Aegretudo Egretudo !

I need a little "gift" from you today.... just to hear that you're going to keep up the fight. OK, you've taken a blow... but tell me you're getting back in the ring.

I'd echo that from Carla buddy.

We've never met in person - of course, but your support and friendship has helped me a number of times on here.

Write something short DP, just to let folks know you're OK. It will certainly make my day that much easier

Be strong

Hi DP...

And thank you bear for letting us know he is safe physically...i was very worried..

DP, you are in a dark place at the minute, but i believe there is still that tiny bit of hope and fight left in you to put it all behind and come back fighting.

I am sure you will find that way out and kick addiction to the teeth...

You can do it...don't be hard on yourself, just try to snap out of the nightmare you found urself in recently.

It will get better, you are worth better things in life.

Look after yourself...

Take care

Hello All

So today is day 6 clean, some what sorted my head out and feel calmer even tho i have lost a shed load of ££££ , i guess i have been here before and know all to well the dangers of starting again ! it really is miserable to realise one is so weak in the face of adversity and gambling !

Anyhow, i can choose how i feel 🙂 today i feel happy that i have not gambled and each day i will become stronger and stronger.... a gamble free man's pillow is his peace of mind !

Take care all, Dark Place

Hey DP. I am so glad to see you back, gambling or not! (though, of course, better to NOT gamble). I am still struggling with a couple of numb fingers so cant type easily but just wanted to say that I am happy you've made the right choice. Onwards and upwards!

I wish you all the best, reap the benefits of recovery, life is too short for regrets, make it a happier place for urself and your loved ones. Be proud and I am with you all the way. You are worth it my friend and you are on the right track.

Strength and honour

So i made it to one week ! guess i should be thankful of small mercies ! life and timing are funny things, just after i had finished blowing my brians out with gambling. Firstly my friend called me from cordova in Spain, asking if i can pay his flight to the uk because he has some work and things are so bad there he has nothing and then my brothers wife is diagnosed with breast cancer and the family is having a whip round £100 per person to help them through the travelling to and thro hospitals. Of course i cannot say no ! but bad timing ? hmmm guess that is life.

Gambling makes one so selfish you forget about everything else and cannot think straight at all, S***e i really d not know why i have done it all my life.

Weekend is here and i am rambling on, so i wish everyone a peaceful couple of days and stay gamble free. Dark Place

Day 9 and navigating through the weekend safely so far, with no desire to place a bet !

Little steps and getting stronger, long way to go but feeling better already ! went for a haircut and had a shave yesterday. Must be starting to be in a better place 🙂

Enjoy the rest of the weekend all, weather terrible but feeling brighter all round. Dark Place /

Hi DP,

Heading to the happy place indeed :-))

Be proud and take it slowly, every day counts, so why not to mk most of it and enjoy every single minute spend with the ones dear to you and enjoy that peace and calmness with urself.

Keep it up and keep posting

and so it passed, the ugly beast and all its evil tried to suck me in again but failed, the devil may care, he will cast you aside and leave you nowhere !

Day 12 and fighting everything that is evil, Dark Place

Well done and thanks for your post. I have sais it before but I could scream at where I am now. How much debt I have and how the hell I am going to manage the next few years. Well I know part of the answer is to not gamble again!
