I am stronger than I thought!

Hey Charl,

Was just scrolling through your diary to see what all the fuss was about with this character and my advice is the same as everyone else completely ignore his comments.

This is Gamcare and I appreciate every bit of advice I get from others on here which is gambling related. We are all exactly the same in that we are CG's but take that out we are all individuals and I would be pretty hacked off if someone came on here and starting spouting rubbish about other areas of my life.

I think there are many valued members on here and there may come a time where I ask for advice on other issues as you may also but until then the only issue people should be talking about on your thread is gambling.

This has prob turned into a minor rant at Matty and I apologise Charl but seriously those opinions should have been kept to himself. The age you had your child is irrelevant and is totally unrelated to gambling. Our compulsion is an illness and if Matty really is seeking help here too, he would be wise to read many diaries and offer the correct support.

All that aside, Charl its great to see you are staying strong this week I truly believe that slip will make you stronger and more determined.

Keep going and keep being the positive supportive and valued member to this site 🙂

I've seen enough . I've read enough. And I've been around the block a few times. This Matty is a joke. It's an immature prank. Matty you can see who I am. Set your ignorant sights on me. I can see right through you. Get lost and get a life. I'm speaking for myself when I say you can use a good old fashion a-- whooping! You made a mistake. Go out now and try to do something good.

Good Morning Charlotte,

Just popped in to say 'have a great day!'

Keep Strong

Hi Charlotte,

Hope you managed to contact Gamcare Services and that you are feeling ok today.

I had a similar situation last year with a postee who hijacked my recovery dairy and decided to paraphrase huge sections of my words and argue them back at me.

Thankfully he didn't last long.

Take care hun.. keep strong and keep posting.

ps ..I somehow don't think this would happen if we were men.

Hi Charlotte,

I hope that you are okay. I've just been reading your diary. A few things really stand out. 1 That your daughter is your life and that you completely adore her. 2 That you are a great source of support and inspiration to so many people on this site. 3 And I only mention this because Mattycg2 seems obsessed with it - that you are incredibly switched on and have a maturity far beyond your years.

Mattycg2 you will find that this is a really supportive site. Start a diary and then people may CHOOSE to support you. You cannot and should not try and MAKE anybody help you. Lay off Charlotte. She doesn't deserve it and I'm sure could really do without it.

Charolette you are very mature. Matt maybe you should start ur own diary this is charolettes diary and she is maybe trying to keep a dignifed silence because she is very mature. She replied to you last night and woz nicer to you than she had to be

Wheres your maturity???

Can you not take no 4 an answer???

hi charolette

dont listen to people like that. he must not have the support of family and friends like you have and this is his way in dealing with that.

if people dont have anything good to say well dont say anything at all. this is a place to give people support. anything negative can make people relapse.

stay strong 🙂

Hi Charlotte

Lots of people post lots of things on everyone's diary. Some of it we like some of it we don't. What you should do is take from this forum what you need and disregard the rest. There is no right or wrong way to do this recovery although we always think the way we are doing it is the best. If someone posts something that rings true then it is worth reading if it doesn't then read it anyhow and keep it in mind. Never say never! What we don't want to do as addicts is hold resentments. Resentments lead to destructive behaviour. If Matty is honestly looking for help he will find it here. Some people take a little longer than others to get it, myself included. I used to get very angry with people on this site as I felt like an outsider. However once I srarted getting involved and supporting others I got the same back. Hope your recovery is going well and staying focused on one day at a time. In due course you will find the strength to look further ahead. Take care

PS Matty if you want help try contacting Gamcare as a starting point and go from there. Hope this helps.

Hey Char

Hope you are well today.. and enjoying your day!

Hi charlotte

Just caught up with everything am amazed by one idiot but not amazed by the support u av received , to use the word immature for the context of urself by someone who clearly fits that criteria is sheer ludicrous , one thinks jealousy springs to mind

Ur doin so well charlotte so don't let one individual spoil it for u , always remember we are ur family and here to support u and just like a father a mother or a sister we will protect to u

So if u still av the audacity to still be reading matty I hope the last twenty posts send a simple message to u

Go away ur not welcome upset charlotte u upset us

Take care so much thinkin of u
