Hi Dark Place, just wanted to drop by & congratulate you on you journey so far 🙂 & also for beating the Ikea self builds even if it did take 4 hours! I feel your pain & we walked out of Ikea empty handed yesterday because all I could think of was how long would it take to get up (thank-you for the warning)!
My anger @ gambling has come from a different place but I am using it in my fight against this loathsome addiction! If only we had the power to stop the evil going on around the world...Is death itself not hard enough 🙁 it literally breaks my heart!
I am working @ being a better person & will not give in should the urges try anything! Keep strong - ODAAT

Hi DP,
Soo sorry to read that that horrible addiction slipped back in, but it was just a slip, you have come too far now, sending you strong and positive thoughts to get straight back up and just carry on, you are not back at the beginning, you just had a blip.
Take care and stay safe.

Everyone else has said it but I'm here to salute you for coming straight back & warning us that the evil lurks in us all & can strike @ any time if we're not completely on our guard!

Fu-king hell DP, just seen your post I can't put into words how i feel for you today. there'll be no lecture from me sir...Why.. because here sits a man who's 54 years of age and is still borrowing money from his 33 year daughter, f*****g hell DP I've been doing sh-t like this since before she was born. will i ever learn? who knows, but what i do know is how f-cking tough this is to beat. and one thing we both have is "bounce back ability " blimey mate we've had enough practice.
I echo what Sandra and Suzanne said, it's a blip, you're so much better than this. for today there's no onwards and upwards signing off from me because today DP my friend i feel your pain. Ginger

fella I have wished that,gambling addiction took me to the point i actually sought it,set off to gift my life to addiction along with everything else I had willingly given it for f**k all but misery in return. I had through progressively refusing to see life in any other form put myself in a place where I really had no self worth.
You my friend have tasted recovery.
the door revolves,it will welcome you back,not judge your shortcomings.
Gift yourself it when your ready,don't gift your life to addiction.
Don't become another sad statistic.
Duncs stepping forward never back.
Hi DP,
Just sending you strong and determined thoughts to kick that addiction into oblivion,
Take care of you my friend.
