Hi Jas

Thanks for your message. All's going well at the moment.

Been flat out at work of late, which leaves me drained in the evenings. Not complaining though.

Don't know how I used to find the time to gamble, but of course we always did!

Enjoy your spa day tomorrow.

Catch up soon.

Thanks for the posts. Just off for my spa day.

I was reading my emails and there was one saying I had had my gaming account credited with £1000. I don't know what account this is because I must have opened and closed every single account going. In weaker times this hook would have got me but not today...not ever. Email deleted.....yeah a grand would be nice but at what price?

See you soon....Jas x

well done jasmine on deleting that e mail. . It shows the strength you have gained in fighting this addiction.it also shows how cunning these gambling sites can be. Someone may have crumbled wi an offer like that. . Excellent work keep it goin lass.

Good work on removing that Email Jas. I get them all the time - consign them to your junk mail and be done with them. Casinos etc will use any trick in the book to get us to spend our money. Keep going at it. Best thoughts Blocked.

Hi Jas

Hope you've had a pleasant day being pampered to the extreme!

Rather nice way to end what seems to have been a positive week.

Thank's for your support over the last fortnight. Been very much appreciated.

Have a great weekend.

That is so cool that you are strong in recovery. I can relate to the buzz you get when you resist these attempts at hooking you back in. Im totally made up for you!

Hope you enjoy your meal. You have been living like a princess today eh!

Take care,

Frosty morning and a list of "to do's".

Going over to one of my sisters to pop a valentines card through her door for her....I'm a hopeless romantic....and although I know it's not for everyone...I love valie day.

I feel lucky today. Not lucky in the sense I'm in for a win.....anyone ever had those feeling when gambling?.....I was always saying I felt really lucky or my right hand was itching or some other load of tosh which was a way of talking myself into gambling. I feel lucky for what I have...I haven't got loads of dosh anymore but hey ho who gives a c r a P........I wonder which stage of my recovery i am at now? That's if there are stages to this path we are all travelling on.

Nipping out now.....I did post something but it sounded rude when it wasnt meant to be so I have changed it and I have really made myself laugh at what I posted.....lmao...rofl...ha ha

Have a good weekend....Jas x

Hi Jas,

Nice to have met you online yesterday, and good to read a bit about you. I am so happy you are doing good! Gives me hope...one of my bigger struggles is not thinking about the losses. I know it is gone, by I still feel the sting of it. Looking 4ward till that is gone!!

Hope to hear from you again, and stay on the good path!

cheers M

Hi Jas

I think you are still at the beginning of your recovery and i mean that in the nicest way possible you will look back at this post in 10 years time and understand what i mean lol.You will forget that you ever gambled (maybe not eh).Hope you get lots of chocs and flowers.Keep feeling lucky Jeff.

Hi Jas

A controversial character lol !

Chat was certainly different last night. I dunno if upset is the right term, I was more just surprised and disappointed to find an attitude of non-support from one individual, which went to extent of all but saying that anyone who doesnt want to quit for good doesnt belong on this site.

For me and many others based on reading diaries and chatting, this site is great, very supportive and full of people who encourage each individual to get better regardless of what they want to do i.e. could be quitting completely, cutting down, limiting stakes, whatever.

Amazingly when I said it was first bad night in 4 weeks, I got a reply saying the last 4 years have been ok, not the last 4 weeks - a direct strike to insinuate that I have had a negative effect on this forum - from someone I have only spoken to in chat twice!

Anyway move on from last night, maybe a one-off.

Thanks for the advice re Netline etc.

Glad to read you have a busy day planned and that you are slowly coming round to knowing that being a football fan is a good thing!

I Love to Love (but my Jasmine just loves to dance)

It was two years ago today that I had a major operation that saved my life. For whatever reason when I came home and during my recovery I was gambling online like an absolute nutter. My quest was insatiable. I think my mind set was "oh well, we only live once". Two years down the road and I am thanking my God that I am so very strong in my recovery...I have changed my mind set totally...yes we only ever live once but I now realise that "tomorrow does come" and I want to enjoy my tomorrows.

I have a lot to be thankful for and in a rediculously weird way my gambling addiction has actually made me a better individual....if that could be possible! lol

Well, if i don't bull myself up who will?

Have a relaxing Sunday everyone....Jas x

Morning Jas

Thanks for your post.

You're absolutely right in what you say. I'm in a much better frame of mind than a fortnight ago. Enjoying life again now which is what it's all about.

Have a good day.

Hi Jas

There's more football on today for you to enjoy.

Crikey- life saving operation, eh? You have had it tough!

Thanks for the 2 posts yesterday - I am honoured!

Dont worry, I wont let the one bad occasion on chat put me off.

You are the solid rock of this site and your support for me and others continues to be unrelenting.

Happy Valentines Day - let me know when P is out and I'll pop round with the flowers....

Love Town

Morning Jasmine, I also think somtimes what stage at my recovery am I at , early very early. But the main thing is Jasmine you ARE in recovery and you ARE in a much better place that you were 🙂 Your comments and support towards others including me does not ever go unoticed. Hope you have a nice weekend - and hey ho im as poor as a church mouse compared to what I had 14 months ago - but at least thankful im hitting my problem face on and fighting to rid myself of this addiction.
