Hi Kathryn

Just wishing you a good week.. its sooooo hot here i am sweltering. Ugh, have to have at least two showers a day the humidity is a shocker. All in the 30’s.. which i watched on the weather that melbourne experienced too recently.
Hope you are having a good week and that all is going ok with family and work.

Not gambling today, this week, this month a day at a time.
Just for today i won’t gamble. My day is just beginning but i make this pledge to myself. Whatever comes my way today i can handle. I dont have to gamble. I want to have other things in my life. Things i let slide, things i forgot and things that just disappeared from view when gambling. I dont want to gamble today because i know if i put one dollar in a machine, the misery follows and i cannot stop no matter what i try. Done the same thing over and over for years now. Time to embrace life. Just for today is all i need do. Stay in the moment.

Hi Cat
I was so glad to see a post from you.. made my day. I was worried you were stepping away but here you are and it is wonderful to see. I have gone through those times too Cat and i understand. I had to get some anti depressant medication as it got so bad for me i was so unmotivated and couldn’t move forward, everything became too hard even little things and i was stuck. Now things are improving and i am so glad i got help. I also stay connected here and do a lot for my recovery every day as i did do a lot of gambling and never want to go back.
I am so glad you are still gamble free and you are ok. Things will improve. Its just a phase and if you can’t get out of it ask for help maybe for this like you had to for gambling.
Wishing you a better week ahead, here comes my thoughts from across the seas to you cat, open your arms and catch them

Hi Bettie
I remember you did so good at work and were in the top for your goals.. i guess everything goes up and down. Sometimes you will take a dive but i think if you have a look i am sure no one there is just constantly at the top, they probably have months that vary too. I am sure your boss knows you are a good worker and you have been recognised before for it its just how it goes sometimes, things dont seem to stay at one level..
Its a shame that the others are going on a night you can’t.. Maybe you could just pop in for a drink and have something to eat before you go? Although i would find it a bit hard too i guess.
Anyway i hope the day improves for you and things look up a bit. Hang in there, you have got through things before you can again.
Use the support here too.
Good to see you posting. Maybe see you for a chat some time.

Well no gambling for me on this day.. still breaking it down to just for today.. every morning i say this, just today i won’t gamble. No matter what occurs in my life. No matter what. I can do anything else, just not gamble.

I know what you mean about the hobby, i need to find some too, i am just starting to get very restless and wondering what i can do.. it is good thinking these thoughts though as before they were just all occupied with gambling.
Sounds like things are moving forward for us hey some days are up and down but its life and we are living it now instead of gambling…

Wishing you a good day and night Laura and hope you are not in too much pain after all that work.
I did a lot of housework today, i needed to had only been doing little bits and really needed to just get in there and go mad for a while.. feels better when its done but yes it can effect us physically and would be doubly as hard for you with your pain..
Well done on getting it done. Hopefully catch you around again some time soon
