Hi Cheryl,
So good to see you climbing that mountain! Nice and steady dear soldier, the further you go, the easier it gets, simply cause you are getting stronger with each passing day. Leave past in the past, exactly where it belongs. I know it's a mission sometimes, but we need to concentrate on here and now cause that counts the most...i'm slowly getting rid of past demons, time heals eh, and time we have got girl!.so chin up, keep looking ahead, accept the support greatly on not so good days because you are never on your own and souls cares about you - you already left a print in many of our hearts 🙂
Lecture over lol...Whoop whoop on your coming century! Anything is indeed possible ☺
Thank you for your post girl. Yep, I'm looking for somewhere quiet and therapeutic to go. Since i will go on my own (no need a violin out lol...i'm just Billy no mates) i want this little break to rest my mind.. thank you for a few suggestions, i will surely look some more up but Tuscany sounds up my street, just a case of finding quiet place to stay 🙂
As of blue feet cat...she is alright, she enjoyed her bath last night :-0
I am indeed working this coming week and already getting my little plate and spoon ready for that chocolate cake 🙂 yum yum!!!!
Take care and look after yourself!!! Have a great and peaceful Sunday - you deserve it 😉

Thanks for your message and continual support Cheryl. and with 103 days now of starving that horrible addiction, you are doing great, stuff may be S***e at this time but you know as long as you abstain they will not get any worse.
Slowly but surely my friend abstaining and maintaining one day at a time, can only make life BETTER.
Keep strong and take care of you.

103 today Cheryl, onwards and upwards
Take care

Day 108
This time since my last relapse feels totally different. I can now honestly say I have finally learnt and got through my thick skull I cannot win cos I cannot stop. I think before this period I said it but didn't believe it.
Life is hard at present in many areas but I am surviving day by day, drawing strength and wisdom where I can.
I feel more positive about certain aspects but some are still an unknown quantity.
I have had wonderful advice, support and fun from other members on this site.
I have seen a GP and got some help for my depressed state of mind.
I cringe now when I hear bingo/casino adds on TV and just want to scream at it, but don't think my charges or colleagues would appreciate it.
I still need to find the old me but at least I am not stuck spinning a slot spending money I can't afford.
Everyone has their own unique way of dealing with things but we all have the same goal so that's what matters.
Life will be better everyday from my abstinence and I feel a degree of self worth again.
I do think I have an addictive personality and have learnt of late I need to constantly keep my guard up.
Onwards and upwards

108 days Cheryl, amazing achievement my friend, and a lovely strong realistic post,
Have a good gambling free day.
Sxxxxx
Great last post Cheryl, wonderful to see you fighting & winning 🙂
Maybe a Voodoo doll of Mr Gamble & a very large pin may help with the frustration, save you risking scaring someone half to death should you accidentally scream out ;-0
You are doing great! Onwards & upwards indeed - ODAAT
