My last ‘Last Day One’

[Ila123]

Good job, Great work !!

Your story resonates with me and I hope you Are doing well and taking it one day at a time

Almost at 550 days now. Feeling okay

Unfortunately I’m feeling like crap. My father has a terminal illness and doesn’t have much long left to live. I’m trying not to use this as an excuse to fall back into old patterns. Or to binge eat, or to get into certain things I know I shouldn’t do.

Its hard but I’m plugging away.

So I’ve passed 600 days now...

Its incredible. I hardly think about it anymore...although mentally I’m still exhausted

Merry christmas and Happy new year guys. Hope 2021 is kind to you all

Well done, that's amazing work. What ever you're doing is working, keep it up.

I’ve stopped counting the days now, which is a good thing. I barely even think about gambling. Unfortunately my dad passed away so my mind is in a million places at once. I know he had a big gambling problem and left my mum in debt, but he was still my dad.

I don’t want to use this as an excuse to fall back into my old ways.

Day 600 and something

Sorry for your loss @Jc , stay strong and don't compound it by gambling.

[Kevcollingwood]

@Jc commiserations, all the more reason to keep going, stay strong.

@Jc
I'd like touch on something you mentioned there, my father was also a gambler, and gambled openly in front of us which made me think it was ok to do. Poker machines, lotto, poker with his mates. I guess he never though of the repercussions.
But in saying that, I wonder if it would have made a difference or just delayed the inevitable .
