I like that.

Be kind to yourself. Someone said that to me on here and it rang true cos theres nothing kind about gambling. It makes you sick and sad and angry and ruthless and allsorts of negative things. So that’s my advice to you today is be kind to yourself x

Welcome back Nick. It’s good to see you posting . Sorry you’re having a bad time.

[sherrie]

It’s hard to put one foot in front of the other when you feel like that. Well done for still posting and keeping on with recovery. Have a great day Jen xoxox

Had a lovely day today. Went round my best friends house and had tea like proper English folk in the sunny back garden followed by cuddling up under a blanket and watching a box-set till it was time to come home. I’m starting to really enjoy the simple pleasures again.

I went to the Doctor last Thursday. Got some happy pills. Side effects have knocked me sideways though. Been sick all weekend. Have to say, no urges to do anything unhealthy so I’ll stick with them.

Your kind comments have moved me. It felt good to hear that I am worth the effort. Thank-you x

[sherrie]

I’ve messed up.

[sherrie]

I appreciate your replies. I’m doing good. Haven’t smoked a cigarette in 2 days now aswell which is a pretty big deal given how I’ve been doing lately. I did some work at home on Sunday so everyone at work thinks I’m a nutter for working but I couldn’t tell them I was just trying to stay busy in a positive way. I saved myself alot of money by working for free. They now think I’m a geek. I think I’m okay with that.

I unplugged for most of tonight. Felt the need to not be on the internet. I did a jigsaw puzzle that I got for Christmas last year. I had a calm and pleasant evening. I know it makes me sound like a pensioner but genuinely, I had a good time. I look forward to tomorrow.

You are more than welcome. I will continue to say prayers for you. Just so you know, I hit a major milestone. I talked to my Husband about what I’ve been doing. I feel it was an important step and one of the things that’s been holding me back. I look forward to tomorrow.

[sherrie]

Thanks for the replies and the advice. I went to bed. I then went to work. I did stop.

[sherrie]

Yes it’s online. I told Hubby last time and he blocked it and made me safe but I’m scared to tell him what I’ve done. I am so far in, I don’t know what to do.

[sherrie]

I lost a months wages already and then some.

[sherrie]

Yes, I’m stuck. I keep gambling. Hubby lost his job and I’m so scared of being poor I keep gambling but I keep losing and then I gamble to make it alright and then I make it worse and I can’t tell Hubby what I’m doing cos I’m scared of the fall out.
