HARMONY !

A great last post. You are in exactly the same place as me it seems. Your final words explained it perfectly. Similar to what a very elderly man I know said. If you are in a hole stop digging! Stop feeding the monster forever Shiny. I am very very proud of you. I knew you could do it. A-n. Xxxx

goo-bye ol' shiny.. I'll miss you so, but, will always remember you. Here's a great big hug to hopefully last a lifetime. Grrrrrugghggrrr. There now. On your way, before I start blubbering all over the page.. -joanxxx

Hi Shiny,

I think you are an amazing lady......You really have turned your life around despite all the s**t life threw at you!

Am really sad that you are not going to be around any longer.

I want to thank you SO much for being there for me.

Gonna miss you!

Hi Shiny... sorry to hear that you have decided to call it a day. I can appreciate what you say. From what you say, this place has done its job and now its time to move on. If truth be known am slightly jealous of the fact that you don't need this place anymore. I'd like to be one of those people that settles back into a reasonably contented family/social/work life without gambling of course! The reality for me is that i need this place just as much as i did 5 years ago and on that note just to say that and as ive said to many others before you... you can change your mind about anything at any time and if you wanted to come back then come back. Am waffling. Your support to me and others has just been awesome. Warm regards... S.A 🙂

hi shiny....not sure if your reason for going and squabbling is in reference to something i dont know about but ive been off the forum for few days...if it is and im oblivious then sorry you feel that way and im sorry you find relapses hard to to cope with which i can understand as i did when i first got on ths forum in diary 1.

youve found a middle lane and im sure you will stay in it and not need this forum any more.im still processing which will take a long time either on or off this forum.

Goodbye and good luck

hey shiny...

I got the wrong end of the stick now ive been on the site reading round..just only nornally read a small amount of diaries so didnt get tthe full kit and kaboodle.

Had a dreadful xmas but still going..lots of misunderstandings on the homefront and also about my posts too which was mentioned to me that it could be read as me having a go at folk not doing it right unless they do step 3 etc... obviously i took that really well and didnt loose my rag at all!

I was frustrated only with myself over it and a lot of posts are me arguing with myself in sheer frustration.....no need for me to set up multiple accounts...I have multiple personas on a daily basis on the one account!..lol

Am also saddened by the conflict on here.... less for me as I use my diary selfishly but for people who may be now confused and doubting who is who and what is what...

Anyhoo....just whittering now....take care...pop back ..no doubt i will still be here but perhaps more on page 8 these days as im just in the windless stagnant doldrums...but did raise a smile there as i typed that remembering the ol shipping forecast days.

take care ((((((((S))))))))..we've come a long long way togther...through the bad times and the good..im gonna celebrate you Shiny...and praise you like I should xx.

Just had a read of your last post and in a selfish way im really sad to see you have left the forum but then in a proud way it made me beam from ear to ear.

I sooooo wanted to tell you my news, you did say a few months ago should i get a hat... Well you better get one. !!!!!

I know you wanted annonimity etc from this site but i really would love to stay in touch with you off here.. I.e facebook etc. I think rach can vouch that im not a weirdo lol...

Anyways no pressure if not..... I truely wish you from the bottom of my heart all the very best for your future recovery, I know you can do it and want to thank you for all the laughs, support, advice and help you gave me.

I couldnt of done it without people like you.

Take care shiny pants....

Hey Shiny pants,

Just wanted to fly by and say I miss you and I hope that life is treating you well and more imporantly that you are treating yourself well, I know you will.

Sending you snowballs and hugs.

Hi Shiny, just passing through like a ninja. In and out before you know it. Like you, I've kept a low profile as of late, since November I think, don't know who left first. Anyway just want to wish you well whatever you're up to, life for me is fine at the moment and I hope it is for you too, take care, Steve.
