Hugs.....Posh Womble......xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Charl it seems like things are good for you and you are happy I am pleased because you deserve all the best things in life. You are an inspiration x

hi Hun..

Thank you for posting and thinking about me...and yes ..going to make sure me and dot are going to stay together ...

I'm being honest with folk around me and my bf and the problem is that he wants me 'over this" but I cant fast track it...

So timing is everything really Charlotte ...but I don't know who or what i'm going to turn into...and like you folks on here I am changing every day.

You always say the right things and always really think about people and their lives...you always put so much thought into your posts hun....

I am pleased as punch that you are doing so well and love hearing about Maddison..such a lovely name too... and unique.

Im guessing you have some bank holiday plans ...I nearly forgot it was a holiday and had work penned in...lol

onwards we go lovely all on the same path up and up..

big hugs and thinks to you....

hi charlotte

Hi Charlotte, just flyin by and thought id say hi, I hope all is well with you, all ok over here, stayin gamble free, some days are easier than others, but i guess you know that anyway!!

take good care of yourself and stay positive, im finding keeping very busy really helps, though as you have a little girl im sure you are anyway. My daughter is 10, and is keeping me occupied constantly, especially as her mum is working in the uk at the moment. Shes a bit of a tomboy so at least i dont have to play makeup!!! tho i did used to play a mean game of dolly teaparty when she was little lol 🙂

Will check in again XXX

Charlotte.

For some reason I was hanging out to grab your 1000th post but as I don't fret about numbers today number 996 will do me fine, charlotte I hope you feel proud of your recovery because you really should be, you bring this forum alive with your constant drive and determination to beat the thing that threatens to devistate so many folks lives, you keep making that choice just for today, keep inspiring and being inspired.

I for one will take so much from your input.

Duncs stepping forward never back

Hi Lotte, thanks for the post, I am the most scattiest person I know, I forget and lose everything, it's so annoying at times.

Really glad everything is ok with you. I still read your diary, I love how you value your time with Maddison. Your Grandfather's letters were such a sweet thought and spoke volumes about the warmth and consideration of the man. Above all else I admire the way you've turned your life round.

Take care Charlotte19, just a thought but when you turn twenty will you change your name too. It's these insignificant ponderings which keep me awake at night.

Keep smiling, Steve.

Thank you for your post on mine Charlotte, I truly hope and pray that I can do it this time.

If all it took for me to be rid of this evil was the support, goos vibes, and well wishes from my friends on here, then it would not be a problem. If I could bottle all the support and take just a teaspoonful every day then Id be the healthiest person here 🙂

Oh if only it were that simple, but I am gonna dig deep, stay focused, and keep reading the site, and given time I shall one day be free to be myself again.

Thank you again little one, you truly are one of lifes best.

Take care

Cameron

Thank u all 4 ur kind words and support on my diary. It means alot 🙂

Lol Steve, I hope u slept ok :)..... I tried 2 change my name b4 2 just Charlotte but the user name was already taken! My 20th bday is on the 4th Jan so I will most probably update my name then. I hope when I turn 20 that I will still be gamble free and enjoying life as much as I am right now 🙂

Maddison is 1 on the 29th August, my little baby 1 this yr as flew by, blink and it's gone. She is my world she makes me smile every day. We r planning her bday party.. my bf as hired a bouncy castle he is sooo excited... I think it's more 4 him and his m8's 2 jump on. Sometimes it's like having 2 kids lol 🙂 I hope the weather is nice on the day!

Stopping gambling is the best decision I made, looking back I have had a few slips and it's not been easy sometimes it's been a real battle. But I hope by making this choice when I did, Maddison will never be affected by my gambling and I can give her the most important thing and stopping gambling as made me realise it's not money it's time. I will be there 4 my little girl not in front of a fruit machine spending hours chasing money.... This makes me soooooooo determined 2 stay gamble free. I can do this!

No gambling thoughts, I am still content and still gamble free 🙂

Hope everyone as a gr8 day x

Thanks for your post this morning Charlotte, was a bit down and really needed it! 🙂 You are doing fantastic! You're absolutely right! Keep your gaze steady on the light in that little one's eyes. Have a great day hun. joanxx
