It's the lovely George!!
Really pleased your staying focused and your keeping up with your running. I noticed you were having a bad day (on my diary) and I think that was because you had some free time...so I guess my advice is to try and keep yourself busy. Make plans to do things that you look forward to if you can. The bottom line is that you are doing so well and you have the chance to do all those positive things without gambling dragging you to the depths of despair.
Thanks also for your continuing support to me George (lol) because without people like you I might not be where I am now.
Take care

well way to go and just keep a running then. time far better spent thats for sure.
Yo,
Just read that you are going to take weekend breaks .
Can totally understand why , it can be difficult to find a balance with it all .
Enjoy your weekend , don't run yourself into the ground though lol
Shiny xxxxxx
thanks for the post carl,
Even if you are addicted to running its far better than gambling, it will keep you fit and focused and motivated.
Keep on running i say,.
Take care

Carl buddy it was nice to chat to you tonight at sh. onwards buddy
well
I know I said I was gonna take the weekend out and in some ways I wish I had,but the addictive nature I have led me to nip in briefly as had spare 10 mins before my run.
No gambling, or adders or bet addict whatever your calling yourself these days would be more apt to be kid2. I have never visited sh or feel the need to when I was at my lowest I found this site and met some great people who have assisted me through my journey, and I have no reason to leave.
When I thought you were genuine and needed help I was a bit naive and gave you my email to try and help but you just threw it back in my face, I am unaware what you have said by email or on here because I blocked you a while back, I am trying to fight an addiction and I don't need kids like yourself messing about, I hope you are very happy at sh and you don't treat the people there like you have some of the valued members of our site
Rant over
Carl
I read a post earlier from graham
Who I speak to in chat and think is a very wise man and it went along the lines of do not feed the troll
And that is something I will not be doing

Read the same post and totally agree. Time to forget about that (insert insult here), his got to be forgotten now. Although I did just read your post from yesterday and got wound up again. But tomorrow is a new week, another check in and time to move on. Well done for staying strong Carl, another weekend negotiated successfully. See you tomorrow at check in.
day 110
Again I have left my own diary to last and ran out of things to say
So well done gamcarers you all doing fantastic job
Some are fighting, some breezing along but we all putting in the effort to stay gamble free today
You cant change the past but can dictate the future
Carl
I just remembered that I got an email from a big bookie
Offering me a free 10 pound bet and I have to admit for a while I sat and stared at the email trying to convince myself that it would be fine and its free
So after ten mins or so I
Came to my senses and deleted the email and treated myself to a new firetrap winter coat cos I would have spent a lot more had I stumbled

hi carl thank you for the post on my diary
means alot, 🙂
I get what you mean about them emails when they no you haven't been on there site for a while they send you free £10's but in reality it wouldn't be free in the long run, we would get the taste for it and deposit, 100'S POUNDS LATER FEEL AWFUL!!
well done on resisting and treating yourself aswell its important to treat yourself i think 😉

Evening Mate,
I still get those offers too from time to time. I actually don't give them a second glance now but in reality I should just close account/unsubscribe and then I wouldn't get the offers. Easy when someone else highlights it I guess.
Great to see you ever moving forward and it's not a negative that you don't have much to say on your own diary. Sometimes life is just serene and words aren't needed.
Take Care Buddy,
