sole searching...it most certainly has got easier...it's my way of life now...
and for me....it's a jolly nice one !
So never give up trying
Never give up pushing for freedom....for your freedom....
It's yours if you want it enough.x
Well done amazing achievement. Keep going Loxxie.
Loxxie, 400 days - what a fantastic achievement!!!!!!
You really are an inspiration to so many.
May life continue to go from strength to strength. Xx
Clocking up those numbers nicely there lox. Good on you. I want that freedom too 🙂
Nothing to report on that addiction of mine to those online slots....thankfully it's leaving me in peace ....no urges...no thoughts even...
Havnt really been around here as much lately...only because life's busy ....and I'm grateful to say life's good...just the normal things that as a mum..nanny and landlady I should be doing...it's not perfect...and there will always be ups/downs along the way...that's fine...for me...it's how I deal with things that matter..I'm sure I'll continue to make mistakes along the way...but I won't be fooled into thinking an online slot machine will provide the answer to a problem...I'll sort the problem myself thanks !
Sooo. ..I'll keep popping her every now and then...when time allows..
It's still sad to see so many new comers arriving here almost daily...but as I now like to always turn a negative into a posative...it's great to see you all forming bonds and helping each other through the start of your journeys....which I can tell you will help you all tremendously....your new life's are all waiting for you... fight with everything you've got. ..it's soooo worth it ....
I was chained to online slots...never thought I could be free from the hold they had over me....but 420 days ago i made the changes that were needed to unlock myself....today....and tommorrow...and everyday ..I'll do all I can to keep those chains at bay...
Stay strong everybody. ....x
