No posts Baljit???
He,ll be back when hes finished his latest slip??? or run out of money,lol
hi.
Do you only want people to say positive things to you, boy2man?
How do you think that would help your recovery? If everyone said 'wow! you are doing great!' after your 3rd slip of the week. Sometimes the truth hurts, but we need to face up to the truth whether it is positive or negative. Gamblers don't like to face reality - fact.
Point taken though, Baljit's diary is starting to turn into a joke to poke fun at, and that isn't helping anybody.
Asking Baljit some direct questions about what he has done to put blocks in place and commenting on his lack of response is POSITIVE - it is pointing out that he is avoiding these issues which are important in recovery.
But I agree, good man for sticking up for him 🙂
Baljit,
Hows it going?
Hey Boy2man,
Its a shame you deleted your post. We all have something to offer here, and please dont feel that you don't.
I offered my take on what you had to say, but I am not the expert. I hope I was respectful in my response!
Please don't let it put you off posting on the diaries, you made some really good points.
Baljit where are you? you can do this if you put effort into your recovery!

Why dont people understand we are not all strong i am trying but i feel low down then turn to gambling i been gambling all week everyday sick of it lost about £2100 people keep saying were do i get the money you just use credit cards or pawn cheques but this week i have felt so low every day feel like killing my self but no i am being strong , my last day of GAMBLING IS THUR 15th APRIL 2010 AND MY FIRST DAY OF RECOVERY WILL BE FRI 16th APRIL 2010 I will do this i can pay back my money that i owe its stopping this GAMBLING ,
baljit, We all understand but please if you want help do the things that people suggest, like exclude yourself and give all your cards and money to someone else, if you do this it will help you stop, just try it and tell us all you have done it tomorrow then 16th will be your first day of recovery kr, maddie
Hi Baljit,
I wondered where you had been,thanks for posting.
See you again soon.
"" A NEW LIFE ""
first day no gambling at all good for me i will do this with the support of my friends here thanks a millon to everyone ! I mean that thank you this site is a help to lot of us . Day two 2 on Sat
baljit, have you now ensured that you have no access to large amounts of money? Please answer this question, it is very important.
and have you excluded yourself from the bookies and online ???
why does he never reply to the questions people ask? its all to help for his own benefit. thats the reason that makes me question whether this is serious and if it is whether he is.
I think your mindset has to change before you will have continued success in recovery Baljit.
Once you are ready to quit you will self exclude and put all of these barriers in your way.
I hope you dont lose your wife and home before you reach this point.
Where are you?
