Hi Winning,

I see you are still working your recovery and offering loads of support too........

you still using your moby and that teeny weeny screen? Laptop is a must when the funds allow!

I hope you don't mind me saying but I would like to praise you for your posts...not only on your own recovery diary but on others too. They come straight from the heart and they are 100% genuinely kind..............

your ex must have been mad to let go of you 🙂

Hi wp,

Thanks for your note on my diary, it made me chuckle the story about the champagne trip to Cheltenham. You were obviously a good customer lol.

I had a read of your story and you are doing great. 10 weeks is a great milestone and proves to yourself that you can do it.

Keep going and best of luck!

Post, is'nt different when you are not gambling that you notice things that you may not have taken any notice of in the old days of gambling, as you would have been to busy rushing to get a bet on a 3 legged nag running in a low grade seller at Brighton or somewhere else.

All the best---some of your posts I read on some diaries are little short of inspirational mate. Keep it up as I am sure that you are responsible for many turning away from their tortured lives of gambling.

Hi Winning,

You in the library again?

I hope you have a gamble free happy weekend. I agree with you about treating ourselves for being gamble free...off for some chocolate now 🙂

As always...thank you for thinking of me.

Hi wp,

Good to see you going strong mate.

Interesting last post from you. I think i am certainly guilty of becoming self-consumed with my own problems at times and thereby failing to notice the hardships others are suffering. A gambling problem can of course be overcome whereas some people have life long physical afflictions to contend with.

You are winning your personal battle wp and you are a huge inspiration to others. Top man.

Hey wp. No hard feelings for the post inmy diary. As I said before what I like about you is you say it straight. You can be firm but fair. That is why you inspire so many people on this sight.

Now.. I feel I should explain what I have been doing with my diary. My postings were designed to give an honest, no holes barred diary of what goes on in my head in my constant struggle to come to terms with my gambling addiction. I think anyone reading my diary would see my struggle and most likely pity me. The only thing I could have left out was amounts of money and bets placed. This is a requirement in GA but I have not heard it is a requirement on this site. Anyone reading it must see the deteriation and constant struggle. It may not be pretty but it is a real and honest account of the constant emotional turmoil that I have gone through in attempting to stop. By reading it back I saw the powerless in myself. Perhaps others will too, and who knows maybe someone who thinks controled gambling is a possibility will read my diary and decide against it?!

Hi wp,as usual thanks for the support,and thanks for the incisive posts on other diasries too,you are a great help to me mate and many others on the forum.I hope you have a good weekend wp.

Seano.

Hi wp.

Yes you are right there is no comment about Everton in my diary. Let's keep it that way eh!

I'm still in pain to be honest mate. How can they play like champions one week and chumps the next?

Maybe next season!
