    Good Day Everyone…hope you are all OK?
    Its now 2 weeks to go until I enter the Gordon Moody Association Residential Programme. I have just booked my train ticket and am getting other stuff sorted at this end. Its a massive thing to undertake but I am going to give it everything as I want to STOP gambling for good.
    My week at work has been OK but a little stressful at times. I have been going for a long walk in the evening and trying to eat healthier, but the latter is difficult. Wishing you all well.
    Keep safe everyone.

    Dear All,
    I hope you are all well?
    Yesterday I went back to my home town and spent a few hours with my best friend. For the first time I let him in on what things have been like for the last several years whilst gambling “my bollocks”.
    To say that I was nervous is an understatement, but the response that I got was one of support and understanding…did not expect this. Maybe I could get use to this ‘honesty thing’. It felt such a relief getting it off my chest and sharing a small snapshot of my life as an addicted gambler.
    3 weeks to go now until I arrive in Dudley…not long now!!
    Keep safe everyone,
    Ian

    Hello All,

    Many Thanks for your response and kind words. Its a difficult time but I am confident that things are going to get better. Like most of the people on here we have lived with this addiction for many years and we are here because we want to do something about it. I am heading into work now, not many more days to go until I leave and head to Dudley in the West Midlands. Keep safe everyone and we will have contact soon,

    Regards,

    Ian
