Diary of boo radley

Means a lot.. Thanks.. Back to you also 

Here we go day 29 I choose not to gamble.. Work all day so heavily occupied.. Time will fly.... Thoughts are with remembrance Sunday today. 

Thanks Boo I will have to read it now. Have a good day. 

Woken up to day 30 of choosing not to gamble. Work entertains me so little time for anything else today.. Enjoyed chat last night with lots of rewarding support and banter going on.. I'm feeling OK

 Will be using this site to carry on my support.. Its not an easy road but with support makes it less tedious..

I still have regrets.. But cannot allow negativity to rule.

The one constant of reminding myself I cannot go back to day ones or week ones feelings pushes me too.. Feelings are getting easier.. Mood is lifting..

Stay safe all.. Let's kick off another week with optimism ?

Yes I agree Boo. Keeping busy does help. I think you need to be good to yourself as well and also try and forgive yourself. 

You're very kind changing habit.. But perhaps as it's early days there are a lot of emotions and strategies I have to master.. But I feel fine and if I say so mysrlf far happier than I have been for a long time. Perhaps chat in chat one time ?

Well busy old day at work.. Can't please everyone and my purpose in life isn't to be popular with everyone as today has proved....

Couple of blips.. Forgot take me dinner.. Good job I had the emergency tin of tomato soupIn bag .. I will not starve silently

?

Mystery of the lost keys.. So we're all being treated like we are 9 year olds.. I just pretend I'm Robert de Niro in taxi driver looking in that mirror saying 'you talking to me' and stroll of smiling..

Had a lovely text about wedding am attending next year. More incentive not to gamble.. New frock with full accessories 

Do how does this all tie in with recovery diary.. Well simply 30 days ago would have planned a casino visit to de. Stress.. Today I've come home planning my life.. And more importantly me Tea.. After a tin of tomato soup am a starvin' Marvin ?

Night all.. I've had a good evening.. Settled.. Enjoyed relaxing at home.. Enjoyed connecting in chat tonight and hope Tuesday is easy.. Although my day at work was manic it's been good to come home and be thinking of using gambling as a de. Stresser.. So many other options more fullfilling... Thank goodness for where I am now.. Night all.. I wish you a blissful sleep
