Safe place sounds nice

Ps start a diary!

Very interesting cardhue...very deep psychological stuff!! I havent got that far into my recovery yet . For now i keep it very simple...no access to cash cards and no gamble. Early days for me!!

Hi allainepo

It sounds like you have really settled in to the forum. Really, a diary is no different to a thread in the intros section of the forum. If you are going to continue to post (and we hope you do), it makes sense to start a thread over in the diaries section. You have been careful not to give away any identifiable information in this thread - you can continue to do the same and use your judgement in the diaries. We have some guidance which might help you: http://www.gamcare.org.uk/forum/uploading-photos-and-personal-information

Best wishes for your recovery.

Hi again & thanks for your kind words 🙂 Most of my diary should be condemned to the 'nut house' so can I recommend Duncanmac's instead 🙂

Sorry to hear you are feeling low @ the moment & just wanted to mention that as well as 3 days under the covers @ the start of my journey, I had a course of anti-depressants recently & wanted to tell you that my side effects disappeared quite quickly! Hopefully, these will settle you enough for you to start piecing back the pieces of your broken heart.

Your honesty will be very refreshing to some people if you do make the leap over onto the diary section & don't fear your vulnerability. We all have weaknesses which is why addiction was able to exploit us...Recognising yours is a massive deal & something you should take a great deal of pride in!

Sending you a cyber blow torch to help start making inroads into that dirty great snowball 🙂

Well done on your 77 days allainepo, its a great achievement, Keep up the good work 🙂

Thanks Allainepo for posting in my diary, your words remind me of what I am capable of doing. I can be strong and get back on track to a GF life. Keep going, small steps at a time, never being complacent.

Hi, thank you for passing by my diary, and well done on your gf days. I hope life is treating you well. With regards the dog biscuit and green tea, well if that was a cure for gambling I would be very rich person! I was in a very dark place when I wrote the title, now 41 days on, accepting the losses and positive thinking along with the blocks I feel reborn. This site and the people on it help so much. SImple things like walking in the park, noticing different coloured leaves, more sleep makes me never want to go,to,that dark place again. Best wishes to to you and stay safe X x

Hi allainepo just wanted to drop by and say hi I haven't posted to you since you kindly gave me support when I first got on here so sorry about that. I take sertraline and flupenthixol which is good for anxiety if the sertraline doesn't help? I get depression and anxiety and the flupenthixol really helps. Hope your ok hun best wishes Lu x

How you getting on with those happy pills allainepo? Is your anxiety easing any? When I went on them, I read an awful lot of posts about how important it was to keep working on finding the right dose as well as the right meds.

Something in the back of my mind is wondering about your court case...Either way, if it's gone, I hope you are able to put it behind you now & if it's coming up, I hope you can draw strength from knowing that you won't be in the dark much longer. If I've muddled you up with someone else, massive apologies or you don't want to talk about it, that's also cool, it's your perogative. I guess I just want to wish you well!

In any case, congratulations on your rising day count 🙂 & keep fighting - ODAAT

Hey you, seriously, about time you headed over to the diary section for a bit more adult company huh 🙂

Obviously I completely agree with your lottery post being that it agreed with me but I too have massively struggled to come to terms with labels! Wondering if the similarities could be linked to our current recovery path & not having the outside influences of GA or counselling? I think people who have that kind of support do figure out the hows & whys, me, I'm with you @ the minute, learning how to live with it. I will never say never thiugh & am open to exploring if that's where this journey takes me.

Hope all went well with the Quack & things continue to tick along @ 5 - ODAAT
