I am stronger than I thought!

Happiness will never come to those who don't appreciate what they already have....

You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to things you don't want to feel.

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, or makes you happy!

1. Make peace with your past so it doesn't spoil your present.

2. What others think of you is none of your business.

3. Time heals almost everything.

4.You are responsible for your own happiness.

5. Don't compare your life with others, everyone has their own struggles.

6. Stop thinking too much, it's alright not to know all the answers.

7.Smile, you don't have to carry the weight of your problems alone.

When you feel like you can't go any further, just know that the strength which carried you this far will take you the rest of the way!

Choices, Chances,changes

You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change.

I am strong because I know my weaknesses. I'm alive because I'm a fighter.I am wise because I've been foolish. I laugh because I've known sadness and I love because I know it can all be taken away in a second!

Thanks all xx

Well I really have lost all motivation 4 posting on my diary atm. I feel like I have nothing 2 say...Maybe it is a good thing!

Tho right now, I am feeling like I am heading 4 a slip... I am feeling like I do b4 I normally mess up telling myself £20 won't hurt and I can walk away, even tho I know the truth!

I am really trying 2 stay strong this time!

Music and quotes have got me thru some really dark times in the past, so I thought I would post some on my diary that make me think of my gambling so I can read thru them and get some inspiration!

I NEED 2 shake these urges and stay strong!

I hope everyone is ok xx

Charlotte.

I hope that your inspiring quotes help in you finding resolve to beat that urge. You are so right in what you post.

"just twenty quid and walk away will hurt"

My dear friend you did win because you did stop!!!

My advice if you have a spare twenty quid go treat yourself or that daughter of yours.

A reward for abstinence.

Take great heart in your honesty.

Stay strong you can do this, no you are doing it.

Just for today.

Duncs stepping forward never back.

hi lovely charlotte

Hi Charlotte, I feel the same as you do about my diary, I don't often have much to say but feel I need to log-in and say something every day. If you are coping maybe pop on every 4-5 days just to post and let us all know you are keeping well, that's what I might do.

I feel like a gamble every day but I must also try not to be broken but I know what you mean these temptations are awfully tempting. If you feel like you might be tempted just make sure you don't have access to a large amount of money a small slip is better than a big one but I know you can stay strong.

Hang in there.

Your friend Andy (Wilsy)
