[Anita44]

Hi printemps it's been a very busy week for me which is good, the more I work I more I can afford to paid off bill soon so I'm happy with that, I let go my pass n concentrate what happen today instead.

Hi @KAG,

Day 10 today!

Nice, good on you for treating yourself with a pedicure. It's great to hear you're trying to do more self-care, there's so many benefits to it, both physically and mentally.

Yay! So glad to hear that. You got this! Yes, journaling is a fantastic tool. And you're most welcome, we're here to support you all the way.

You're doing such a great job, keep up the good work!

hey guys, it's Saturday again and that means it's time for turning negatives into positives!

I've been really busy lately and haven't had a lot of down time, but I have been able to get a lot done and I know that I'm able to push through and get everything I need to finish finished!

The weather hasn't been very good, But I've been able to stay in and focus on some admin I haven't been able to finish for uni and work!

@Jimap @Damaged_Armour @KAG @Menz199 @Panta @Kevcollingwood @vincent1919 Have you guys got some things you'd like to add?

[Jimap]

Finding positives in the finalisation of my property settlement for all my family even my ex partner. Accepting that there is sadness but also new beginnings whatever that looks like for both of us…

[Lovely Cat Lady]

Wow @Jimap, lots going on for you and your family with the settlement I can imagine. How are you going with it all?

Love the positive mindset, one chapter ends with all it entailed but a new begins with lots of new possibilities.

I'd like to add that alcohol weakens your will. I try stay off it. I'm not talking blind drunk, more like a couple glasses. So stay off the drink if you can.

Perfect example this weekend. I don't usually drink but had a night out with the lads Thursday which was the catalyst for me drinking every evening until last night when I pumped $500 into the pokies.

Stay off the drink.

Hey @Damaged_Armour,

Good advice re- the drink, big slippery slope.

Hope you're not beating yourself too much about it. It can happen to anyone.

Hi @Lovely Cat Lady i am actually going okay, feeling a little sad but that’s to be expected. I do worry still for my ex but I need to think about my self and our children first and doing what is right for me and them financially. I am facing reality and not living in a fantasy land, believing he will change overnight.
And @Damaged_Armour at least you are brave enough to admit that alcohol can be a trigger for the gambling and not living in denial
