1st steps

As long as the blocks are in place and you've got your support no matter how uncomfortable you feel its far better in the long run than gambling mate....stay positive with that smile,we can do this 🙂

Perhaps if we had all been a bit more open and honest and made each other feel a bit more uncomfortable a long time ago, we wouldn't have ended up here. So, do keep positive and smiling, more importantly, remain open and honest, no matter how difficult it may be - it is ALWAYS better than trying to cover your tracks and lying, which always comes out in the end. Am proud of your determination - the test will be when you hit problems because your gambling comfort blanket is what you usually run to - we will then see whether you can develop new strategies - and I am SURE you can. Have a good day. xxx

Hello all on this lovely Friday, well it has been a roller coaster. Last week at GA the car broke down. A week with no car and as I go to a GA meeting out of the way I will be unable to attend this evening. Bit gutted as I really enjoy them. So thought I would give my therapy on here. Car should be sorted one way or another within the next week so I'll be attending next week. Well I have just been give my appraisal for the year and have secured a decent bonus. Don't worry my mum and gf will be dealing with this financial situation thus avoiding any temptation. Then I have had some more gd news which I most definately didnt expect and it is I have made it through to the final stage of an application for a promotion internal. I have 30 mins in a head to head by the sounds against another candidate. It will be a huge jump and I am so proud to have got this far. I wish I had my clear and concise thinking all them years ago before gambling but it is now starting to pay off after abstaining for a 12 month period and me being seen in a new light at work. Fingers crossed for Tues. More importantly tho enjoy your weekend ODAAT not gambling and keep smiling 🙂 My name is PSOWM and I'm a Compulsive Gambler. 🙂

Well, I know it has been a long and tough week and a half for you. Just thought |'d post on your diary that I am proud of you and wish you happiness. Keeping off the gambling, particularly when you have had all the setbacks that you faced this week was not easy. So .... WELL DONE .... stay strong ODAAT .... and PLEASE keep smiling! xxx
