New comrades I see a diary anew,
Welcome my friend to you and to you...
you've found the right place
your recovery base
your not alone in the hell you've been living
all of us here have had our giving
a small step then another
along side your brother
Mr g has no shame hel try make u fall
But together we can hand in hand build a wall
and make a stand
together in recovery
new comrades there's a place for you
your not alone in the hell you've been through
here's the place the sun can shine through x
poems
There is a lovely guy called Wayne,
Who is definitely not doing recovery in vain.
OAU he slowly does walk,
and with his heart to heart poems he surely does talk.
Of all the heartache he and us have had to walk.
There is so much hope for each and everyone just read Wayne's poems, and get on board,
Gambling madness will then feel absurd.
We must never lest we forget,
Otherwise we may be tempted to place a ridiculous bet.

Thanks Suzanne x
Hoping your well and managing to escape successfully the gambling hell?
The poetry and emotion does come from my heart,
Hoping it helps, challenges and conversates, the trip we all must take,
I've managed 161 days to date,
And i was as addicted as anyone could be,
i lived gambling, breathed gambling and just couldn't see,
yet now i let it be and finally i am free....
lonely, drowning in debt and often bored too,
yet gambling is not the thing to do........slowly and surely i rise from the hell to walk to my paradise of life worth living...
life is challenging enough without the massive disadvantage of gambling.....
Roll on One year.................fellow troups good luck all.
The poetry is quiet,
not a single post for such a while,
the industry observes,
our manarisms and patterns,
which way our brains tick,
the profit such data can be made from it,
caution - what you give,
as you freely speak and print the clues.
sly is the format, spy maybe the plan.
yet whoever could diverge such irrational dark matter,
would surely be worthy of a place with us mad hatters.
Such minds would surely end up purely shattered.

URGES.....
how obsurd is an urge,
a trick of the brain,
to drive one and all slowly insane,
a screwed up membrane,
and there was i
i don't deny, seemingly as free as a bird,
then BANG - shot down,
taken swiftly by that obsurd,
devilish Urge!!

They are some profound lyrics Wayne and so very true 🙁
I am super proud to see that you are not giving into those devilish urges though! Keep fighting the great fight my friend. You said that your debts will take years to pay off... I see a year milestone coming up in your near future 😉
YOU ARE GETTING THERE!
Cannot wait to celebrate with you
Your friend

Hello Emily,
I hope your doing ok?
i can report i have reached 300 days today and really looking forward to that year milestone......it seems really important as a year is a significant amount of time to feel great about and something i've never achieved before in the past - no matter how hard i had tried.
Lets hope i can do it!
last week i worked over 70 hours - so hopefully my debt will be paid in less than 4 years if i keep my current employment...albeit it is not a permanent position.....as agency on going .... how longs a piece of string ....type 🙂
Take care my friend x
checking in 363 days gamble free.....2 days to go to make my first entire year!!!
Congratulations to me, and everyone else in the 2015 challenge.
Looking forward to 2016 challenge as can never let this slip as ruin comes hard and fast in this addiction.
The future looks much more brighter nearly one year on.....i still have much debt but have paid a decent amount off and the best thing of all i have added no further debt to my bill via gambling..........all extra debts have been from normal lifes trials like car problems or domestic bills etc....
Life is starting to be good again, slowly but surely.
Hope you all had a good gamble free christmas, my christmas is on 28th December 2015 - a one year gamble free milestone 100%
Best Regards

440 DAYS OF SUCCESS,
MANY OF THOSE CAUSED DISTRESS
CHURNED UP IMAGES, NOT IMPRESSED
LIKE SWIMMING WITH THE LOCH NESS
HEAVY HEART, NO REST,
TOO MUCH DEBT TO INVEST,
LIKE GOVERNMENT WORK OR NHS.
WE ON TRIAL, SO BE ERROR FREE,
DESTROY IT, THEN IT WON'T DESTROY ME,
MOST IT MAY DO , IS TOY WITH ME,
MIND MEETS MATTER,
MORE TEA.....MAYBE EVEN ONE OR TWO WHISKEY...
OH DEAR BEST NOT GET TIPSY....
