Hi Andrea so pleased for you 🙂 You sound like a different person you HAVE found your salvation 🙂 But don’t forget YOU did it YOU 🙂

I think in the last 17 days i have written 51 different things that i am grateful for, some important , some not so important , some cost money , most don’t . Alot of things i take for granted but not anymore 🙂

[micky]

1. Patience. (Mine was tested this morning .)
2. Choices.( I am making the right ones. )
3. Sobriety. ( I am sober. )

Iv’e noticed some of my fellow Cg’s are counting days and months since they last gambled i think this is a good idea because as the days and weeks go by we can see what we have achieved. 🙂 27 days for me 🙂

[micky]

1. Sending cards and presents to my grand daughters .
2. Keeping in touch with my eldest son.
3.Finally seeing my debts start to come down slowly but surely.
I’m working on new strategies e.g i’m focusing on lets say i put a £100 bet on what could that £100 be better used for , paying off debt, shopping, treating my son, savings account, fill car up with petrol, food, treating myself, and the list goes on and on and on . 🙂

Hi Mav just wanted to say thanks for the post on my thread, it’s good to get positive posts , thank you . Also well done on your 60 Days , i’m on 24 days 🙂 M.

[micky]

1. Friends ( to be there for them and them to be there for me )
2.Photographs ( because they capture the moment , video’s don’t ).
3. Time ( To put things right ).

I’m staying focused one day at a time , keeping busy but not so busy i’m overdoing it, small jobs are good and so rewarding, i didn’t realise how dirty my front door was yesterday until i started to clean it. 🙂 M.

[micky]

1. Challenges ( without them life would be boring )
2. Crosswords ( i love doing them and you get to learn things when you don’t know the answers. )
3. War films .( Love watching first and second world war ones, reminds me of the sacrifices made and thats why were here.)

I think i let myself down when it comes to peer pressure from work colleagues , i want to say “I don’t do that anymore “, whether it’s drinking or gambling but i really struggle to say it . I really want to say it, any ideas ?

[micky]

1. Experience .
2. Strength.
3. Hope.
I’m using my Experience to give me the Strength to get through everyday O.D.A.A.T. which brings me hope for a better and improved life. M.

[micky]

1. Second chances.
2. Reading glasses (i’d be cream crackered without them.)
3. Tea.
Went for a walk yesterday tea-time down to Saltom pit the first undersea coalmine in england and reputed to be in the world hard to believe it’s only about a twenty five minute walk from my house. It was so peaceful down by the sea , i read a book about the mines once , children age 6 doing 12 hour shifts 🙁 . In winter they never seen daylight :(except on sundays their day off, it puts things into perspective when we moan about trivial things. M.

[micky]

Well done on going ,i think it will be the best train journey you have made in your entire life. Good Luck . Micky. X
