why,why,why!!!!!!!

Day 87,
My life is so full and busy with lovely life things I rarely get time to think about coming on here and certainly no time for gambling. Can't say I don't have thoughts but am not going back there especially so close to Xmas.
Take care

Thanks my friend,

101 days Cheryl, lovely milestone well done you.

Your journey now is far more positive and you are far more determined,

Being a Granma lol has given you a different purpose, and it's lovely to see.

Keep strong and keep positive

Day 115
What an extremely busy and interesting 2 weeks I have had and no time to think of Internet or gambling thank goodness.
My recovery is going well and my mindset is set at being a winner with life without gambling.
I feel so much less stressed with my new job and am now sure that stress was one of my triggers for gambling.
Money is still really tight and my partner will be losing his job in March and it's not decided if he will be getting redundancy but instead of hiding in the slot hell I am dealing with it head on and keeping positive.
Christmas will be a frugal one again this year but at least it now is because we are both trying to put aside a little cash in case he doesn't find a job but it will be a bonus if they decide he will get redundancy.
I feel proud to have negotiated all of this without resorting to slots although I now sleep well and keep busy in other ways.
Best Wishes

Hi C,

And I am very proud of you, just by making even small changes can make such a difference,

You may think you are having a frugal Xmas, but it will be rich because you you are gamble free, no stress, guilt,or despair:))

Have a lovely Christmas, and a very happy new year, if I don't catch you before :))

You should be proud! What are you doing on page 4 of the diaries? It was great to see you post on the 2015 challenge and I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a zen 2016. Thanks for being there for me at times this year. You have no idea how much it meant Cheryl.

Day 128
Happy New Year and let's make it a totally gamble free one.
Although I rarely visit anymore it does not mean I don't think regularly about my recovery.
I still flinch when I see adverts on TV for gambling sites and wish they could be banned as they make it look such a fun and friendly pastime.
But we here all know the nasty side of this addiction, the dirty and lying side. The ppersonality changing side and the ultimate total destructive side.
I truly wish you all a very positive and healthy new year without gambling
