Today I have been GF 100 days!!!!!
The days have been adding up and I almost forgot that I had hit the 100 mark. A very good feeling not to be focussing ALL the time on gambling. That is not to say I am not working on recovery every single day. I am and it takes it out of me for sure - exhausting but worth more than a work out!
Today was a GOOD day. I almost feel guilty at the moment having this ti...

May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged and that you step into yo...1 Recommendation12 Comments -
I love my journey - yes it is full of twists and turns - sometimes highs and sometimes lows but I am thankful that today because I am not lost in addiction I feel everything.
There was a time when I didn't - if it started to get through to heart issues I would lose myself for an hour or two - generally the whole day self medicating in front of a mechanical device that was full of empty promise...1 Recommendation11 Comments -

How do I deal with her/him?
We make decisions every second and those decisions have an impact on ourselves and on others.
