Hi Bear.

So so pleased for you to read that you are now doing so well! What is it that has changed do you know?

Seems a bit strange for me counting days again and a little depressing to be honest but need to keep reminding myself that this was a lapse and not a total relapse and that I did clock up over 800 days (minus one day gambling way back). Need to keep this in mind, not focus too much on number of days but just focus on getting back to where I had got myself to.

Take care Bear and look after yourself and your family.

So after over 250 days of abstinence while my girlfriend on holiday I log in to my lottery account and spend £30 on scratch cards weird because never have before my addiction appeared and I fed it yep not my normal poison but it craved something so I gave in will take me a few days to re assess but will be back not happy but more educated have good weekend all x

Dear bear, please don't let this distract you from what you have achieved, no you are not happy, but as you say you are more educated.and even wiser, carry on my friend, you had a minny blip, and the result was the same, as before, gambling is a total waste of our lives, our families, our time and our money.

Keep strong and keep safe.

Yes Suzanne will destroy us without even a thought x

Bear.

Fella you know like I do that gambling in any format is for us totally unacceptable because one punt will never be enough.

From this episode enjoy your own honesty.

It's a quality recovery gifts.

Fella put the right blocks in place and move on.

Abstain and maintain

Duncs stepping forward never back.

Thanks to you all for your posts few days back on right track mood swings are in my head but just annoyed with myself happy Monday everyone x

Hey you have turned it round again, no good dwelling in the past, you have learnt a be it hard lesson, but dear bear you have learnt something else, and you are back and making those right choices again, keep looking forward my friend, it is still all there.
