Thanks everyone, ur kind words mean alot 🙂

I am 12 wks and 4 days gamble free now, I am so proud of myself and I'm enjoying spending time with the ppl that matter. I feel much stronger in myself now and like nething is possible. I will keep fighting 2 remain gamble free cus it is a much better life 🙂

I have spoke 2 some gr8 ppl on here and was lucky 2 meet a cpl of ppl from this site. U r all so supportive and without ppl here I would not be where I am 2day so thank u from the bottom of my heart 🙂

Maddison has been spoilt this Christmas and she keeps me Soooo busy it is hard work but so rewarding. I would not change it.

I would love 2 get round and thank u all individually, but I don't have much time atm. So I want 2 wish u all a happy Christmas, I hope u all have a gr8 time 🙂

Stay strong xx

Thanks everyone 4 ur kind words xx

13 wks and 4 days gamble free, I am proud of myself. One day at a time!

I don't have much time 2 post nemore but often read. When I posted often on this sight I always used 2 comment on the family and friends side where I thought I could help. I am saddened 2 read recent posts. This site is suppose 2 be about us supporting each other, not judging ne1 most of us come 2 this site in a mess looking 4 answers and help and that is on both sides. I think back after reading these posts 2 last yr when I was attacked and called names 4 no reason other than I supported ppl where I could back then I took it 2 heart now I see it 4 wot it was not everyone has the rite intentions here and I am stronger 2 that now. It doesn't bother me nemore, I will support where I can no matter wot ppl think of me. I feel that it is wrong 2 judge ne1 here none of us know or can feel the pain ne other is feeling. I feel this site should be equal and we should all support each other where we can.

Wanted 2 record this on my diary as I felt angry by some stuff I read yesterday. It takes a lot of strength 2 face this addiction and we should all be proud of wot were trying 2 achieve!

Stay strong everyone xx

My dear friend I wrote muchthe same.

Surely if it were a tug of war we should all be pulling against the addiction, not one another.

Great to read you are enjoying abstinence and it's rewards.

I am so very proud to share the journey.

Duncs stepping forward never back.

Charlotte, so pleased to see you doing so well, thank you for taking the time to post on my thread... My son is doing well ( not very well at the moment ! But nothing serious !!) I am so proud of him, but sometimes scared to say how well he is doing, when I read other posts, but I guess that is the mother in me !

You should be so very very proud of your achievements, take care and have a great New Year and 2014 ... Remember so many of us are proud of you xxx

Hi Charlotte,

Thanks for popping by and for all your support this year. 13 weeks is a massive achievement! The path has been a rocky one for most of us and you have shown that with real determination, patience, and hard work that gambling free periods are truly possible.

Your support for others on this site is incredible and to keep posting in a positive and supporting manner despite everything you have been through shows a real strength of character.

You have managed to do all of this whilst bringing up a young family, you should be extremely proud of yourself and I wish you all the very best for 2014. Day by day we get stronger and return to reality, day by day we fight the good fight.

Stay safe and strong

Paulds

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you for your words and support. You are right, it is easy to get too attached here, but if it is something what person likes, then why not? To help others is the best feeling ever, I have no family and long nightshift work lol.....make my spare time wisely spend...which is here at the mo.i am indeed slowing down lol...gasoline never goes forever and I need to hit a lay bay now and again.....just in a nicer manner than recently 🙂

I am very happy for my friend. Keep your recovery going and touch the base then have some time for yourself.

Happy 2014

Hugs hun - keep it up

Sandra xxx
