A wise & worldly friend of ours

Seeking to redefine

Treading very cautiously

Gamble-free day 159

 

This is a special year for Roch

Enlightenment is near

For you the future awaits

With nothing at all to fear

 

Aum ?

Thank you once again for a lovely poem Stephen.  Day 159 is today and I'm treating it like any other day, reminding myself of today's simple, but effective, vow.

Another few days have passed; I’m feeling tired but resolute - 164 days gambling-free. One day at a time. My blocks are key, and they are working.

Gamble-free

Day 166

Wonders Roch! 

What should he fix? 

 

Consider friend the nonessential! 

Fathom what is instrumental! 

Wisely choose the preferential! 

So attaining true potential! 

 

Worry not of existential 

Ant hills can seem monumental

Perchance its all just providential

Concern us not the inconsequential

 

Aum ?

That was a very very good poem there Stephen, so good I didn't read it twice but thrice!

Almost referential Stephen; certainly unprecedential 🙂 

And thank you so much for your kind messages of support Secret 🙂 

Day 167.  If it wasn't for the blocks ... but I have the blocks 🙂

Hi roch. Just checking in with you. Like ships in the night we pass. Don’t see each other much anymore as our journeys continue. I’m so happy to see you continue to do so wonderfully xx

The good ships Roch & Debsy

Moored on a gamble-free berth

Discharged all negativity

To celebrate their worth

 

Good people with potential

Fire burns in their soul

Wheel of life keeps turning

So let's all Rock n Roll

Hello my good friends Debsy and Stephen; whilst I've taken my foot off the pedal a little Gamcare-wise I remain resolute and gambling free 🙂 

Day 174 and I continue to ... Roch and Roll 🙂 

It matters so much to me that, as we live our lives, we are living them better, Debsy. It's just lovely to know that.

Stephen, so far as I am concerned, you are the 'rock' of these forums and a smashing chap. We all know, all too well, that we have to dig deep to live this better life and it's all in the continued preparation and focus, but when we do, the rewards are staggering. I'm not talking about money. That will take care of itself; as "recoverers" we have a unique view of cash; we respect it but don't covet it.  A healthy balance leading to a healthy balance. We know the price of things, but the value of everything.  Time, relationships, the wonder of the world - there's what it's about.

Wishing you, Stephen, Debsy, a fantastic week ahead as we settle into what is my favourite month - July.

Another day notched up. Is it difficult? A bit. Do the blocks help? Yes, a lot. Whatever helps. 🙂

Approaching half a year

Gamble free & vibrant

Roch said NO repeatedly 

To a most insidious tyrant

 

I tip my hat & raise my glass 

To a man with nothing lacking

Who kicked the demons up the rear

And sent the whole lot packing

 

Aum ?
