Mixer hope you're ok!! I'm still GF partly due to this mission you have us on 🙂
Thank you everyone for your kind messages; I have been touched.
Just to let you know, I will be e-mailing Gamcare the 'Rollcall' spreadsheet in the next couple of days. If anyone wishes to take it on, and keep it updated and publish it etc. then you are more than welcome to. I realise that the rollcall is helpful to many of us. Just contact Gamcare if you would like to take it on. It's not too onerous - I've automated it to a fair degree.
I am very sorry that I cannot continue right now. I wish you all the very best for the future.
Mixer,
You have encouraged and helped many people who have arrived at this site feeling lost and in despair. Giving them hope and,with your 100 day challenge, motivation on their journeys to become gamble free.
I hope your troubles are short term and wish you all the best. Your health and your happiness are what are important.
Take care and remember you'll be welcome to pop back anytime x
Wow just heard Mixer sorry to hear but hope you can win your own battle and a massive thanks for allowing me to join the 100 day challenge it's been important in my recovery which I will continue good luck
Mixer,
Sorry to hear about your personal troubles.
I would encourage you to stay close to your diary and keep sharing. You just recently come bk fighting from the relapse also..that has affected your thinking too and i know it is pain in a b*m...but man, all the tough thoughs will pass. You're doing great...close all the doors to nasty desease...don't let it in & please..don't allow other harmful addictions to take its place. If I'm right, you mentioned about your worry re alcohol consumption.
Look after yourself and don't let the dark voices to tell you you're not worth it..you are...and everyone around you is..but try and make yourself better before giving your all & + to others around you.
Just for today...make it count ☺
