Enjoy your holiday John 🙂 let us know how it went next week when you touch base with G.T. again and how the councelling is going . 🙂

[micky]

Good advice from charles (G.T.) the other day if you do have a relapse please don’t hide or give up get back on G.T. and be honest and start your recovery again i have and it’s slowly but surely working one day at a time.

Been a good day, my pact with Sad is still going strong and the days have turned into a week now 🙂 days into weeks, weeks into months, months into years , now that is a nice thought 🙂

[micky]

I am teaching myself the art of patience and it is not easy, thinking things through, thinking before speaking and before my brains fall out , and the obvious one thinking before placing a bet , the 101 reasons why i should not , “1 bets too many and a hundred is not enough” thinking 🙂

[micky]

Reverse psychology when used can get you through the worst of times, i have been feeling sorry for myself recently but there again i’m not homeless, jobless, terminally ill, helpless and i’m certaintly not hopeless although i have in the past given up but thank god i’m here to tell the tale 🙂 . Like the man who complained he had no shoes standing next to a man who had no feet. Makes you stop and think doesn’t it !!!!!!!!!!!

[micky]

Welcome killing it. Sounds like a good plan 30 days and then a rolling 30 days , so today is your first day in recovery well done 🙂 micky.

This year my new years resolution is not to gamble, to explain to the bank i need a less withdrawal amount on my debit card and to self exclude from the bookmakers i frequent. Also to be patient in everything i do, thinking things through and then deciding on my opinion or actions.

[micky]

All the best for 2015 to all compulsive gamblers in recovery( like sad says if your on day one you have started your recovery ) everywhere . Micky.

I understand what you mean a new year a new start for both of us, i was thinking before about how much worse my situation could be, i.e i could be homeless, jobless, bankrupt, friendless, terminally ill , back in prison, have no contact with my son and a whole host of other things i suppose i was trying to make my situation not seem as bad as it is and it’s worked to some extent. So i’m taking it easy tonight and just having some lagers to bring in the new year new start in , i wish you all the very best for 2015 . Micky. 🙂

After my last ( LAST ) slip i had to face work last night and going again tonight , no work = no money to pay bills debts etc, good news is im off tomorrow and the day after on my rest days. I didn’t really want to go to work but not going would have made matters worse. I rang my DMP today and told them the truth that i had gambled this months money , it means i won’t pay my debts off for at least another 9 months now. So im very very short of money until i get paid next month but iv’e managed before and i will again. I’m going to self exclude and limit my cash amount on my cashcard at the bank. It could be much worse, fortunately my mortgage is up to date and i didn’t attempt to borrow any more money from payday lenders etc. I can go back to my spends diary and exercise diary and take each day once again when it comes . I know i need to speak up for myself and be more positive when something has happened that i don’t agree with but with so many people these days you have to be so careful both diplomatically and democratically.

Hi Sad i have just been reading Justyn larcombes book it’s full of stuff we can all relate to , one little snippet mentions patience and how some people have lots of it while others have none or very little . It’s given me something to concentrate on that and our pact .

[micky]
