Hi Cheryl, just dropping by to congratulate you on 12 winning weeks 🙂

Oooo cat pee, on your head, sounds nasty :-0 I was gonna ask if there's a slim chance it's good for the complexion (every cloud & all) but then I realised the washing would have kept you busy, you lucky lucky girl!

Keep fighting - ODAAT

Day 86
Feel broken, this truly saps everything from you and creeps up on you when you least expect it.
Have had urges but not succumbed but what frightens me is tomorrow is pay day so is this why?
I no longer can access any of the sites due to self excluding and blocks but the gambling music is so loud.
Will busy myself with other things and kick myself up the jacksie.
Home life is not good as OH sleeping downstairs and has been all year.
Lots of other c**P to contend with so will keep trying to busy my mind and get the life music back.
So onwards and upwards,

Have just read an article on being over 50 as a woman.
Can honestly say I had none of the angst she has about it and it has cheered me up immensely.
I only look in the mirror without my glasses and my mind thinks I am 27.
I can keep trying to rebuild my life whatever this addiction thinks.
I am now beginning to realise that I need to stop looking back and enjoy the good simple things I have that please me.
This addiction does not define me and I am stronger than I think.
Am going to make an appointment at docs and take whatever they offer to sort this depression I find myself with.
Life may be tough at the moment but I can make it better.
I now and eventually realise I am in charge of my life not the addiction.

Hi Cheryl,

Sorry to hear you're struggling. Just wanted to say well done on over 80+ days of staying away from gambling.

I heard a saying the other day....." It's good to look back sometimes, but never stare"...... it made me think that I had to move forward and try my hardest not to dwell on the past. I find it tough to do at times. But I am getting there, slowly. I hope you can find some peace, and good luck at the docs.

Keep strong

Hi Cheryl, thanks for dropping by 🙂

I'm glad to hear that the article gave you food for thought & a little bit of strength! Fingers crossed this new acceptance will allow the fog to lift a little!

I don't do mirrors either, imagine if one cracked :-0

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you so much for the invite on Sunday :-)..shame it was my day off, but hey, ya know what i am here tonight and all weekend 🙂 will keep that space free for our chat with some coffee and cake 🙂

So sorry to hear about your struggles hun. Cannot take your pain away but can be here and assure that changes in life is happening every day..little or big..we are changing. Look at yourself - you are kicking the **** out of this addiction! Now just tap urself on the back! Be proud girl, cause no matter how many troubles you have, you are making very wise decision not to add more to them. In my eyes you have trained your brain well to deal with everything being thrown your way in more logical manner. Give yourself some credit - no more running away...everything is being dealt with here and now - head on!
I hope doctors will help as much as they can. Please accept help cause i clearly see how much freedom and harmony in your life means to you. You will get there girl, never give up on you!

As i just said to Jen, tomorrow is a new day and it is in your control to make it safe, enjoyable and peaceful one 🙂 you are on the right track.

Be kind to you
