Charl cheers for agreeing with me and speaking to me at sh yesterday I appreciate it. You are a fighter I think you made the right choice hun x
Just read shinys post on your diary charl soz shiny that you feel that way. I hope you are alright x
Hi Charlotte...
you know the word hun....
If you need to have a break then you must do that and you can always come back when you like or just read and not do chat.
I will miss you, but I also know that its worse just doing something to please others or out of guilt.
Take all the time you need hun
We shall all still be here popping in and out
hugs
R and D xx
G'mornin Charlotte,
I dont' have a clue what's up or what went down and maybe that's not important. I trust that you know when you need to get a little time away. I also trust that you will come back when things are right for you. You take care of yourself first darlin. Just one thing that I have learned about communication using email and texting. Sometimes inhibition and tone gets lost and it is easy to miscommunicate and even well meaning folks wind up sticking their feet in thier mouths from time to time -- probably like I am doing right now. lol. Oh well, that is just my lame attempt at saying -- I hope whatever got you down does not keep you away from the diaries too long. You are a very special person honey, and I just hate to see you sad. Here's a hug. - joanxxxxxxx
hi charlotte
im not sure what went on in chat(im assuming that is what got you down) all i can say is if you feel like you need a break then go for it girl, only you know what you need. you have helped lots of people myself included and its about time you put yourself first, what with a new job and a young child i think you are doing an amazing job and are years wiser than your age.
hopefully we will get a contribution from yourself once in a while and if we dont as long as you keep putting the determination i will be happy.
take care
gamble frees the way forward

Hi Charlotte
Just a pop in to offer my support to you...As I said you handled the difficult situation really well..I'm not so sure I would have had your paitence.
I respect that you want a bit of a break from this site and at any given time you will be welcomed back with open arms. I don't think you realise how many people you have helped and supported in your time on here. But you need to do what you need to do and Carl is so right when he says that you need to put yourself first.
You are amazing Charlotte
Take good care lovely

charl hun cheers for writing on my wall cheers for your tips and support and cheers for agreeing with me and speaking to me on sh yesterday evening. I appreciate it hope you are alright and well. Think you made the right choice a break is good eh hun. Take good care. x
Just 2 clarify-
No - I am not sure wot u mean tbh I have not agreed with nething, U know clearly how I feel about the events that have taken place. All I said was the forum is not the place 2 argue it is about supporting each other!
Neway, I don't normally single ppl out but Shiny ur post this morning really made me think. I am glad I am not alone with how I feel I am a real worrier and I h8 conflict and confrontation! I've seen several posts that thank u 4 ur help and support that u give others... U help soooo many ppl here with ur comforting words Shiny I just wanted 2 say u r inspirational and 2day u helped me more than u know đŸ™‚ xxxx
I could not really sleep last nite, I have been thinking about things alot 2day and something in Shiny's post made me think this morning.... The gr8 ppl on this site and their support have helped me get this far, this journey is about me and 4 once I am putting myself 1st I will continue to use this site cus it helps me and I don't wanna go back 2 a life of gambling!
When conflict happens I always run away always have, but I was spking 2 my bf 2nite and he said something that was very true he said u can't change other ppl's behaviour but u can change ur own..... So I am gonna be strong and this time I will not run away.... I am proud of myself 4 how far I have come... I am not perfect I am learning how 2 deal with things differently everyday..... But I am not giving up!!
Thank u 2 all of u that have posted on my diary 2day, u have all helped me stay strong and thank u G 4 ur kind email. It means alot xx
I'm really tired 2nite but will catch up on some diaries 2moro đŸ™‚
I hope everyone is ok x
Yippe x you will have made a lot of people smile from what you have posted here and i am so VERY proud of you!
I was upset too after chat because like you say it is about supporting people and it left me sad!
I admire your courage to say what you have in your post Charlotte and it just shows you how strong you have become and I am so pleased you are putting yourself first. Thank you also Shiny for your great post to Charlotte x

hi charlotte
i have to say good for you girl, it is time to stop running and it is also time to to put yourself first, number 1, numero uno, the 1. and that is what you now seem to be doing, you are totally right we are all here for one reason, and that is to help one another in any way we can to combat this disease on the rollercoaster journey it takes us. glad you are gonna stick around because its people like yourself i feed off and keep myself motivated, so heres a virtual wine/beer or whatever you drink and CHEERS. cos today we did not gamble. also i know a few off you are coming up to the end of flaggs challenge so i wouldnt want you missing out on those celebrations.
gamble frees the way forward my friend
carl
Thanks all xx
Maddison as got a cold, so me and my bf have been getting hardly ne sleep. I am sooooo tired. So not much 2 say 2nite except I am 13 wks gamble free 2day, almost 100 days đŸ™‚
I hope everyone is ok x
Hi Charlotte,
I have not read back that much but get the gist that somethingupset you in chat. Dont worry about whatever it was, we all have different personalities and different ways of beating things in life. You do what you think is best and I am sure the people in chat were only trying to get that across to you but how they percieve whats best for you. We are not here to judge and you have to make your own decisions.
Taking two months of here helped me as i didnt think about gambling, I had to get rid of the temptations first before I came back. Now back I feel much better and am starting to dig in again. When we come on here yes we instantly think about gambling, because its a non gambling forum, with this forum aside it helped me until i could now think about gambling and cope with it.
All I know is that you give huge support to people and contribute in any way you can, are high spirited so keep that way and will see you when you return.
