Hi Cheryl,

Look at you dear soldier, such an achievement! Those cuppas and cakes must b helping ☺

Keep up good work, ride the s**t days out, enjoy the good ones. You are worth it, take recovery in...let life unfold in front of you, it all will only get better!

Proud of you, stay safe and keep looking ahead

Ps. Weekend off but sure we will chomp on that yummy cake one day 😉

110 days
Thanks ODAAT, triangle, Sandra and Suzanne

Each day that passes without gambling gives me strength to go forward.
I try no to dwell on the past now as that is so painful and I will never get back the money, time etc.
But I can get back my feelings of self worth and confidence and they are building bit by bit.
I sleep better now as not sitting up all night then going to work on 2hrs sleep.
I take it all one day at a time.
I do still get urges but I can reasonably quickly squash them now.
I am working so many extra shifts as we are a team of 18 and currently have 9 vacancies!! So this distracts me too.
I dislike winter intensely and the lighter nights will now mean I can give some attention to a sadly neglected garden.
Am on nights for a few days now so will not be around.
Pay day is next week and I am thinking of how my slightly bigger wage packet will be split between debts and not for the first time thinking " ooh I can gamble and win some more"

That lesson is now etched in my brain finally. "Can't win as can't stop"
Have a good weekend all
Onwards and upwards

122 days

Been working so much and so have not been on much.
Loads of thoughts even though I have been so busy. Have managed to avoid them and am determined to beat this a day at a time.

Hey Cheryl thanks for popping by with your support, and look at you at 122 days of hard work, brilliant going my friend.

Can relate to what you wrote on the challenge thread about a new bra Ohh HDs indeed,

Keep fighting those negative thoughts off and keep on slowly but surely moving forwards and keep winning.

Take care
