Thanks for your kind words, and there’s no need to be scared I am in a very good place at the moment. And I’m fortunate in I don’t owe a penny but have done in the past, I just realised I’d started to put myself on the slippery slope again and needed to act swiftly. The poem is only partly related to myself, and more about my previous gambling problem over 10 years ago. In comparison to today’s problems in the poem terms, I’ve just jumped of a boat and realised before I hit the water that I can’t swim, splashed around nearly drowned and jumped back on the boat. And I know it’s early days but this site has truly helped me find the boat to which I am thankful to all who post in here and who give up there time to run the site. I’m very lucky that although I can be occasionally stupid my past experiences actually help me today in recognising when I’m close to drowning. It’s a part of my life that I never want to find myself in again.
