Hope you are going well. Love that serenity prayer it is useful in lots of areas… Glad you are using the support… Keep going
P
Well done. Four days is great. Glad you are using the support available. Whatever works is my motto. Read up, go to meetings, there is counselling, keep coming here, get busy in other areas, I love it when I hear people grabbing on to all sorts of help, it gives you a better chance than one thing only.. Everyone’s different. For me a combination of all things, counselling, ga, here, reading , keeping busy, delaying urges, have been the best thing for me, but it’s taken me years and years to find my footing. I don’t like to appear to lecture to people but I do have a lot of experience over the years of what has and hasn’t worked for me… Keep going, don’t gamble today..
P
I’m glad you slept and you didn’t gamble.. I laughed at cleaning the loo because you have company coming as I got a visual of you madly scrubbing away and there’s a knock at the door just gave me a giggle.. Just keep moving ahead no rush,, get through today gamble free…
P
Good luck with the house full of kids that is sure to keep you busy.. I like how you are thinking, no game is worth it, you are..

Well done on getting the car done on getting the car done. If you had been gambling there would have been difficulties I would imagine.. Keep going, keep moving forward. I admire anyone who strives for recovery, I know it’s not an easy road..
P
Well done on your time gamble free.. I am glad you are aware the urges come. I think that’s half the battle being aware that they come back and being prepared. Keep going. If you have done 63 days no reason today should be different.. Amazing job well done
P
I hope that you are getting through. I would love to read a post where you have done something really nice for yourself.. You take care of everyone.. I hope they do something nice for you also. You have done an amazing job with your recovery. Be proud of you Lizbeth

Nope, you are too quiet for my liking.. I miss the days you and Laura would post often, but things do change, time goes on, people come and go, just saying I miss you here and would love to hear from you again.

So good to see you persevering.. Keep going, just for today look at what u need to do. Maybe write a little list of things to do and tick them off. Even if one thing gets ticked its a bonus. Delay that urge if u get it. Gambling will always be there. Wait an hour, just get through that hour, if you can do it, you can do another hour. Why should any other hour be different than that one. You are gamble free at this minute. You have stopped. Fill today with something you like. Do something nice for yourself. It’s so easy to beat ourselves up. I have done it often but am becoming more aware of it when I do. you will come back to life. It’s a journey, a process. You are doing well…
