my betting diary

Hi wp

Thanks for your post in my diary, I can't accept the fact I may be seen as inspirational and certainly not with folks like yourself, Stumper, SA and Jeff around. You are the genuine success stories and inspirations for the rest of us. Keep up the great work and the unrelenting support you give to the rest of us.

Thanks, Dave 🙂

Hi wp,

aw glad you had such a nice time with the little uns - I imagine they have noticed a massive change in Dad, all for the better. Hopefully you will continue to feel closer to them and genuinely bonding, without the distraction that gambling brought.

Thanks very much for your support to me, too. I had taken a few days away to shake myself up, but I wasn't away gambling thankfully. Ive upped the barriers, to keep myself safer.

Take care,

Hi wp

Some people on here are prone to the odd exageration but m8 im not having that.Watching toy story 10 million times lol.

Really kid it sounds like you had a great time.Im glad things are looking up for you.You deserve it .All the best Jeff.

Toy Story--if only life was like that modern day film---no strings attached.

A story about things with no brains who talk rubbish and do not seem to have any purpose--well enough about gamblers-did you enjoy the film??

Glad to see family life a little bit better at the moment pal.

All the best

Stumper

Toy story 2, the boys love it. Going to treat them to the new one once they have enough brownie points. There's nothing better than a bit of quality time with the kids. Good to hear things are looking up.

Hi wp,

Thanks for the post mate.

I must admit that i do see where Captain is coming from. I think that i would not receive the same support that i do if i was attempting to simply control my gambling as opposed to not gambling at all.

This is to be expected though as most people who post on my diary regularly are very much in the no gambling whatsoever corner as this is the way they are approaching their recovery.

I'm grateful for any support i receive whatever my circumstances. I would never consider you two faced mate. Just a decent honest bloke willing to give up his time to offer generous words of support to others.

Good to see you still doing so well wp.

Cheers for the post. A 7 iron around the head from the ex...that would be pretty painful, having said that I reckon a 3 iron would do more damage!! Is it a totally lost situation with your ex? Keep up the good work. Russ

Thanks for your excellent support my friends....I must admit I am very impressed with the attitude of some of the newer diaries of late though I'm finding it difficult to follow them,is it just me and this stupid phone or do a lot of diaries have the same names but wi different numbers lol ????? Anyways you are all doing brilliant as I say and keep up the excellent progress if any of you are reading this......stay positive it can be done...today I won't bet tomorrow I won't bet we can do this folks. 🙂

Hi Winningpost

Hi wp I do not get as much chance lately to post on everybodies diaries but I do keep an eye on what is going on, and I was pleased to read how well you are doing, you give great support to others and I wish you well in your recovery xxx

Hi Post,

Great to see that you ae continuing with your recovery. Good to hear that you enjoyed the golf as well. I watched Toy Story 2 with my nephews the other day and I thought it was great, although it was only the 2nd time i'd watched it not the 10 millionth!!

Stay Strong

I've been doing normal things this week. Seeing family. Walking dogs,gardening these alone have to be positive signs though I'm aware that could change at any time....last night I was told the wee ones got a rearanged hospital appointment for tomorrow and tues of next week...bit stressful getting time off at short notice but ive managed to cover half my shift tomorrow and catch the hospital appointment as well as take a leave day for Tuesday....I can just imagine it now, I can take leave for football,golf and my dads hospital but not my own bairns so I'm pleased at that....I'm now doin my bit for the environment as noticed some ancient bank statements had at least 6 pages,now I'm down to 1 lol...I wonder why? ? basic cash card is defo the way forward... Progress you better believe it 🙂 today I did not bet tomorrow I won't bet we can do this folks..

Hi wp.....or should i say "Mystic Meg"!!!,glad all is well and i'm really pleased that you have managed to get the time to go with your ex and the wee one to hospital,as you say if you hadn't you would have had a tough time,and that is the last thing you need right now.It made me smile when i read about your bank statements now being only one page for the month,i'm the same myself now,this time last year my statement used to come in a 2 stages as they couldn't cram it into one envelope.....madness when i look back on it.Keep up the good work mate.

Seano.
