s Hi DP, thanks for the heads up I'm still pushing on feeling good and confident, good to see you've got that flu out the way for your hols, so far I've avoided it but most of the family have seen it come and go. have a great holiday mate, you're sounding very confident too that's great to hear. 126 not out great score, you've fallen off the wagon before just like me, and just like me you are more positive than ever you're not going back. this will be the first year for decades my new year resolution isn't give up gambling because I've already quit. 1 month and counting, can't think of anything i want to give up this time. was gonna try quitting nail biting then realised i dont do that anymore since i stopped gambling, i wonder why?....... dont wonna give up drinking I'm like you I enjoy a beer. I booked my holiday early in the year too, you see DP we aren't as irresponsible as we think, we go 9th jan cruising around gulf states,no gambling there.all the very best to you and you're family for Christmas, have a great stress free time.... regards.....Ginger

Lovely Christmas day with the family, little boy unwell again but i guess its just that age and time of year.

I received an email at 1.30am this morning from a friend who proceeded to say he was putting an end to our friendship. He accused me of being a non entity for the last 2 years and outlined everything negative about me. It was somewhat of a shock and several of the points were true, ironically he is a terrible gambler himself and finished by accusing me of being a sanctimonious hypocrite ! nice choice of words but maybe he is right ? it is fact that the people we mix and socialise with have a huge impact on our lifes. So i have somehow begun to resent friends that still gamble and realised that to be truly free of gambling some tough decisions have to be made with people you consider friends. Seems this friend made the decision for me but still somewhat suprising. He must have been resenting and disliking me for several months to have out poor of negativity about me like he as ??? is this truly me ? its to dark to look in the mirror and i do not want to wake my family up.

So a strange end to Christmas day.

This has given me penty to think about but one thing is for sure.... i will not weaken my resolve and give in to the demons that ave wreaked havoc on my life and so any others. We are human and weak but our willingness to change is a strength to behold.

God bless you all and your families fellow friends trying to change your life and families life for the better, Dark Place
