The cumulative effect of all these posts, and mine, all mean the same, which is that your friends here believe you can and will come through this.

Grief can be an awful thing, but at least the love that was shared by your Grandad with you in that letter removes the sting. I would put the inheritance in a secure long-notice account and leave it be, till when Madison and you really need it.

God bless.

Thanks doesn't seem enough really, I am soooo grateful 4 all ur lovely posts on my diary 2day. It really means alot. I have been feeling emotional and a bit down and I have not been feeling strong. 2nite when I logged on and read all the lovely posts that were left, it really did give me a boost and I needed that. Ur kind words have made me feel stronger and more determined 2 stay gamble free. So a huge thank u 2 u all 🙂

I have had a nice day 2day with my bf and little girl, just been out enjoying the sunshine. We took Maddison 2 the zoo 2day, she was happy and that makes me happy 🙂

Charlotte.

So glad to read that you are still gamble free and I know that your life is always going to improve now you are taking control,making the right decisions for you and your Maddison, it is so refreshing to read your diary, you seem to learn so much each time you have a bad day, you turn it round,be proud you really are doing something special.

Duncs stepping forward never back.

6 wks gamble free 2day, I got thru some really bad urges the last couple of wks. So I am really happy 2day that I am still gamble free. I feel even stronger and more determined 2 stay gamble free 🙂

I don't know how 2 post a song link I am not that technical lol.... But I think this Whitney Houston song sums up my journey so far... I have copied and pasted the lyrics (that's as technical as I get 🙂

I think all along I was stronger than I thought I was, without gambling I am much happier and gambling or chasing money is not constantly on my mind nemore. I am enjoying the small things in life and it's soooo much more rewarding than gambling!

"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"

Lost touch with my soul

I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go

Lost sight of my dream

Thought it would be the end of me

I thought I'd never make it through

I had no hope to hold on to

I, I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down and I tumbled but I did not crumble

I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength

Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up, hold my head up high

I was not built to break

I didn't know my own strength

Found hope in my heart

I found the light to life my way out of the dark

Found all that I need here inside of me

I thought I'd never find my way

I thought I'd never lift that weight

I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down and I tumbled but I did not crumble

I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength

Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up, hold my head up high

I was not built to break

I didn't know my own strength

There were so many times I wondered

How I'd get through the night

I thought I took all that I could take

I didn't know my own strength

And I crashed down and I tumbled but I did not crumble

I got through all the pain

I didn't know my own strength

My faith kept me alive

I picked myself back up, I hold my head up high

I was not built to break

I didn't know my own strength

I was not built to break, no, no

I got to know my own strength

Hi charlotte

Can see why that gives u so much inspiration some fantastic lyrics there , when the times are tough u can play that tune and the strength it will give u as u already know

Ur a real fighter and I draw some real strength from that
