Hi Charlotte,
I just wanted to thank-you for your posts to me over the past couple of days. It means alot to hear from folks when we're feeling low. I really appreciate people like you and will look forward to reading and writing to you in the future. We can do this a day at time. Take Care, joanxxx
Hi Charlotte and well doen on your gambling free time. I hope your enjoying your busy weekend and keeping happy. Warm regards.. S.A 🙂
Thanks all xx
I had a gr8 day 2day me and my sister went shopping and I spent money that I had got 4 Christmas instead of feeding it 2 the fruit machines... well I spent most of it on Maddison :)... I bought her a new coat and some little boots.... they r sooo cute!!
She is not 2 keen on the boots tho, she keeps taking them off 🙂
Me and my sister went 4 lunch and it was good 2 catch up, lots of laughs and smiles there was no stress no thoughts of gambling!
I feel like I am getting stronger day by day, things that use 2 bother me no longer do small steps but I hope this time I will be able 2 stay strong and gamble free..... I am gonna try my best!
I am starting 2 believe in myself and I never thought I would say that, I am feeling really positive atm 🙂
I hope everyone is ok xx
lovely charlotte
that is great to read your last post, i know you really want to beat this illness or addiction or journey which ever you feel most comfortable with using, you put so much effort in to this not just for yourself but maddison and your family too, and then there is the great help you give everyone on here even though you are battling yourself.we have had slips and glad to say come back but you seem to get stronger and stronger for it and i really hope that 2013 the start of a new year is your mini motivation to push on.
i may hold you to the making of choc milk when the training really gets tough lol
have great evening

Hi charlotte
Nothing makes me happier to read posts like ur last one full of strength and positivity , talking bout ur family esp Maddison warms my heart so much , jess now 8 and is obsessed with shoes think she must av bout ten to fifteen pairs already ! Something as a male I dont understand lol jess picked a little award in assembly so was real pleased for her and thank u for asking
No surprise there though u av such a caring considerate side to u as well as an amazing inner strength to keep stepping forward
So proud of u its a pleasure to know u

Morning Char
What a lovely positive post its great to see you spending time with people and enjoying spending some of your hard earned cash on something that means so much to you.
Its amazing the further we get away from our last bet that we are able to enjoy these special times that previously we wouldnt have considered the importance of.
Hope you have a nice relaxing time today and get some rest before the new week that lay ahead.

Thanks all xx
I have had a gr8 day 2day had a roast dinner at my parents, went 4 a long walk with my bf and Maddison... It was sooo cold, but it was really nice 2 just chat and reflect on some things... We have a lot of good things planned this yr and hopefully we r gonna go away 2 Florida with my family, which gives me an even bigger reason 2 stay gamble free and not waste nemore money on a machine!
I am still not putting 2 much pressure on myself, one day at a time.... I have a lot of good things in my life and I am starting 2 realise that... I am getting stronger day by day and I am happy!
I have worked hard on this journey, I have been close at times 2 giving it up... But I never want gambling 2 effect Maddison and this is the reason that I will continue fighting, I will hold my head high and be proud of wot I have achieved and wot I am achieving.... I will not lose my focus of y I am here.. I read this quote 2day and it is sooooo true!!
There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
I have made some gr8 friends on this journey and I thank u all 4 keeping me strong 🙂
We can all do this.... Everyday we do not gamble is a better 1!
I hope everyone is ok xx
