Hi,

First of all thanks for following me and recently posting on my wall. I can relate to the fruit machine post, that was definitely my vice, so yes, we probably are very much alike. I will be honest I haven't been paying attention to other's posts... Maybe I should?...Thanks again I really appreciate your time...

I read an interesting piece on here about people giving advice freely but not being able to accept any themselves. Good point that whoever made it and I think in my previous attempts and even this journey I am guilty of it. Many times on here I see a post and totally disagree and don't post as I am not sure if an argument over a point of view is relevant to my not gambling which is what brought me here in the first place. Sometimes I just don't know what to do.

Me too, unfortunately it got to the point where my posts were giving me more grief than comfort.

Stay strong xx

Thank you am still reading and not gambling just not posting for a while

I remember the person i wanted to be when i was about 14 years old, pre gambling. I was suffering with anxiety back then i remember that being rooted at a very early age, most of my early memories are set against a backdrop of anxiety. All the lads had girlfriends but i was terrified of that so was a good FRIEND for people to talk to. I felt i was learning a lot and would be a great partner in the future as i knew what was upsetting or annoying couples so i thought i could avoid all that. I became what i said i wouldn't and i did what i said i would never do, i made things very bad for myself. I can still get back to being that person i wanted to be when i was 14 years old but i will have the baggage of memories of bad things i have done. If i could work out a way of turning that baggage from bad self hating thoughts to forgiving myself and avoiding making bad decisions i think that would help a great deal. Crack on.

Knowing who you want to be and where you want to go is a huge part of the equation!

Best Wishes

Alainepo,

I can very much relate to your post 28, i see similarities, battling similar issue's with the insiduos gambling addiction as unwanted company. I see the person behind your posts very much capable of dumping the unnecessary unwanted bagage from your old kit bag and being the person you know you are.

I do regret our set too yesterday. Hai ho, it happened, that was yesterday, todays today. Anger is one of the emotions we're born with, not one of the sh.....itty ones we pick up enroute through life and harnissed the right way can be a tool to release the baggage... Thats only my humble...

I will leave you with a song i like and sang from someone i fancy rotten...

Make the most of this gifted Sunday..
