Charl,

Just a quick note to say I appreciate your kind words on my diary. I see you are experiencing a world of different emotions today and I wish you well. You are a kind person with a good heart and have become a very important member of this forum.

I am really feeling like I wanna gamble 2nite, I have stayed strong all day. But now Maddison is asleep and I have the chance to go and play the machine it's tempting . I wrote earlier on my diary that I am thinking of moving away from this forum and going solo. I will still use chat of course that is something I find sooo useful on this journey. But after a few wise words from G and a few ppl here 4 now I will stick around. I hope in the nr future 2 move away from this site and 2 be able 2 be strong enough 2 stay gamble free alone. Maybe I am just being inpatient lol

Ahh well I am gonna catch up on a few diaries see if that will take my mind of these urges!

Well I was gonna catch up on some diaries, but honestly my hearts not really in it. So I'm signing off. Have a gr8 nite all xx

Charl try to be gentle with yourself you have had a hard day allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling but remember gambling is only a temporary escape. You have come so far and I know how determined you are. So remain strong and tomorow you will be extremely proud and happy with what you have achieved. You have the check in tomorow on the 90 day thread I know you will remain strong. Take it easy tonight hun . Take good care

Keep going Charlotte, I have just been reading some of this and your story is brilliant, you have done so well.

Thanks for your post on my diary too.

Stay strong,

Need 2 write this on my diary 2 look back on... I made it thru some strong urges 2nite and I feel really happy with myself... I feel soo proud 🙂

I had a really long chat with my bf 2nite and he was telling me how much I have changed since I stopped gambling, he says I am much happier and always smiling. He also told me 2nite how proud he was of me 4 carrying on with this journey when the old me would have ran away. I still have my moments but after 2nite and his support I am gonna continue this journey. I am getting stronger and this is gonna be my final attempt at quitting and I WILL stay strong 🙂

2nite instead of gambling, I talked 2 my bf about how I was feeling this is a first 4 me really... I never normally do this .... It was always easier to run 2 the machine.

Well 2day was a tough day but it also made me realise how many amazing friends I have and how gr8 my family are. 2nite I could have spent hours in front of a machine but instead I snuggled in2 my bf and we talked and watched a film and what made it even better is Maddison was wide awake so we got 2 give her lots of cuddles (she is soooo cute). I realised 2nite just how lucky I am and instead of gambling I spent time with the most important ppl in my life. That is soooo much more rewarding than gambling and it's priceless.

And 2day made me realise that time is sooo precious. We only get one life and we have 2 make the most of it, and I intend 2. So I am back feeling strong, positive and determined. Still gamble free 🙂

Sorry 4 the ramble, but need 2 get my thoughts down 4 me!

Time 4 some sleep I think, nite all x
