Baysitting, holidays, time alone with the little one. It appears that you are slowly but surely building back that all important trust. Good for you wp, keep it. Russ
Hi post,
Thanks for your post and support as usual mate. I had a hard time of it with soccer saturday as well mate. Enjoy watching Donny result coming in but other aren't as interesting. Might take your advice and try golfing on sat afts when i'm off work. I try to get to Keepmoat as much as I can, but can't go every game because of work.
Great news and things seem loads more positive in regards to ex and kids mate. I'm rooting for it to continue for ya.
Stay Strong
Steve
wp,
Thanks for your continued support on my diary, it really helps.
Glad things are going well for you, and long may it continue.
hi wp,
Glad to see things are much improved with you and your ex, and that you are getting to spend much needed and wanted time with your family.
The road to recovery has some nice things waiting for us on it, and the journey can be well worth the effort.
Hope things continue to get better for you.
all the best

Thanks for posting wp,
My son and his family may be coming back here to live, so that thought has kinda taken my mind off hubbie's gambling for the minute! Hope all is well with you - take care of yourself and stay gamble free!
love, Lili x
Hi wp,
how you doing?? i see you have been having some quality time with the wee one thats great news.
I also saw that you look at the results of the matches and that is difficult for you? is that a bit like me reading the calories of a mars bar once i have eaten it? i think it might be! basicaly its pointless you dont need to know the results if your not gambling! its like luck you dont need luck if your not gambling. So fill that time slot when the results are on doing something less boring like putting the kettle on and making a sandwich!!
you are still doing a fantastic job with your own journey to recovery and by supporting everyone else!
do you still speak with stumper on the phone? i have met up with Maddie a few times and we support each other off the site too. Its good to have people who really understand and by getting to know her personally is an even greater bond i think we will be friends forever, i do hope stumper is ok?
take care and you are still on my stairway!!!!
love linda x x x
wp,
Thanks for the posts on my diary and glad to see that things for you are generally on the up. Like you, I find Sat afternoons very difficult at present - boring even. The scores at present don't really seem to matter cos there not on my coupon. However, me and you both know where that coupon will lead - pain, misery, debt, deceit and eventually financial ruin. So, I guess there are worse things in life than a little bit of boredom!
Keep it going mate.
All the best

Hi wp
Thanks for your post on my diary, glad life is improving for you, you certainly are putting a lot of effort into your recovery and supporting others!
take care mate, ands
Well done winningpost. Enjoy the match. It's good to give yourself a treat every now and then, rather than lining the pockets of the gambling industry fat cats.
HI wp, thanks for your posts, kind words, and support.
I hope that holiday happens for you and you end up somewhere nice (i am slightly jealous, i haven't had a holiday for over 14 years !!)
You are so supportive of others, and i think its time something good happens to you.......... fingers crossed !!
all the best

Hi wp, no way am I a bandit!! I'm sure my new positive outlook on life has played a part! Enjoy the football, it's great to enjoy the real things in life rather than a horrible habit that consumes everything. As for Greece, don't worry about it, you will be doing your bit to drag them out of their own debt crisis. They have had an all mighty binge since the introduction of the euro and are paying for it now. You are helping them!! Enjoy russ
Hi wp.
Thanks as ever for your posts.Glad to see your staying away from the urge of gambling.Fair play.
Enjoy the break mate, you deserve it.
Stay strong mate.
Viggo.
Thanks for the post fella. Phew, nothing gets past you! It was like the gods of gam care were looking down on me then! I appreciate that you have little to write on your diaries these days. Give me another 6 months and I'll probably be in the same boat. I guess the point I was making was more towards positive posting on other peoples diaries. You guys have done loads and loads of posting/ supporting over the last year and maybe now it's time for others to continue in the same vein? Like stumper said in a post, he's kind of said it all. It's good that you will always be keeping an eye on this site. As you say, we are always one bet away from disaster. You come across as a top bloke wp and I really wish you well for the future. All the best russ
