Dearest Zoe (Vinnie)
You have battled bravely in overcoming the urges to gamble and are now over 2 years gamble free.
Throughout that time you have given love, support and encouragement to family and friends.
You have also been a good friend and confidant to many who have walked beside you in gamcare.
Despite dalays and upheaval you persevered and started a new chapter in your life when moving into your new home.
Your bravery, courage and resilience have shown you to be a woman of your word. A lady of honour who has always behaved with honesty and integrity. A true warrioress who stands up for what she believes in.
You are indeed deserving of respect and I salute your many achievements.

A warrioress of note
Waylaid by addiction
She stood her ground and fought
Guarded by a righteous shield
Integrity her sword
Side by side respectfully
Gamcare friends applaud
Two and a half years gamble-free
This legend journeys on
Hope forever in her heart
And on her lips a song

Took me a little longer to bounce back mentally from the betrayal from a family member this time , but feel ok atm ready to take on the day and get back into fitness, put a little weight on from not smoking or exercising but that’s ok was to be expected , the money side of not smoking or gambling is a amazing feeling just being able to do little things in life ?

Thought I’d do a quick update ,
fell sleep this afternoon so still up,
fitness is going well just ordered a weighted vest to put on for walks and squats,
I’m happy with the friends/family I’m around,
life is good, I will always be a compulsive gambler on guard but for today I will not gamble.
Thought I’d check in ,
looked on days since last gambled 1002 wow who would of thought this was possible keep going all , early days are hard the nightmares, worrying about debt , the crash back to reality and everything eles that comes with this addiction , but their is better days coming without gambling life is so much better it’s hard to stop once your brains programmed to fill it with gambling but so worth it …
wow vinnie nice, well done, you managed it 1000 days..... horray....... congratulations xxxx
