well just got back from yorkshire for new years
i not been about for a bit over the xmas period, but catch up when i can, i have to say when i logged on tonight to see how people are and whether they had good new years i was slighty disturbed with some peoples actions over last few days, this site is here to recover from a terrible addiction, and i have been helped greatly along the way.
im not gonna get drawn in to any discussions about the goings on recently from what i can make out
all i will say is thankyou to the people i have kept in contact with and believe/know are genuine
Hi Carl,
Thank u doesn't seem enough rite now but thank u sooo much 4 ur support thru the good times and the bad... It really means a lot 🙂

Think its cos its first time since I quit I will be going to a football match in fact even watching a whole match, I got on here for bit to read some diaries, and the urges pass while I realise it does me more harm than good
Hi Carl
Thanks for the post. I hope the urges went as quickly as they arrived overnight.
I'm sure you'll have a fab day!
Enjoy and stay strong!

Hello Mate,
I wouldn't recommend putting ourselves through torture too often as I honestly don't think we would resist. However, the occasional test of our resolve to measure our progress whether intentional or unintentional can be a good thing. A boost can be found in the strangest of places and by resisting yesterday you found that boost.
I might be wide of the mark but I will say it anyway those who are successful in arresting this addiction are the ones who are consistent. The ones who get their thoughts down daily or every couple of days. They keep gambling close, they don't lose sight of their problem and you fall into that category. You adopt the correct philosophy in my opinion and you thoroughly deserve happiness and content.
