Hey Charl,
Yes of course you can be part of the thread still. I haven't been able to update anything as they have removed the edit feature but hoping to get that sorted over the weekend.
Hope you have a great weekend 🙂

Thanks all xx
Well I have not really been reading or on chat much this wk..... This time it is taking me much longer 2 bounce back.... Maybe I will get back 2 my old self soon, but rite now I am struggling... I had the day off work 2day, took Maddison 2 the park and we went shopping... I had 2 keep busy cus the urges were really strong!
I have not gambled since last Sunday!
It feels like my life is falling apart atm and I am scared I will lose everything that is important 2 me!
I am not feeling down, I am just shutting all my thoughts out and keeping busy!
Neway sorry every1 4 the negative post!
I hope everyone is ok xx
Hi Charlotte,
I too am struggling with urges today, but, you know what? You and I both know that deep down inside we always come crawling home broke, and feeling like we let ourselves and the whole world down. It just is not worth it!!! I know it's hard. Like I said, I am feeling it too. What I do know, is that riding out the urges is possible and we will feel soooo much better for it. I'm gonna try to stay busy too. Stay strong -- you deserve every drop of happiness coming your way. You deserve all of it and it will happen WITHOUT gambling. Hugs and strrrrrrrrength Charlotte. -joanxxxx

Thanks all xx
I am having a few urges atm, so thought I'd update my diary as Maddison woke me up at stupid o clock lol
I have been trying 2 keep really busy this wknd, I had a day off on Friday so I took Maddison 2 the park and we went shopping. I got paid on Thursday so needed 2 keep busy.. I had 2 buy Maddison a soft toy in the Disney store, she picked it up and there was no way she was putting it down lol
Yesterday, I took Maddie 2 the aquarium, she loved it... she did not stop smiling 🙂
We had a gr8 day lots of laughs, smiles and fun.... It is soooo much more rewarding than gambling!
If I can stay strong 2day and I am really gonna fite these urges then I will be 1 wk gamble free, fingers crossed!
I hope everyone is ok xx
Well done Charlotte for the first week and gald you had a great day a the aquarium - perhaps when you get those urges give your daughter a huge hug anf feel the love - have a good day x
Keep up the good work Charlotte!! I have been having a helluva weekend this time around as well in terms of those !!@@##!!urges. As blondie said to me the other day; Regardless, deep down inside we already know that gambling never is and never was the answer. It just doesnt solve anything. Not even boredom because we eventually get bored of the bull sh it as well. One day at a time. One hour at a time. Whatever it takes, WE can do this together! Thanks as always for your supportive posts on my diary. It is what keeps me going some days. -joanxxxx
