i-did-itParticipant
Great to read u are doing so well Micky
i-did-itParticipantMicky, I use the analogy of me powering down a road and as I go through life there will sometimes be vehicles (people) who are parked for now , but that doesn’t mean that one day they won’t get repaired or filled up with fuel and come find me.
I find it easier to imagine them parked along my journey rather than gone for whatever reason .
I also park past hurts, nasty people , bullies I have encountered, bad experiences .
I park a lot ! Always to the side of the road so I can continue with my happy journey on the clear middle road .
It works for me – hope it helps .i-did-itParticipantAh great news Micky !
Keep strongi-did-itParticipantReal quiet – u can stop- how ? By. Making it impossible to gamble .
I have spent the past hour of my life desperately trying to get around my barriers – but u know what ? I haven’t gambled .
Not through any miracle or will power – but because I can’t .When we are weak the precautions that we have taken should make it impossible to gamble .
You can stop and you will stop. It will be the most difficult thing you have ever had to do but you can do it.
It will drive your mind crazy at times but you can do it.If it was easy no one would ever become addicted .
Your money is gone just as mine is – forever!
Just let it go and now while you are feeling really bad put every barrier in place that you can . Cut up and cancel cards . Get a gambling blocker for ur online devices . Self ban from live casinos .You deserve to be free of this as much as anyone else – believe this and take the steps right now !
i-did-itParticipantHi Micky ,
Hope things are on the up .
i-did-itParticipant…And look forward!
Don’t look back Micky – look forward – to better days , better timesi-did-itParticipantHey Micky – hope u are ok.
i-did-itParticipantHi Micky – u ok?
i-did-itParticipantHi Micky – u ok?
i-did-itParticipantMicky- try get some sleep -everything will look better in the morning. If you feel threatened use the law – ur son is out oforder – no one has the right to threaten us – no matter what mistakes we make
If he hasn’t arrived by now, He is unlikely to- he might have had a few and it could’ve the drink talking.
Get as good asleep as u can Mickyi-did-itParticipantWell done Micky . Sometimes I think we underestimate how much we know and how much we are capapble of . We have a second chance now – who knows where it will take us ?well done on chairing that meeting .
i-did-itParticipantHi SJ,
Why don’t you emAil- sometimes it’s easier to put out feeling s on paper ? Just a suggestion xx
i-did-itParticipantWhat a great snapshot Micky – well done all round – let us know how the “chair” goes !
i-did-itParticipantHI Darren, well done on your gamble free time .
I’m wondering if somewhere tiny in your head you want to leave a teeny weeny door open- I know I always do !
I have had so many months of being strong and then in a second of weakness – all my good work is gone .
Some barriers would do no harm even if that moment of weakness never comes – well they can’t do any harm so why not ?
Hope this helps and I hope you continue on your journey of recovery !
i-did-itParticipantGreat idea Micky ! Better to be safe than sorry as the old saying goes . Today my snapshot is happy ! What’s urs ?
