Hi again,
Today has been a good day. Some of the things I've taken away from last nights meeting have been playing on my mind so I've been thinking them over a lot. I've been working on blocking sites on my laptop, but I've still got the rest of the network to sort out which I'll do probably tomorrow. My router is rubbish and wouldn't let me do the blocking directly there, but its something I can work around anyway, it's just more work to do it as I have to do it all manually, not helped by the fact I run mixed operating systems and the blocking software wont work on most of them.
Now, I'm feeling confident that with taking each day as a new day and new start that I can do this. Its been good sharing in the chat tonight too and I've taken things away from there too from everyone's support.
I'm going to try the Friday meetings too, but unfortunately I've got landed with a couple of essential things that I can't get out of for the next two weeks. All being well I shall give it a whirl after that, even if it is to assess it as an emergency backup meeting.
I've been reading the literature I was given last night this afternoon. A lot of it I am not ready for yet. I'm going to make it a goal of mine to at least read the 'today' statements every morning when I get up, then again when I go to bed to see if there is anywhere that I need to concentrate especially on the next day. I know it is going to be hard work, and I'm going to need to do a lot more soul searching over the coming days, weeks and months, but hard work never killed nobody and I'm not about to let me become its first victim!
Today I haven't gambled. Tomorrow I will strive to do the same.
