Full of the cold thanks to my youngest for sharing!!
Grandson and other daughter have to be in hospital for 2 weeks as both became septic and grandson being checked for meningitis. So a hectic time here as now also back at work.
Stress was sometimes a trigger but proud to say I haven't thought of it

Day 52
No setbacks and no failures. I want to eradicate that word from my vocabulary. Stress levels high but am eating chocolate, drinking coffee and smoking too much. Start new job tomorrow and had hiccup with Grandson being able to finally get home. I am seriously not impressed with our Maternity Unit!!!!
I still have to check myself daily to not succumb to the demon and the conversations in my head sometimes make me question my sanity. Although some degree of insanity is acceptable as makes life interesting.
I have a chest infection and tooth abscess to start my new job...... What fun lol.
Take care

Hope the new job is going well. 1 day at a time 🙂
Hi C,
Hope your new job is going well, and your mouth and chest infection, is clearing, and your stress levels have subsided.
56 days today, keep strong my friend, and keep safe.
We know gambling only magnifies our problems, worries and stress, it would be utter madness for us to open up damaged scars, that we received through gambling.
Keep taking care of you.

Day 69
Such a busy life now I don't have time for anything much.
New job going well and focus on that and my grandson is enough for me so gambling doesn't get a look in. I do think about it but haven't succumbed and really don't have the time or inclination to go back down that road

Hey there Cher!
Thanks for dropping by and so good to see you moving on & staying on the straight and narrow ☺
Keep up good work and keep enjoying life you so deserve. There is no better feeling than seing lil angels growing up..."First" everything is priceless - please take it all in..we can only witness it once individually 🙂
Pleased for you...and ...well..i guess you chose right to leave me on my own on those breaks...you're not missing a lot that's for sure & sleep @ night is deffo something i envy..but...i have my own choices in life to make ;-)...i will get there.
Take care and keep winning

Hi C,
Thanks for your message the other day, and your support;)))
So very pleased everything is going smoothly for you at this time, jeez you certainly deserve it, you have had a bumpy rough 18 months:))
You are shining through now, proud of you.
I think we will always have gambling on our minds, one way or another, but as long as we don't make that wrong choice, (we know it is simply no good for us, it just harms us) we can keep safe.
Well,done C,
