Thanks everyone for your posts, hope you are having a good Bank Holiday weekend.
All is good with my son and myself - he is working hard and staying on track, as always, taking one day at a time and trying to work on the honesty and truth, that I sometimes don't believe him ... I am sure it will come but I have suffered so much deceipt I find it hard to believe and trust as I have been so hurt in the past - anyway on a more positive note going away with friends tomorrow for 2 days before work on Tuesday - take care everyone Jx
Just popping in ... haven't posted for a
just over a week ... have been so so busy - my son is still doing well on his recovery journey, has moved out inot his own place and taking on those responsibilities ...
week 18 for him, I am so proud of him
He sounded quite down today though, his work ahve been messing about with him, promising him promotion and then not following through - he is quickly learning lifes lessons - just worry about him when he sounds down.
As always taking one day at a time on this recovery journey.
hope all is well with everyone, and hopefully the sun will shine on us all soos, take care

Hi Charlotte and all
Thx Charlotte for your post ... all is good with me.
Haven't posted for a while as life has been busy busy.
My son is doing fine ... moved out, changed jobs and keeping strong.
He hadn't been to his counsellor for a month due to work load and went back last week, she is so pleased with him , she thought he had fallen off the recovery path !
But he is staying strong, I am trying my best to believe all he says ( I know sometimes I find this hard), but he seems so happy at the moment ... but as always I take each day ad it comes and build on that
Hope you are all well and enjoying the great British summer !!

Lovely to hear things are still going well for you and your son. It must be so less worrying for you as his mum when you know he is no longer gambling. All good with me too.

Many happy returns.
The best gift you could receive today would be those three words you son makes daily.
No bet today.
Just for today enjoy it.
Be proud of both your efforts.

Thanks Duncs
Have had a good day, my son is doing well, had lunch with him today and he bought me a gift voucher to have a neck and back massage.
I am so proud of him, but like a Mum always worry about him - I worry now when he goes out, as his resistance is lower than normal ... And he's out tonight at a Leaving do ! So will not sleep so well, but he has be proving to me that he can have nights out and be good. As always taking each day at a time, but growing with pride at his achievements
Thanks again for your post
