Feeling fantastic today people, nearly a quarter of the way to the 100 day challenge ? .
Ive been working all weekend as santa lol, inbetween work ive been shopping for presents with my partner.
I've finally got it all done, dont know how but I have. So 24 days ago I was at rock bottom, had spent all my money on a binge even the bill money.
Things are slowly coming back together and fitting in to place.
Just want everyone to know that I'm here to talk to if anyone ever feels any uncontrollable urges, maybe it will help to talk to a fellow forum member who knows how it feels to be going through what you are.
I know we all have the strength and determination to become the people we are deep down inside. We all know how horrible the g******* makes us and how it harms others around us not just ourselves. Well especially the loved ones around us.
Let's all wake up tomorrow and say them few simple words as mixer states "today just for today I'm making that one simple promise im not going to g*****.
Heads up folks, stay real and stay strong.
Peace and love everyone.

Danpo, I couldn’t be happier for you. That is just so lovely to read. I remember your first couple of days. Wishing you and your family a fantastic Christmas x
I couldn’t agree more, Murlo - just fantastic how Danpo is embracing a better was live without this horrible habit getting in the way.
One day at a time, as always, Danpo - but days that are being lived as they’re meant to be!
Have an enjoyable evening everyone ... one day at a time, our heads are clearing. There may be some stuff to clear, urgent stuff to clear, perhaps - but it’s all for the best in the end.
Goodnight everyone!

Whoops, typo above - “... embracing a better way to live” (1st sentence). That’ll make more sense! 🙂
Good.morning people, I hope your all well and feeling in the xmas spirit just like me. After all there's only 2 more sleeps left ?
I've been thinking all I want to do is help people who are also cumpolsive g******* like us/me I think that will be a great start to the recovery.
I've also come to terms with the fact that I'm going to be recovering for the rest of my life from cumpolsive g******.
Today I have my very first counceling session, fitted in around work. Yes i dont break up until around 8pm tomoz, then ill be back to work friday, not much of a break but I'm grateful for the short period of time I can spend with my family.
I hope to hear from you lovely people soon.
Remember that simple vow, for today, just for today I choose jot to gamble. There it is folks I've said it. Have a lovely day my fellow forum members.
Morning Mixer, just sending my best wishes for your first counselling session x

Sorry danpo, blonde moment!
Sorry danpo, blonde moment!
Don't worry about it, mixer is the star of the show we all know that??
Make sure to talk about the real issues that you have had in your life Danpo. When I went to Counselling the first time I talked about general problems in my life. This didn't really help me a lot. The next time I went to a 12 week counselling service over 12 weeks. I got told to talk about the real S**t in my life. This did hurt and I shed many tears but this helped me so so much. All the best Danpo.
Well Done to Spenditlikewater 100 days Devil free and all the best for the next 100. ?
Well Done Adam you the man. Just for today I will stay Devil free.
I love reading the posts by members of the 100 day Club. Thank you all and a big thank you to Mixer for your brilliant updates.
Congratulations to Spenditlikewater who I understand is 100 days GF.
Congratulations to Murlo who is 50 days GF.
Wishing everyone a great Monday.

Thanks changing habit, I hope that we can find a reason as to why I g*****, maybe there isn't a reason, I'm not sure. Mainly confused as to why I have these stupid binges.
All I know is I'm putting every little thing in to place to prevent it from ever happening again.
Have a good day folks.
