Monica, jeg tror, at en gruppe på ni ville være så gode om natten f og f er tændt. Ville det passe andre? Det ville give folk, der arbejder, mulighed for at deltage nogle gange og stadig komme i seng på et rimeligt tidspunkt.

Monica, acho que um grupo das nove seria tão bom nas noites de f e de ligado. Isso serviria para outros? Isso permitiria às pessoas que trabalham comparecer às vezes e ainda ir para a cama em um horário razoável.

Day 39.

Incredibly stressed about stuff today . Woke up way too early – have had too little sleep. Just want to win the lottery .

I am seeing an old pattern here – The idea that a big win will sort my life out.
I am also noticing after several years, that now that I am not spending time defending my thoughts or my exploration of those thoughts , I am starting to become aware of triggers and how my feelings contribute towards urges to gamble.

So today I want to skip work- but interestingly now that I have identified what caused the urge I no longer want to gamble.

Feeling stressed and anxious

Thank you Johnny, Micky and JayKay,

Today was one of those days .if could go wrong it went wrong.
Today I wanted to win the lottery and escape .
Today I didn’t do the lottery and today I didn’t gamble .

Tonight looking back I had a much better day than I could have had because I didn’t gamble.

Onwards and upwards

Hope recovery is going well Laura.
I’m still gamble free

Aw Mons – u are stuck – like u have stopped on a chewing gum and cannot get loose right now.
The Spring will melt the gum and you will be able to move forward.

How are you feeling health wise ? Have your tummy issues settled ?

Ah, eu esperava por grupos anteriores – muito tarde para aqueles de nós que trabalham. 10 horas significava 11 horas de dormir. Esta é uma mudança permanente?

[i-did-it]

Aw I had hoped for earlier groups – very late for those of us who work. 10 o clock meant 11 o clock bedtime . Is this a permanent change?

[i-did-it]

Åh, jeg havde håbet på tidligere grupper – meget sent for os, der arbejder. Klokken 10 betød klokken 11 sengetid. Er dette en permanent ændring?

Thank you Micky, Lizbeth,Alliesmum, Monica, Nick and Micky.

Week six is going well and I seem to be able to ignore my old triggers ( feeling put down). Thank you all so much for your support. I am that stage where I am losing ****** but I think it’s day 38.

Your replies really help keep me motivated.
Support which doesn’t build is up is not support- it is someone else’s ego trip! Please remember support should make you feel good about you!

Nothing much to report- I still feel horrible – but not quite sick enough to take time off (don’t you hate when that happens? ).

I bought some new clothes and felt nice yesterday. Mostly sale stuff but yes Monica I went for a navy base colour! I have three new looks for three days this week lol .
It’s a strange thing I am discovering, or perhaps rediscovering but when you wake up and you have nice clothes- your first thoughts are about which of your nice clothes you should wear. Another thing – I have stopped biting my nails so also looking forward to a nice manicure in about a month.

Little things which make us feel the benefit of not gambling .
It going to be a good day .

First open group on list – any language ?

[i-did-it]

Must be a post gambling thing but I too have taken up tennis (kinda lol). Well done Micky ! Life is good

Hi Alliesmum.
I am so glad to see you back and well done on your two days .
Planning is a great idea . It is really hard to stop and stay stopped – but you can do it .
Keep posting Alliesmum- maybe catch u in group later ?

[i-did-it]

Lizbeth ,
I have a busy life but I think truth most of my support comes from this site- it is really important to me – I read your posts and I think your life is so full- I guess none of us know how another feels .
Keep strong Lizbeth- you’ve got this !
