Good morning

Welcome gr maybe give us a bit more of a background story when you're ready. All the best

Hello Deano,

I have gambled for over 10 years.
I have read alot of diaries on here. I got inspiration from you, oldham, alan, cw, balvaird and gambling toad.

I need to now start my own diary of recovery. Draw from these inspirational men and women.
Push forward.......

Thankyou for listening.
GR.

Excellent GR, Keep reading. All the best to you. Ask as many questions as you can. Tri

I thank you for your kind words but i would not look upon myself as an inspiration - more of someone who had a problem and did something about it. The same as those others you mention with the exception of Mr Toad who made little effort as the addiction completely got hold. Perhaps an example!

Hi Balvaird,

Great advice as always. Although i don't want to judge others on here and their personal journey. I'm here to give and receive support. Good luck in your own recovery.

Hi there Gamblers Rest and welcome. How long have you been gambling for? What was your preferred method of gambling or was it just gambling in general? Do you have barriers in place to aid in your recovery?

All the best

Hi Sam,

I have been gambling just over 10 years. I liked the horses and dogs then recently fobt roulette. I used to gamble online. I have self excluded recently too and i carry less cash.

Hi there Toad/Paul/Gamblers Rest

Wondered where you had gone.

Hi All,

Sorry you must be mistaken. My name is gamblers_rest. Mr Jones.....

Are you sure? Seems rather odd that you would lump a certain creature in amongst a proper list of truly inspirational people!

Hi All,

Going to see a hypnotist tonight at 8pm. I am a wee bit apprehensive. Each sessions lasts 2 hours and there's 2 sessions. It costs £140.00. So quite alot of money. If it works though i don't mind.

I had a lapse today. I had ВЈ10 and turned it into £140 then lost it all.

I'm a bit disappointed. At least tonight i can chat about it. I can hopefully find some rest.

My name is gamblers rest.
Thankyou for listening.

Morning all,

I was hoping for a light breakfast but I hadn't time. So going to the coffee shop to get some rest before work.

As I said earlier in my diary i needed a rest from gambling so i came up with the name Gamblers rest. It sounds like a hotel name i know but i think we all need a rest from gambling by the sounds of it.

Last night i was at a hypnotist. It was meant to be for 2 hours but lasted 3hours.

I felt very relaxed. Today i feel rested and very very positive. I love who i am and i am confident of overcoming this addiction just like other gamcare users.

I was a big fan of gambler_toad. I loved his determination and i drew from that. His diary for me was a true inspiration. I even read his whole diary at the weekend.
We all can have toad like crudentials. We all can have toads positivity. We can all have a happy life by the pond.

Anyway i hope you can also yearn that rest from gambling. You deserve it as you are a special person. Be happy in your skin. Breathe deeply and rest.

I'm a weird way I actually missed reading your parody account.
I do enjoy a bit of light hearted humor.

For breakfast this morning I had
Sawdust mixed with snake milk.
Washed down with and bottle if sunny delight that has a use by date of 1993 vintage
Enjoy the REST of your day toad
