Found out about your sad feelings and have read a bit of your diary. Charlotte, you have not lost everything. It only feels like you have. You've only temporarily lost your way and you can find your way back... baby steps. It sounds like you have a beautiful daughter and she needs you. This nasty addiction messes with your mind and you are in twisted thinking mode at the moment. I have screwed up so many times and yes, it's hard to keep fighting the fight, but nobody here judges you. Praying for you! Come back.
What can I say charlotte, you have been through a lot on this website you have always helped other people on here and you have helped me a lot. I hope you come through this
All the best graeme
Just thinking of you and hoping you are safe and ok.

Hi Charlotte,
Sorry to hear you have been having such a tough time of things recently and thank you for all of the support you have ever given me. Please do come back when you are ready, take care. x
oh Charlotte
Please please let us all know you are alright and safe.
You gave me such strength when I was down with my son, you made me smile, you made me feel like a good Mum when I thought I had failed, you made me believe in a better life. Charlotte you have been an inspiration to many people - you gave me hope ... I want to give that back to you ... you so deserve it
Much love tonight and always Jax (your Gamcare mum ) much love xxx
Hey Charlotte, just been catching up with your diary and want to echo what everyone has said. Please come back and let us know you are ok, don't let this addiction beat you. Sometimes in life we have to go so low before we can rise up again - please look for the light in life and believe in yourself xxx
I have only logged on 2nite could not face it b4, all ur support and responses made me cry. I have had a tough couple of days. But I have not gambled 3 days gamble free which is a start.
I still feel really low, I have been trapped in the gambling bubble again, convincing myself I can control wot I spend. I have 2 face it, I can't gamble controlled and I never will be able 2.
I was close 2 losing my bf over gambling it takes so much from u. The lies I have told 2 gamble makes me feel low and such a bad person. I have now told my bf the full extent of my recent gambling spell and he has said he will support me.
Atm, this is such a struggle. I hope I have the strength 2 keep going and 2 stay strong this time. Cus my life with gambling in is destructive and pointless.
All of u on here r amazing, I could not keep going if I did not have ur support and advice. I know u all understand so thank u from the bottom of my heart.
The other nite I no longer wanted 2 be here that's the truth gambling almost destroyed me. But Duncan is rite that's a selfish way out so I'm gonna try and keep fighting day by day hopefully il get there.
I will catch up with all ur diaries, but rite now I'm not feeling strong enough sorry and thank u all again u have all given me hope xx

Hey Charlotte,
I am so relieved to hear that you are allright.Take it very easy and slow, don't turn back ...only look forward. You got your bf and your little angel daughter, you can do it and get out of this dark place.
Believe in yourself and when you ready just come back and prove that discusting addiction that you ARE much stronger than you thought! I know you ARE, you just need to believe it yourself.
Take care and look after yourself and ur loved ones

Hi Charlotte, I am also relieved that you're alright, though I'm sure you're still struggling emotionally. You are so courageous and I'm glad you're back. Man, we cg's can sure punish ourselves, can't we?!! Please try not to be so hard on yourself. I think our self criticism keeps us down and prevents us from doing the right things sometimes... certainly doesn't help anyway. Best to you!
Charlotte
I was so pleased to see your post and that you now have the support of your boyfriend, a problem shared is always a good start.
As you said take each day at a time and before you know those days will have added up to weeks and then months .....and so on ...
Take cake of yourself - sometimes you have to reach rock bottoms before you can move on and grow ... Believe in yourself, you can do it.
Have a great weekend
Much love
Jax
