Things going really well, January passing by quickly and without incident, (so far so good). Feeling positive at present so very hopeful things continue this way.

Have a very long road ahead of me with a mountain of debt to sort but feel I am moving in the right direction.

Keep strong all

Hi Pat,

Been following you the last few weeks. Good to see you so positive and with your head down, tackling the problem head on.

Happy New Year - let's make it our year this year.

Still Fu@&ing things up.

Last bet on Saturday, was pay day and salary was expected to be 400 more than usual this month, the 400 was not included (hr over site will be added next month). Had a plan for the cash and when it did not arrive I felt in panic mode, what did I do only go and lose 400, double whammy. So now plans need to be revised as I'm 800 short this month. What a plonker I am, stressed to the eye balls for another month.

How much pressure can you put yourself under before you ***, I must have some sick desire to put this to the test.

Anyway, have screwed another month up, planning for two weeks what I will do when I get paid then screw it up in less than an hour in the bookies.

Sorry for been such a moaning P***k.

Pat

Day 4 done and dusted, going to count days again have a very distant memory of that helping once before.

First milestone I will set myself is 10 days. Baby steps

That's the way pat,a day at a time,its all we can do. Im back to day 1 again,but I live in hope.

What I do know remember is it does'nt take long to start to feel better about things,life does begin to change.

You helped me a lot back in 2011,think we both went a long time abstaining,it can be done.

I've got that gut wrenching feeling again this morning,I've done my b*****ks once again,just about gona scrape through the 1st with my mortgage payments etc. Gord knows how I'm gona get through after that,but I will as long as I abstain.

Congrats on day 4,the hardest 4 days,onwards and upwards from now pat.

7 days done, feeling a little more positive,

Have a good weekend all,

Pat

Hi Pat - still here, still reading (though not posting much),

"Mighty oaks from little acorns grow"..."~Every journey has a first step"..."Every hangover requires a sip of booze" (actually that last rubbish one is mine). Well done on 7 days. Keep striding.

We keep talking about it, but maybe a return to the 'good ol days' is required.

Keep positive; the best way to 'feeling better'

Mm

nine days today, first milestone i set was 10 so aim is to be back here tomorrow night with a positive post and a new target.

keep strong all

Pat
