    Hey Danielle

    It is good you have come for help. There used to be someone years ago here with the same name..
    Well done for looking for ways to help yourself today, we all here understand what you are going through as we are all here because we have a problem with gambling… Just keep breaking it down to a day at a time, just for today dont gamble. Don’t think ahead.. you only have to get through this day that is all.
    If you fall down, get back up and keep trying. Welcome aboard

    You are one amazing woman.. i am constantly in awe of how you get so much into your days and the things you get into.. buying houses, and going to gym and looking after the grandson and racing here there and everywhere… i get tired just reading it..
    You are doing so well with your recovery.. i admire your determination especially when your mother encourages gambling.. i dont quite know how you do it all.. thank you for your encouragement to me it put a smile on my face

    I am really glad you didnt gamble.. wow cant believe hubby encouraged it, not something i think is wise from a husband knowing his wife has an addiction, that isn’t support.
    Glad you are doing the things with the grand kids, sounds like you are so busy with the renters places and grandkids that you will have no time to gamble now.. well done on keeping that monster of an addiction quiet

    Well i can i loved that post…i can see the change in it and its fantastic that you are thinking of other things to put into your days.. its a challenge.. the simple thing of putting routine into our day can sometimes be quite difficult.. totally get what you mean.. when gambling everything goes out the window, no desire for anything else but sitting in front of that machine…

    i was glad to see a post from you and so happy for you that you had family there with you.. maybe this will be a wake up call for hubby re the drinking? might be his rock bottom if he finds out there is some damage going on from drinking. Could be a blessing in disguise and i dont mean that to sound awful i just mean it may make him think of what the drink is doing to him.. in saying that look at when i gamble, if i was told i cant do that anymore because its affecting me would i have stopped.. hmm i know the answer to that one so i guess its if that line has been crossed to compulsive.. i hope for his and your sake that he is able to stop.
    I like the healthy plan you are setting for yourself. I think exercise makes us feel better mentally and physically its just hard to start.. i started however i have hit a hiccup so will re start today..
    Lovely to see a post from you.. just hoping my words come across the right way today.. then thought should i even post it but then i thought yes i think you know what i mean..

Love all the the things you got through in that post too, all that cleaning and sorting which i am trying to do too and trying not to go all or nothing which is what i usually do.. anyway have a great day and glad you are posting
