Hi @Anita44,
I've been great, thank you!
Oh, wow Anita! Well done on the shopping! Clinique is a beautiful brand. You will definitely enjoy their products. So glad to hear that you're able to pamper yourself with nice stuff instead of gambling. Definitely a bang for the buck.
It's so good you have such a nice group of girlfriend to go out shopping with and enjoy lunch together.
Any shopping planned for Cyber Monday?

Now I am in a very happy and stable position and I will not let myself go back where I use to be again.

Life it's good without gamble

Re: This is my 2nd day, try to get my life back again
Hi printemps
Yes I am very happy with my life right now, I been working very hard, I still thinking about pokies now and than, I promise myself I would not step in that place again. That why self exclusion are best way for me.
I learn to let go of what I been loose. Start concentrate on how much can I save every week I work for instead, it's not a fast way but it's a very safe way to save my money.

Hi everyone
How are you all doing today?
I been feeling good finally after 2 month I been work 7days a week, now I go back to 6days now, was nice able to have a day off each week.
My partner are very happy with me, cos I don't gamble anymore. 2 weeks ago just treat my a 18ct gold bangle, a pear of gold diamonds earing and a giant gemstone with 18ct gold pendant.
I am very proud of myself, all the hard work been done, now I start to enjoy myself and live a normal life.
I don't really keep track how many day I'm not gamble anymore, I just let it's flow.
If I can do it's , I'm sure you can too, just take one day at the time and be kind to yourself, just think you not alone in this journey, we all have out different as long as we give it our best, that good enough already.

Re: This is my 2nd day, try to get my life back again
Hi printemps and Calvin and hi everyone here

Sorry have not been here that often.

Works been a bit quite since qld and nsw flooded.
My partner said to me if I needed money for business I always use the join account, I telling him that I was ahead all my payments for my business so I don't need any extra money, it's was so nice of him to said that to me.
Big thanks to my wonderful partner that been keep an eyes on me haha.
Last few month I start taking up collecting coin, it's was interesting I was very into it, but it's can costly too, but still much better than gamble anyway, I was just don't want to go down that track again, I do think about pokies now and than, but I wouldn't go near their. Lucky with self exclusion that are help alots.
I start buying a few expensive jewellery too this years, cos I think it's a nice treat myself been gamble free .
