    Hi Kathryn,
    I too had an interesting convo with the guys online (missed ya at the 5pm session) It seems that having this addiction is seen as a blessing??? I dont really get it to be fair but as for the guilt aspect, you are right, you need to move on, we are not bad people, I too had guilt, I am still ashamed of what I have done in the past but I am fighting to make sure that I will not make the same mistakes again.
    YOU can do this, this addiction will always be simmering away in the back-ground, we just need to keep it on half boil… I never thought I could cope with the thought of NEVER having an actual tangible ‘fix’  to this addiction but I honestly now believe that I (all CG) can work through our urges. I FORGIVE MYSELF, I am focused on my recovery and can already look back on my previous life and be thankful for GT and the friendships that I have found.
    Good luck Kathryn and enjoy your trip away, dont let gambling dictate your happiness!!Players do not continuously lose… They continuously nearly win!!

    Hi Kathryn,
    I got a spare HOUR so I decided to catch up on you and it seems you are doing really well, I am sooo proud of what you have achieved to date. I takes courage to do what you have done and I hope that I continue on the same path of a gambling free lifestyle. I like your dedication to your husband, it is quite easy to blame others for our mistakes and found that I too would blame friends for my gambling, this cleary wasn’t the case… I love your daily updates and as strange as it sounds I feel I kinda know you. Its great to feel part of a small community that understands and supports though most of all I enjoy the craic (Irish-ism) take care kathryn and keep that sane mind, gambling is not worth it, you fell once and to fair I think that has made you a stronger person…
    speak soon
