    I hope you are feeling God’s focus on you because I have been praying for you ! And I know God listens and acts when we ask – because he said so!

    Well said Laura – Tina there are all kinds of private agencies who will advices you but I think Laura is right – go with one which is not making a profit from you .
    It’s so hard to stop – but can be done .
    Sorry to be a bore (after all I can hardly afford to talk)but have you made sure the extra money you will have is safe – it is so tempting to try win our way out of finacial trouble and we only end up worse off.

    Great post Laura – I think when finances are tight it can be a trigger for us all. Not driving is a great barrier- do you miss it much?
    I am not sure whether to start a new thread – I love to let my thoughts ramble but .. I guess I’m exhausted too.
    Hope you get all that Christmas work sorted .

    Hey I gambled I a few weeks ago too Micky .
    It is horrible and it takes us a while to come to terms with it .
    I have had so many “recoveries” I have lost track.
    But today I am happy to read that you are happy .
    Keep strong.

    Hi Monica ,
    I’m glad you are back – I hope to see you in groups later .
    I have decided not to post on my own thread- just need a break from it . Means I have to be careful not to fill others threads with the stuff I want to write about me ! Lol!
    I am glad you did that letter to the court – you are a capable and strong woman – I feel you could sort out that whole country – you will get through this also – although like Laura I am not minimising who difficult things are for you right now .
    Keep strong – and keep taking those actions – when you can!

    Hope all is good in your world

    TinA – a debt company isn’t such bad news . This is just moving the debt to someone else where the interest will be frozen and you can come up with a sensible repayment plan. That’s ok- that’s not bankruptcy – some of my debts moved to debt companies . That’s ok ! Keep strong xxx

    Hey no need to be sorry – we have all been in bad places with this addiction- that’s why we get it !
    It is good to hear you sound more positive-
    Life will get better -I can absolutely promise you that.
    Just concentrate on you right now – Everything else can wait

    Hugs and best wishes !

    So glad you didn’t go ahead with that particular plan you precious , precious person .
    I think everyone has given you good advice – and like Charles says it right be easier to speak to your partner when you have a plan -knowledge is power and finding out the things you need to know for your situation will empower you whatever you decide to do xx

    Hi Mav
    I have been on here a long time and changed my name often to try motivate myself to do better – I started off many years ago as Sad and I remember you posting for a long time .
    I find it so motivating to hear of People who are living recovery – maybe one day something will finally click in my thick head .
    Than you for sharing .

    Hi Monica ,
    I hope the sun is shining this morning .
    Your shiny hair has me thinking .
    I buy cheap shampoos now in pound shop , but what I have gambled in the last eight years would have bought me my own salon. The Mind boggles at how intelligent people can be so stupid .
    I am wondering if we have been brainwashed – are we as gullible as those people who end up committing acts of terrorism or joining cults because they have been brainwashed?

    Do you think it is in us all to commit crime ? I have never committed a crime but could that be our future ?

    Interested in your thoughts
    I have been praying a lot – it is reviving .
    We can’t do this without support – but I had forgotten my number one support – God .

    Yes the chats are so good because they are on so late I prefer to go to them at weekends when I don’t have to get up next day for work .
    Maybe they are working on them and will change hem to more suitable times
