sorry about the loss of the little angel,he was brave and he fighted till the end.
we compulsive gamblers always saying about the money we lost and what we have done to our lifes but we dont apreciate that god has given us a second chance to recover.other people are having real health problems and they dont have this second chance,such a pitty.
take care charlotte and keep strong!

Hi,
Just wanted to send you a hug , sorry to hear your sad news. I can only imagine how hard this must be for you all.
You are doing so well, keeping away from gambling, that takes sooooo much strength and determination. Not everyone would be able to do it under these circumstances.
Stay strong honey,
Dusty xxxxxxxxxx
Hi ,
That was good work on your part fighting off the urge. Some days can be incredibly tough. Believe me I know. And with that the urge almost unbearable . It takes a lot of strength especially at those times. Very proud of your good work. Whether its 10 or 20 or 1000 it's also our chance at something better than what we have that those machines claw from us as well.
You are doing great! Best wishes Charlotte
Chris
Just to say that thoughs are with you Charlotte and that you have done fantastic to keep those urges at bay with the sadness you must feel for your friend...
Try and get some rest hun..

Hey Charlotte,
Hope things are well for you sounds like you had a nice day. Like i said earlier i had a test like that yesterday just take enough money for drinks and no card and you shud be fine. Just remember the hard work you have done so far and have a good time with your friends if you think your going to gamble just buy a round of drinks instead. Have fun and stay strong
