my betting diary

Finished work today back at flat when flickin through tv channels find channel 4 racing.....happy to say it's not top proirity these days and switch between that,rugby league and that programme wi jeff stelling (why edit my other programme i named it seems we not allowed to mention where planes fly)did notice however 2 odds on shots turned over,some things never change ...... can't help but notice the "bank holiday newbies" doing so well, I may be paranoid but find it an amazing coincidence they all seem to log on at the same times roughly and seem very professional in there quests...anyways keep fighting folks,today I won't bet tomorrow I won't bet we can do this folks...

HI wp,just read your last post on Ade's diary,and i'm confused,i can't see anything offensive that you've posted on his diary.....or anything offensive he's posted on yours,unless i'm missing something ?.Keep up the good work mate,you post such a lot of good advice,i've certainly not seen anything on any diary that you've posted that would offend me.

Seano.

Hi Post, I too was surprised by your comment on another diary--you are never offensive to anybody mate just totally supportive as far as I am concerned and without your input this site would be a poorer place and more people would fail in their quests to stop because of the inspiration that they would miss from you.

With regards to the rush of newbies at certain times. Hopefully they are genuine but even if they are all not-some are-and remember we all started at the bottom on here, so try to help the ones that sound straight but ignore the ones that initially do not would be my advice mate.

Keep up the cracking work you do on here pal

All the best

5 months ago today i sunk to an all time low and needed a change of direction in my life.it was then that i found these diaries and whilst knowing nothing about computers (still dont and they scare me bigtime) i took it upon myself to start a diary.

despite not being computer friendly i have managed to keep a dailly log.one thing i have learned is that there are many "hackers" out there who could possibly steel your i.d or worse.whilst this is not the norm i do find it disturbing.

in april a bogus diary started up and from then on i have questioned myself is this diary safe ???

last weekend i went over the top on a diary and have also questioned myself all this week whether i have become "too big for my boots" and arrogant for the diaries.this proved to be 2 very restless and uncomfortable nights on saturday and sunday.i have never been the most literate of persons and maybe my writing comes across the wrong way at times but basically i have grown to hate gambling with a passion and dont want it to ruin others' lives like it has mine.

whilst being bet free for the 5 months i have managed to avoid the big festivals and was involved in the cheltenham controversy which i found helped my recovery rather than affect it.

i have had a bad week on the relationship front,having mentioned the mortgage going up and asking for help all i got was a mouthful and that its all my fault for the trouble im in.i mentioned selling the house as i couldnt afford the extra payments but the reply of putting my kids on the street put paid to that and that is something i would never do.i even got a text saying "why dont i have a bet".that text actually lifted my spirits as it shows not only am i winning my personal fight on the gambling front but our tiny squabbles as well,think she running oot of ammunition with statements like that lol.i have stated before i dont know how she does it with house,full time job,2 kids and 2 dogs and that 2 hands are better than one yet i dont seem to be getting anywhere.even mentioned how much easier it could be with me not wasting my hard earned cash on this flat (which sometimes i feel isnt fit enough for a dog lol) in that them bairns could benefit big time.

this is the longest i havent posted since joining the diaries and to all my friends,especially the ones who have noted my absence this week it is very much heart warming and appreciated and so after carefully considering my future i am happy to say i will be around for a wee while longer yet hopfully to continue in encouraging others in their quests.

this is proving to be one of my biggest challenges in life but i am determined to beat it and with your help and understanding i aim to do just that.

sorry for the long post normal service HAS resumed "even from a mobile" 151 days and counting,today i wont bet tomorrow i wont bet,we can do this folks 😉

wp,....151 days gamble free,great achievement,well done!!!.....,sorry to read you have had a tough week relationship wise,and i hope you can get back on track with that soon.

I understand your concerns re the forum,i'm sure though that most of us are real people (i know Stumper is because we have spoken on the phone).....,this is your diary wp,use it to help yourself and any others you trust,ignore those you feel wary of.

Glad your back!!!,.

Seano.

Toys and prams being reunited always bring a smile to my face.

As somebody who tries to count to ten but usually gets as far as on.. before I lose it I can well understand how things can easily be upsetting for anybody.

In a chat I had with Seano the other day we talked about a lot of cg's wearing their hearts on their sleeves. I think many of us tend to be over sensitive--although personally I think it better to be that way than just a cold person.

Great to have you back mate---one thing I hope that was you that posted as the grammar is far better than normal and does not contain any of those normal 'jock' phrases--or am I being paranoid.

Hi wp!

First of all don't say sorry for the long post, its an inspiration for people wanting to get to the point where you are at in your recovery.

5 Months is such an achievement so congratulations on that! One thing that i find quite inspirational about your recovery is that you've probably not had the easiest ride whilst trying to quit at the same time. I think its hard enought just giving up gambling despite family pressures and financial pressure etc etc. I respect you for just bouncing back, its all to easy to give up and break under the pressure as i have done all too many times but you've stuck at it. Also nice to see your realising thay you as a person are pretty much past this terrible addicition and that you are able to move on with your life.

A fantastic post and i can only hope that you do stay around to help people because i think sometimes you need to see what the end results are and what can be achieved.

Well done mate
