Well done on quitting, really keep strong and remember how good it feels to not be gambling.

Hi dawncarol, bit late to the party but a big welcome to recovery & a massive congratulations on your 1st week 🙂
Must be mixed emotions (sadness & pride) seeing your little one off but great work not using it as an excuse to gamble 🙂 You may find your dogs a great support especially through these early days (I know ours probably looks back wistfully on those times & all the extra long walks he got) but remember whether anyone replies or not, this site is always here for you!
Keep winning - ODAAT
