Even when i joined this site i was very wary of giving out my personal details especially as im no computer whizz kid. .hopefully you will get some kind of comp back from the bank. . Best wishes and thanks again.

Hi Jas

With everything thats happened recently you have done fantastic not to use it as and excuse to gamble, I know I would have (well I would a couple of weeks ago). You are obviously stronger than you give yourself credit for. Long may it continue, and tank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support in my road to recovery.

Take care x

Hi Jas

Been a bit busy lately ive only just read on your diary about them robbing ba***rds helping themselves to your money.Well Jas you have kept it together and not let it get to you (in a gambling way).I hope you get it back.Stay strong Jas .All the best Jeff.

Hi jas, I have only been on this site for a week or so, but really empathize with you over your bank problem, it happened to us but I went into a meltdown because I thought everyone would think I had done it. The guilt never goes away even when you know that you are innocent. I have been inspired by your strength and hope that i can follow the same path. Well done to you, love Maddiex

Hi Jas

Well done on continued abstinence from gambling despite your troubles.

give me your address and I'll put a cheque in the post to the Help Out Jas fund.....

Well, the bank have refunded the cash but wont tell me what their investigations involve. It's probably just me.... I am happy to get my money back but what are they doing to catch these fraudsters. Just leave it with us.....well no.......going to see the police tomorrow to push it. This is serious...they have been getting away with this since 2007 from what I can gather. Anyway.....will try to put this to bed for now.

Went in chat today and a member came in who had been clean for four years and suddenly lost a load online last night. It's a reminder to us all that if we are serious about quitting we have to be on our toes...not all the time, that would be all consuming...but this addiction is obviously very patient indeed and will wait and wait and wait until it gets what it wants.

I was tempted to have a go on the Grand National. P is in a sweepstake at work and he siad he may go put a bet on it too. I was a bit grouchy and told him not to involve me as even when I used to have a bet on it I had most of the horses....compulsive or what....and true to form....one of the few horses I hadn't had a go on won the blasted race...then I would say....I thought about having that one...I saw it's name...why didn't I have that one....and it would ruin the rest of the afternoon. I'm not interested now.

If P wants a go on something then I can't really stop him just because I became a cg...can I? It can be annoying though.

P has gone over to his Ma's to do some cleaning and check her out. I feel she is quite poorly and he needs to spend some time with her. I feel a bit guilty not going with him but it is quite draining on me....I worry too much about others and leave myself vulnerable.

Fancied a drink last night....boozey drink....don't usually drink in the week but just fancied a few. Anyway...got a bit carried away and one led to another and another.....so ended up pretty blotto. It was snowing and I was outside taking pictures at 2am! That's what my true personality is like......not trapped in a gambling bubble....but alive and free.

Feel rough now...it's my own fault but did enjoy my on the spur of the moment madness.

Easter holidays coming up. It will be a little quiet here as none of our girls will be with us. I invited my sister over but she is working.......everyone seems to be working.

My little niece is travelling to Lourdes on Saturday, so I will pop round to see her before she goes.

I still can't quite believe there is snow here at this time of the year.....bloody freezing.

morning jas. . Good to see you get your money back. . Is it really worth the hassle pursueing it with the polis. . I know its frustrating and piece of mind though. . Ahh the grand national. . Hundreds of sweeps going round and an over hyped national frenzy. . I know your made of stronger stuff though. . Keep up the excellent work and happy easter to you. .

Hi Jas

Good God. I don't read the diaries for a week and all hell breaks lose. Girl, I'm sorry I wasn't here for moral support. I am proud of you for how you dealt with this whole episode. Good on you.

And thank you for your positivity.

Son's blood results came back normal(please see my post), you have your money back...let's have a happy Easter...

Lots of Love

God Bless

Good for you for going to the police and pushing - go kick some a** girl! I agree that they are not doing enough, this kind of thing has to be stopped. Robbing people blind, anonymously from a computer? Heinous.

Sorry I havent been around much this week. Guess Ive been wrapped up in my world. No harm in that once in a while i guess.

I am going to have a good drink tonight too, I am celebrating returning to paid work after 2 and a half years, and really facing some demons. Ive done 4 weeks now, and am off for Easter so time to *** open a beer - cheers!

Hi Jas

Great news on getting your money back.I hope the hangover has gone lol.

Jas a quiet Easter ?Hmmmm im not so sure 2am Blotto taking pictures in the snow midweek.I dont think you know how to have a quiet one lol.

What i do know is you will have a good one and you will make sure everyone around you enjoys themselves.All the best Jeff.

Hey Jas

Drunk and snowball fights in the middle of the night lol.

You will be getting us RCGs a bad name!

Have a nice (quiet) Easter.

Thank you for the posts (*_*)

I have mundane things worrying me. Can't decide on the colour paint for my lounge, the hard winter has killed many of my plants, my grass on the back lawn is wrecked, should I make a Sunday roast when there is only P and me here....decisions, decisions. Normality...it's quite nice this mundaneness!

Going to walk my pooches and then practice some piano....I have an exam coming up in June and it really does focus my mind....a bit of pressure never hurt anyone.

Been thinking a lot about rewarding myself for my continued successful recovery. Bought myself a new dress and i'm going to wear it today...all dressed up and nowhere to go lol....but it will make me feel good. When i was young we all had new clothes for Easter and got dressed up......lovely memories.

Have a peaceful Easter everyone.

Love from Jas xx

You are so right Jas--Easter is so much better when it does not revolve around gambling.

A nice boring, peaceful and gambling free Easter holiday it is then----brilliant.

All the best

Thanks for your post Jas. Have a restful day. My wife is working. people still need looking after even today. So a pretty boring day here. Not even cooking today. Too many left overs need eating up.

Yes that was a shake up in chat with the guy who went back after 4 years. Again this week I was asked why I still come to Gamcare. Well maybe it`s because I don`t want to be like that chap.

I talk about my " re wired " thinking. I am very serious about that. The new relations hip with money. Budgets, planning, none of them allow for wastage and that very much includes gambling.

But who knows if the demon will attack? I don`t think i would let him but best to be sure.
