Thank u 4 all ur kind words and support on my diary 🙂

7 wks gamble free 2day 🙂

This attempt at stoping gambling feels sooo different, I am sooo determined 2 stay strong and gamble free this time. I am learning 2 appreciate the small things in life, when I was gambling I never realised how much they meant. My baby is 1 2moro, this yr as gone sooo fast it feels like only yesterday, I held her 4 the first time. Because I made a choice 2 stop gambling, I was able 2 buy her some gr8 presents and I am going 2 try and bake a cake 2day lol and 2moro I can enjoy her special day and party. B4 when gambling the only thing on my mind was when I could next play the machine not nemore and it feels good 🙂

2day I am proud of myself, 2day I am sooo happy and 2day I am smiling. I feel content and I am enjoying my life. No thoughts of gambling!

I hope everyone as a gr8 day x

I'm so glad things are going well for you. Your making the right choice and your sticking to it with all your worth. Happy birthday to your daughter. Have a great day. It must have been great buying her loads of treats knowing you can because your no longer gambling. Keep enjoying all life has to offer and again have a great day oh and hope the baking went well. Id love a slice thanks.

Hi Char,

Thanks for taking the time to post on my diary offering support and encouragement. Well done on 7 weeks, I wish i could have been more like you and got straight back into recovery after a slip, would have saved me a lot of time, money and heartache.

Enjoy your day with your daughter 🙂
