Hi Stephen
I have been away – I hope all is going well with you but whatever is happening please update us with a post .

It is a hard addiction to kick – and most of us take several attempts and even after years of recovery are vulnerable to relapse .

You are among people here who will support you whatever is happening –
Keep strong
Xx

Hi Monica
I have been catching up on your threAd – work gives us routine and even when we don’t like having to do it gets us up , dressed somewhat decently and out meeting the world . It definitely give us a sense of purpose and if we can earn a nice lifestyle at the same time, them so much the better .

I find funds are very low after my holiday and it definitely brings my mood down – it doesn’t matter if I am spending or not – just knowing the money is there gives me a kind of confidence . Not having enough knew stinks especially when we want to do something nice for our elderly parents .

Your mum’s trip sounds like such a good idea – I visited Vienna pre-gambling addiction and I adored it – I took a boat ride on the Danube and the Blue Danube (Waltz) tour -Memories of a time which was so less complicated .

I think it might be worth suffering the side effects of the medication to get really well. You will of course have been through this before when you were in treatment for cancer . Perhaps this time once and for all your health will improve .

I have missed our chats but the summer is a busy time with everyone going in different directions and out of their usual time zones. Perhaps we will catch up in chat tonight . Xx

Yes it seems to be written with some poorly disguised NLP language ! Very sad if the poster believes any of us on here need to be pointed in the direction of a casino- we have managed to find them without any help ! Lol

That is absolutely fantastic that you spent time with your son .
Our kids prefer time with us to any play station or toy.
U are doing so well in resisting gambling- It really hard at the start .

There was a discussion on my thread about the difference between absintence and recovery . I didn’t quite understand myself . Perhaps you could read everyone’s comments.

Gambling leaves us with so many issues to sort out – so I would advise you for now to just concentrate on abstinence – the other stuff will fall into place – look at today – abstaining from gambling turned into quaility time with your son.

Keep strong Stephen – your life will get better and better !

You are really doing well –

Hi Monica
It is so good to be able to buy new things for our homes / I feel it really gives us a sense of what can be .

Sorry to hear about your stomach – it seems like a Mediterranean diet is the answer – and that doesn’t come cheap ! You are wise to keep a little money back .

The good thing is that we are gamble free and looking forward ! Talk soon

[i-did-it]

Yippee!
Well done Stephen !
Proud of u !
Keep strong!

Hi Stephen Just stay strong – every time you feel an urge write on here. Maybe hide some money at work so you can’t be tempted after work. I have in the past taped all my cards to the underside  of my desk at work! You can do this Stephen- we are all rooting for you! Keep us posted !

Hi Stephen
How’s are things ?
Did U manage to get sorted out for money to travel to work?
Gambling brings sommuch stress it makes you wonder why we do it ?
Keep strong!

Hi Kin
What an awful brave and wise decision to change jobs .
I can hear from your posts that this has removed a lot of temptation and given you stability .
Sure the work is hard and pays less but you are still richer than when you gambled – you have a better and more stable life !
Well done – keep strong !
