I hope all goes well today and your Dad gets the right send off, as Blondie said a celebration of life.

My thoughts are with you.

duncs stepping forward never back.

Hi Shiny

Driving home tonight I suddenly had a thought..that despite being round a lot of people today that you may feel very lonely.

I know everyone's different so tonight Dear Shiny I hope that you can be with people who you can just be yourself with even if that is just to sit, or if you want to be alone that you have a place of solace to go to and rest.

The GC forum is 24/7 and open all hours if you need us.

Shiny,

Typical of you to be first on my dairy offering support when at this time you are the one in need of kind words. You are an exceptional person. I hope the coming days, weeks and months are kind to you.

Thanks for the post.

Hey shiny pants,

Just popping my head in to say I am thinking about you, i know how very tough those initial days, weeks and months are, but like gambling i suppose one day at a time, go with how your feeling , good, bad, sad, mad .

Enjoy the good days i thought it was complete b******t and i used to get quite angry when people said "Your dad will always be with you" but now i know that is so true, death can not erase the love i have for him EVER or the memories i shared with him.

Take care of yourself.

Shiny,

It is so ironic that you posted on my diary at that time. I had just finished reading through my first diary, which was so surreal.

I relapsed 35 days before celebrating a year free from gambling. At nine months I had paid off all debt, which I think was five or six months short of my predicted target. At 100 days I no longer worried about debt or suffered from any mental torture that I currently endure. That was me. I was doing what I want to do now. I have the benefit of knowing that I can achieve this by doing what I did before and that is simply not gambling and focussing only on the amazing benefits that that brings to my life every day.

I am down at the moment there is no doubt about that and I know that I must shake this off.

Tomorrow I am going to get right back in the swing of things. I am going to start running again and going to boxing. The secret is to do something each day that makes you feel good about yourself and if you accumulate these days you soon stop worrying about the things in your life that are troublesome but rather focus on all the good that you are doing.

A problem that I have and need to find a solution to is that when I sit on this computer and type away I feel committed and optimistic my problem lies when I am not sat here. My work are giving me a fancy new phone tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to log on to this site whenever the need presents itself. Crawling into modern times.

I hope things are going as well as can be expected for you and I thank you for helping me when you have so much on your plate.

Tomso.

Hey Shiny,

First of all thank you for your encouraging words on my diary. You are right, addiction is addiction and it's not even worth running away from it. Just learn to live with it.

You are such a great person, and i wish you all the best....you come back strong, and it must be still hard for you, but days, weeks and months passes, it will get easier.

My thoughts still with you, and i really appreciate your support and understanding.

Take care Shiny
