having a cr** day today.
will start with yesterday where i managed to get a mobile phone off ******* cheap ( i had to sell mine when i was gambling to cover bills) so i was happy as it also gave me a running tracking device aswell on it so saved myself some money. then today i been getting some aggro from one of my debtors who are doing all they can to try and scare me (texts, e-mails, phone calls threating baliffs) the usual kind of thing. this had made me want to run and not for my marathon training, i do know where the running would lead me so im not about to do that, im tired of running so im gonna sit and read a few diaries,remain calm and get through this cos thats what we do as cg's. im not gonna let a debtor ruin it for me or my family again.
anyway enough ranting
gamble frees the way forward

Hi Carl,
You're doing a great job hanging in there. You are such a tremendous support to sooo many others on this forum.. here is a big hand up and pat on the back for you friend! Hope your day gets better and better. -joanxx
Good evening Carl
Firstly thank you so much for your really supportive post on my diary...I cannot begin to tell you how welcome it was particularly after my recent mess!
You are doing so well Carl and I love your positivity in beating this battle...easy said than done but try and not let this situation get you down regarding your debts. The mere fact you have stopped gambing will, in time, make everything alright.
It might be a bit of a stressful road to get there with highs and lows but a road worth going down as we both know.
What can I say but thank you once again for the support you have given me and I know many others on here feel the same way.
Keep strong in your battle Carl...you should be proud of where you have got to already!
Take care
Forwards not back

Carl mate cheers for writing on my wall. I appreciate it. Onwards and upwards mate
Hey Carl
Thankls for taking the time to leave a supportive message on my diary mate, I really appreciate it especially after my recent slip.
Good on you having a little rant, these diaries are all about recovery warts and all. Those companies can be vile can't they with so much undue stress.
You are right to turn it into a positive though, they wont ruin your life again, you sound really determined so keep going!

day 76
well i must say this is a roller coaster ride cos today im back feeling good and sorted debtor out in my terms. that is due to me not having a bet and running away like i used to. every day i do not have a bet i become stronger and that is what is happening now.
anyway im off for my running training now so i will catch up on some diaries tomorrow night.
have a good evening all

Think I just nicked your 300 posts ,but then once again the italics were missing so maybe that last post on my thread was not from you ? Lol

Well today is day 77 for me.
Yes you heard right 11 whole weeks gamble free,I have to say I can only take part of the credit for reaching this part of the journey the rest goes to all my wonderful friends here on the diaries.
To any newbies the best bit of advice I can give is to keep the diaries close by.
Anyway tonight is a night off from training so may raise a glass of beer and salute you all to celebrate.
And yes shiny it is me even without the italics,trying to use phone instead of pc.
Take care
