Have edited my previous posts as they seemed too personal and not perhaps focusing on the matter in hand!! Have realised that my CG episodes are almost always down to emotional dispute/upheaval etc...and that i am the classic escapist gambler. Have self excluded in home town as i thought that would stop me from `impulse gambling`...how wrong that turned out to be! Tho now the stress on christmas is over i feel strangely calm...So here we go again....on day 3.On a positive note the cat has come to visit.(cats have more integrity than dogs...no cats in the police force!)
Good luck to everyone....whatever stage your at....and in the words of dodinsky
If you stumbled today, remember where and how it felt.
Tomorrow,take a different path.
Life flourishes from it`s pain
and the lessons we gain.

Hi Simon
Thank you for your very kind words and support on my journal, it was very nice of you. I hope you are well and keeping strong. As you have read on my diary you are not the only escapist gambler and if truth be known is that not why most people gamble?
Anyway keep strong, I am not great at advice but I will always be here for support 🙂
