Hey Mav, thanks for your posts. Was just going to post on your but noticed they’d been closed. Usually a sign of one thing when that happens. I hope I’m wrong but I know that if you are gambling at the minute theres very little that I could stay to help you stop. It’s crazy how things work, sometimes the people who give some of the best sound support gamble, and stop posting for a while, but we always come back. It’s a shame that we all dont practice what we preach all of the time. I’m sure you know I’m not a "oh never mind, its ok, these things happen" sort of person, (of course these things do happen, although they dont need to) but I’m sure that you know when you are ready for support theres always plenty to be had on this site mate.
All the best.

Hi Geordie, I am very touched you opened up a thread for me so for that I have to say thank you my friend and thank you for thinking about me. I have many issues in life if I am to be honest and one of those issues is I decide to close journals after having them open for less than a week but I am afraid to say that’s just one on the ways I deal with things when I feel venerable (not the right way) but the way I do it and just for today that works for me. I often reply to posts but in all honesty never share that much about me, not because I don’t want to because those of you who know me I am sure you will agree I am always open and willing to share all about me, I just get a lot more out of sharing on other peoples journals than posting on my own, not sure why perhaps my life is boring lol but in truth just for today I am very happy with my life and all I have in it. I agree with you completely Geordie and you are right if I was gambling at this moment then nothing and no one could stop me it never did and it never would, I also agree totally when you say the people who give some of the best sound support to others do seem to gamble, I have seen this before and like you also righty say it is a shame we don’t always practice watch we preach but then in defense (if there is a defense – probably not in all fairness) I am a compulsive gambler and always will be. I know for a fact that this site has so many helpful and supportive people on it and it is an inspiration to see the support people give to each other on a daily basis. At ***** in my life I stop posting and sharing for one reason or another but I always read every else’s and get my recovery boost that way. So I would like to thank each and every one of you for all your posts and replies as I know for a fact it helps me and so very many. Geordie thanks once again for you kind thoughts and I wish you all the very best in your recovery and also in your life. Just for today I am Maverick and I am a compulsive gambler, I have such a very strong and powerful addiction, everyday of my life I fight this addiction some days are so very hard and others a lot easier although never easy, the last time I slipped up I made a massive mistake I had stopped gambling for the longest ever time in my life and was doing really well in recovery but had a moment of madness and to be honest that is all in takes as the addiction is always ***** in wait just waiting for us to have a weak moment (as we all will). I have and will always respect everyone within recovery because I know myself how very hard it is to stay gamble free but one day at a time it can be done. Just for today I will not gamble and with that I am so very happy. So for those who really want to know “my name is Maverick and I am a compulsive gambler and always will be, the last time I slipped up was 29/07/2011” as always thanks for listening and thanks again for everything you all do, wish you all well, take care and hope you all have a great long weekend love Maverick.

Ah well am pleased about that, thanks. Maybe a bad trait I still carry is judging others by my past weaknesses. Just was a bit concerned.
Enjoy the weekend.
