Carl mate alright you can be eminem but then we will have to swap over and you can be rhiana haha. Cheers for making me laugh mate I needed that. Onwards and upwards.
hi
well i have to say i have had couple of rough days but im fighting through them where as before i would have gone running of to the bookies, life seems to be so much easier tackling the tough times head on like i have said before this is a rollercoaster ride so i realise there has been and will be some highs also so all is not bad.
when i first started on here i thought i was the only one who was going through and i could only confide in myself as talking to "normal" people they just didnt understand what it feels like and what i was going through but now i know there is loads of NORMAL people here and between us we will come through the other end
i wish you all a pleasent evening
and remember gamble frees the way forward
carl (day 42)
P.s.
if anyone can locate womble or charlotte please let them know im thinking of them both and hope that they are well
Yo,
Thank you for your post . Like the way you post in italics ( think that's the word) gives you a uniqueness , which pops out at the reader as they glance down to read what you have written
Part of me is sad you had a couple of bad days , and part of me knows it's inevertable , cause then we build our strength in our recovery , proving to ourselves we can survive the good the bad and the ugly without reverting to old habits or gambling as a way to escape .
You should be proud today mate ,

Hi Carl
Shiny's right....be proud of how well you have done and also without gambling the future looks bright for you.
Sorry you've had a bad couple of days but I can relate to that....no-one said it would be easy because we have to change how we think. It is a battle worth fighting for and you are doing so well!
I always look out for your posts and all the support you offer to people....
Keep strong Carl....you can do this
