Even if you can’t face doing it all at once , do a little at a time. You will get there. M. 🙂

Hi Andrea being positive or negative it doesn’t really matter , if you feel positive say it if you feel negative say so the last thing you want to do is bottle any negative thoughts up. Above all be honest which you can be on here no-ones going to shout at you or put you down , were all cg’s on here remember. And remember any advice you get you can take or leave . M. 🙂

Long days with no money and no car and sick and tired of being sick and tired finally got my appointment with the cnwl in july , making lots of plans everyday especially payday (danger day ). I can’t sleep , having those dreams all the time when you know your dreaming . It’s like being a prisoner in your own house , i suppose it’s better than the real prison i was in the infamous durham . Another 17 days until payday , 17 days of blagging it and feeling pathetic. To be honest i know i can do it but sometimes i’m thinking i can’t do this anymore , sorry for sounding so down about it all but honesty is mentioned alot on the posts on here and i’m just being honest . M.

[micky]

Well done Andrea you can do it and your so right we cannot do it on our own . We have to reach out and get all the help we can i have been doing the same the last few days.

1. Being a blood donor (it’s a great feeling to know you may have helped save someones life , i’m up to 50 pints now so hopefully i have.
2.Having children, when so many people have not been blessed with them, i know friends who haven’t but would have loved to have had them.
3.Being healthy physically, so many people have not been blessed with good health since the day they were born 🙁

I once asked a priest if he told lies he replied no but sometimes avoided the truth. Maybe your friend had genuinely forgotten i think you shouldn’t jump to any conclusions just yet , think it through first 🙂 M.

1.My wonderful friends on Gambling Therapy.
2. Having a job.
3.My voluntary work.

Hi happy i write down 3 things im grateful for everyday i wake up , got the idea off someone on a different site, will deffo put my gt friends on tomorrow just for you . i suppose you could write any amount of things, it does make you feel positive i put them on stick its then place them above my desktop so i only have to glance up and there they are 🙂

Hi Andrea like all of the above C.G’S can relate to what your going through right now. I also started in the arcades when i was about 8 or 9 years old and i’m 51 . My wages are blown yet again and i am off on the sick . Unfortunately there is no quick fix or magic to make everything better right away. My advice is to get as much help as you can and see where it takes you also plan your payday because that is a major trigger like me for you. M.

1. my youngest son Nicky.
2. lucky and lucy , my cats.
3.My life.

[micky]

Hi Happy your post about the downside to honesty was spot on, you could go on and on, i’m the same as you it’s an addiction thats looked down upon like we deliberately do it and know the consequences . I was in the doctors today leaflets all about help for drug addiction in the place , if your a druggie they bend over backwards for you, the doctor gave me advice on ga and sent me on my way i felt fobbed off.
