Mornin charlotte

Well another eventful day yesterday and once again u handled urself impeccably and can hold ur head up high , once again u had to endure all the emotions and brought back old memories , why do this happen to u ? My only reasoning is jealousy u give so much support and receive so much back , u fight when times get tough u av relapsed and bounced back from it , to me that fills with me with pride and makes me so happy and guess to the other 99.9 % on here but from time to time some individual will come along and cannot compete with all u av achieved so therefore say hurtful things to try and discredit u

After some swaying backwards and forwards with staying here which was understandable with everything goin off u came to the right decision and I av no doubt u feel much stronger this morning

U av so much support and support is so important in ur recovery don't ever let one individual take that away from u ur so much the better person

Always as ever here for u

Hey ya

I'm glad to hear your staying :). Just stick your middle finger up to the haters and carry on fighting. I hope you had a lovely snuggle on the sofa with your little one last night, and your also feeling better. Enjoy your day.

Hi ya.... must admit I don't know whats been going on but i can see that you have been upset. But as others have said am glad that you are working through it and have decided to keep using the site for support.

I find with difficult people the ideal is just to ignore them. Don't give them any ammunition to react against. I was watching judge Judy the other day and the case was about a lady who was being harrased by her ex-partner. She'd taken out a restaining order but the ex was still contacting her by email etc. Her mistake was to reply and with expletives... it only encouraged more contact.

Anyway I think your a star. Thanks for your support. Regards.. S.A 🙂

Thanks all 4 ur support and kind words 🙂

1 wk gamble free 2day 🙂

I have been thinking a lot the last cpl of days, trying 2 work out y I have been singled out a cpl of times and I have no idea really, maybe I have been 2 honest on my diary and b4 my age was a prob 4 some1..... So I am gonna make some changes on my diary. The first 1 is I am changing my name ... I would like 2 be just Charlotte but that mbr name is already taken so I will just change my name slightly. The 2nd is I am gonna delete nething I have wrote on my diary that makes me vulnerable 4 ne1 2 pick up on and hopefully I will not have 2 go through this again.... I do not like ne conflict!

Neway enough of that 2day is a new day... I have had a gr8 day 2day me and my bf took Maddison 2 Santa's grotto, I have been soooo excited about taking her 2 see Santa but I was worried she mite cry but she was fine she was smiling she loved it 🙂 Then we looked round the christmas markets and then my brother met us with his two little ones and we went 2 the indoor play area.... Maddison had a gr8 time.... We enjoyed it 2 🙂

So much more rewarding than gambling!

I hope everyone is ok x

Charlotte, I dont really think you need to do that. That was just one pesky animal that was dealt with, there will be more no doubt. You are strong enough to deal with them? Just laugh at em?

Heh, seriosly, if you want a change then do change it. If it keeps you here then I am all for it, but I think it will take something away. This can only build up your confidence. And you have mounds of that.

Do not let one pesky fool ruin your amazingness! I mean it!

As you say, enough of that... Sorry, it makes me mad.

Ho, well anyway's have a wicked day Charlotte. you are awesome you know that!

hey Charlotte...

So glad to see you back here hun...I do know wht your saying there and I think it is a good idea to change your name as you say...

It should'nt have to be that way and you put your age in all innocence when you joined this site but I think if your name was something like charlotte62 certain people would not take advantage so much. Charlotte is just fine xx

I wouldnt change your posts though hun.unless you want to as thats your story and your recovery journey...

With the hassle you have had i think its been a case of rules of the schoolyard....when I was at school the boys who i found out later liked me the most were the ones who pulled my hair and called me names.....its form of attention seeking.

You are a very popular member of this site and on chat with both men and women all wanting to wish you well and be part of your journey...

For a person who lacks maturity like the recent chap ..bizarre provacation can be one way of attracting attention and for you to take note..but sadly for all the wrong reasons.

keep posting hun and protect you...all looking out for you xx

R and D xx

I've read your diary recently and it's a great tale which gives encouragement to newer members like myself...

I don't have all the information about what's happened recently but I hope it doesn't set you back. You've done remarkably well and I'd be pleased to have made the same progress as yourself!!!

Good luck with everything and well done for showing a mature attitude

Charlottex

I like that name,it ends with a kiss!!

something which could be a nice double edged sword in your quest!!

Firstly a Kiss goodbye to gambling!!!

Second a kind hearted,devoted to recovery and all it's benifits,a great big smack on the lips for today !! A day bettered by yesterdays choice!! No bet.

For me I am soo glad to see your spirit burn bright, for that be hugely proud.

As regards your diary,it's yours to do as suits your recovery best.

For us of course Inspiration.

duncs stepping forward never back.
