I am stronger than I thought!

hi charlotte,

carl

Hey Charlotte :),

Well sounds like you are on a real positive note and Your determination shines through like mine :). I can't believe you have over a 1000 posts but I know the reason and that is because you just support everyone on here and I don't know how you fit it all in and keep track of everyone but somehow you do and Your just a real inspiration and have helped so many on this.

Me included I know we all try help each other but you have a heart of diamond and an amazing soul and just keep that determination and You and your family will be fine Your little girl is so lucky to have a mum like you and I know you will always be there to support her in every way. And it is true not gambling will give you all the time in the world to watch her grow up and not miss a thing 🙂

Keep up the determination and I will see you completing that challenge with me and when you hit 20 you still be gamble free.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and I can't thank you enough for the continued support you show me and everyone on here

Take care

hi charlotte, so pleased to hear i put a smile on your face, its been a while since a 19 year girl has said that to me lol :-).

Have had a ramble on my diary, so if you wish to know a bit more about me nows your chance !!

if you do get to read it,please tell me if you think its a bit depressing,or to much info? if you do i will take it down. please be completely honest with me, i value your opinion and i can take it :-).

Hope you had a lovely day and are staying positive.

take care...mark XX

hi charlotte, thanks for the post!

as soon as i had posted my update i couldnt make out what it was i was feeling, hence the cry for help lol. i have to say, you have hit the nail on the head, vunerable! that is exactly it.maybe i have said to much, i wasnt sure, and im still not.

I really didnt want it to sound like a hardluck story, but if you changed the names and i read it, that is possibly what i would think. may be getting a little cynical in my old age 🙂

the last thing i want to do is put anyone on a downer, or give to much info away, i think i went a bit of tractrack as well.

I admire your honesty and your positive spin on things, i am a pretty positive person myself, always looking for the answer not the problem.

i must say you seem to have such a wise head on such young shoulders, im sure you will go far in life.

Mine and my familys health is all fine, nothing life threatning going on, just stuff you have to live with, but then we all have our crosses to bear!

im going to sleep on the post, if possible, and decide whether or not to leave it up. im just so unsure.

Thank you again for your time and support, it means a lot to me. my wife is soooo supportive as well and she is very proud of me. my kids dont know about this, and they never will, theres no need for it.

catch you soon, take care mate...mark x

bless you charlotte, i have huge respect for a womans opinion, i always find women have a great perspective on life. seeing as my wife is away at the moment and none of my female friends here know about my gambling problem (actually none of my friends do) you have made a perfect ally in this evenings dilema..

you have a great nite 2, im just enjoyin celeb BB !!

THANK YOU x

hi charlotte, thanks for the post 🙂

took my last post down, just felt it was the right thing to do, i think i maybe went of the gambling tangent a bit to much and would like to keep it to that. I do really appreciate your help and time with it yesterday though

I have been reading through your diary a bit today where poss, sounds like you have had a bit of a time of it with some people on here, but it looks like you have dealt with things in a grown up mature fashion so good for you. I for one will never judge any one on here, i really dont think thats the point of gamcare.

Hope you have had a lovely day, i am tryin to get my daughter interested in match of the day, but she just wants to style my hair whilst i watch, so now i have a beehive!!....women eh 🙂

take care of yourself and stay gambling free..you can do it.

Hey Charlotte,

Glad you enjoying the weekend and its nice you got a great bf who is very supportive its always nice to have someone in life who supports you so much. I am lucky to have my wife who is so supportive too. 🙂

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and keep going your doing great 🙂 x

Thanks 4 all ur support and kind words on my diary 🙂

I have been reflecting on my journey and it as not been an easy one but I just want 2 say thank u 4 all of ur support without this... I would have given up on this journey a long time back. I will not list names because I think we all help each other even if we don't support each other directly, just by us sharing our stories and the stress gambling causes helps others. This site is brilliant, I have said it b4 there really r some amazing ppl here who while dealing with their own problems help and support others 🙂

I have not always had it easy on this site, but I look back on this journey and I smile because I am now much stronger because of this, I handle things differently things that use 2 bother me really don't nemore. I have never lost sight of the person I really am and the reason I am here and that is 4 me 2 provide a better, stress free life 4 me and my family and that's all that matters.

I am off 2 my parents in a bit 2 sort out some things for Maddisons party and 4 a nice roast dinner. Then we r going 2 a fete 🙂

I really am content atm, I am enjoying life. No thoughts of gambling and it feels gr8 🙂

Hope everyone is ok x

Nice one Charlotte, it's always uplifting to hear others being content and happy, long may it continue for you and I'm really glad that this journey has made you a stronger, better, happier and more confident person.

Enjoy your spuds and gravy.

Steve
