Playing in the garden with my kids on this beautiful sunny day and I suddenly realised I am 6 months GF today!

This is a huge achievement for me, yet at the same time I had almost stopped thinking about this milestone. 

Thanks to everyone I’ve spoken with here and all who have supported my journey. I won’t get complacent and I know I’m not a finished article, but to all just starting on their journeys, I hope you can take some inspiration from someone who never thought 6 months would be possible!

Enjoy the weather, enjoy the company of others and look after yourselves.

Hi bdog,

You've done amazingly well, & things can only get better away from gambling. The children having fun & enjoying the real you on a sunny day. What a healthy way to live.

 

Warm Congratulations

Thank you for your post .. as someone who has her first phone 121 on Tuesday and is struggling to see a light, your post is very reassuring. 

 

Well done to you!

Hi

There was a time when I was getting worried about a GA birthday.

A person asked me if I thought my birthday was for me.

I said yes it was, I was informed that my birthday was a time for me to show appreciation and gratitude and thank the people in the room for helping me become more  healed and healthy.

The recovery program which is non religious for me helps me understand that only person that limited me was myself.

I celebrate each and every day, for not feeling vulnerable, for more and more improving relationships with myself and with other people.

I use to think that an apology was all about who was right or wrong, yet today an apology is about healing damaged relationships with other people and with other myself.

At our birthdays we all become stronger as a team.

Please keep going to meetings, you will benefit from it in so many ways.

Love and peace to every one.
