Day 228
8n the midst of this mayhem I have managed to get an interview for a new job, if one thing changes why not try changing all of the things. New job will be teaching so no nights, weekends or bank holidays.
Have to say I am a bit rusty at interviews so even if I don't get it, it will be good experience.

Have started to regain my strength and am of the opinion that we only have one life so take all opportunities we can.
Well off to do research and organise my thoughts so I can get a presentation sorted for Tuesday. Unfortunately working for 3 days 12hrs after today so it's my only chance
Take care

Once the adrenaline kicks in you will do well at your interview. You are good at the job you do so that will reflect so as Suzanne says keep positive.

230 days without gambling and it's been 230 days worth going through. I still have a long way to go and need to stay focused and aware everyday but I have managed it.
Life is hectic and I wonder how I found the time to gamble but I did and it consumed me.
Am taking life a day at a time and continue to battle urges but I am so determined not to succumb.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend

Had interview and been offered the job.
No way I want to destroy any of my efforts to start gambling again.

Hi Cheryl,

Very well done on the new job and sounds like the corner has been successfully turned..keep embracing the changes, as scary as they might look - they are always for the better 🙂

Keep abstaining and maintaining, gambling has no place in your world now..live it ,enjoy it and make the most out of it!!

Hey again,

Thanks for support. I did forget you're doing a challenge already, ..good on you Hun! As of the "person" we are all making our own choices ...i for one have a sense of responsibility and learning to be less centred.

And now wach..i said it ...hmmm...can we please don't mention the person any more cause ive been highly affected by all that.

Thanks.
Keep looking after yourself and making the right choice. Life is your oyster, don't be scared and embrace the unknown!

All the best and stay safe

Day 243
Wow those numbers make me smile.
Feeling good about myself at the moment and it's a good feeling.
Still get the odd urges but am keeping myself busy and that's very helpful and uplifting.
Work is really busy and still waiting for references to come through but am staying optomistic and just playing the waiting game.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend
Stay safe
Cheryl xx
