Hey Char
Thats a great post, the one common goal we all have is to attain abstinance from gambling and your going to get there I have no doubt.
You should be really proud of your achievements on here your helping so many others at the same time as working hard at your own recovery.
Florida sounds like a great goal to set yourself, just imagine the immense amount of satisfaction as you board the plane and realise your hard work has got you there??
Take care my friend and stay strong 🙂

hey char
thanks for the post tonight, it was greatly needed. i too hope that flaggs get together will go ahead cos it would be nice to put a face to the tough courageous battling young women i have come to know over the last few months, and to buy you a strawberry cider instead of accepting a choc milk as my marathon will be over by then.
good also to hear that you had a good day with the family and you may be heading to florida
remember though not to put too much pressure on yourself
today we did not gamble

Morning Charl,
Great post yesterday and as G so rightly says no pressure. Get today right and tomorrow will follow. I think Florida is a wonderful thing to look forward to and I know the strength and resolve is there within you to get there.
Have a great week,
Flagg
Hey Charlotte

hey charl...good to see your sifting the wheat from the chaff there with your list...
Guessing your on chat ..gonna call you Oprah..the chat queen..lol
keep posting...fingers crossed for snow for Maddison..xx..
I love that quote. Sums it up nicely I think! I'm sure there is a page on facebook called "inspirational quotes and stuff" or something like that. Some are cheesy, but some good pearls of wisdom too : )
You are doing fab! I'm so glad you are noticing how far you have come, and the progress you have made - very often people don't remember to celebrate the things they are doing well
I was a wee bit sad reading how you said you hadn't posted anything on dottys thread incase you said the wrong thing. I have felt that before in life, I guess its a common one that most people have felt at one time or another, but it really sucks to feel that way : ( I can't remember ever thinking you say the wrong thing, I don't think its something you tend to do Char.
You are a lovely person inside and out, and I have never found you anything other than caring and sincere.
Take care,

Char,
Thankyou so much for taking the time to offer me some much needed support the other night. I really appreciated your message. I am back on track now, which I am so happy about.
Jealous of you going to Florida later this year. My wife and I went to Miami a few years ago and loved it.
