Long time no post for me...just came on here and wanted to check on your journal among some others. Good to see/hear you are doing the right things brother.

Nice last mail from you. A couple of things came to my mind after reading it. Hope you don't mind me saying:
1) The comment about the grotty flat. Times are tough for you right now. You will rise from this like a phoenix from the ashes (as they say). Well done for sticking with the program.
2) Your many selfless acts (living closeby and putting up with lower standard of living, being there at the drop of a hat to look after your kids and ex etc....) will likely have no effect on getting things back together. What they might do is help you to make amends to those whom you have hurt. That will help you and your recovery. Sorry to sound a bit of a pessimist here. I'm trying to be realistic. You sound like a good auld sod. Just hope that you are looking out for yourself too.

hi wp,
thanks again for your posts and support.
sorry to read that the children have been poorly, and hope that they are all recovering well.
I am proud of you - the only way you can prove that you have changed and can be relied on is to keep doing what you are doing - actions speak louder than words !!
To say things have been tough for you is an understatement - but you have given it your all, and i really hope that those who matter the most to you, can see and appreciate how much effort you have put in.
speak to you soon

Hi wp, you are now the saviour of your family as well as us all on the diaries! You probably won't get that trust back, but you may get the respect that you deserve. I know you will cherish these opportunities. All the best russ
Many thanks my friends...got a wee bit time to post...wee one having 40 winks....ex still not well so been busy round there....even knocked back some overtime...need money but family comes 1st ....this time last year I would been losing hundreds anyway...keep fighting my friends this can be done,today I haven't bet tomorrow I won't bet,we can do this !!! 🙂
Good timley post mate. How badly would all of us normally be feeling this time of year!!!??
Beginning of December last year I won £2K within a week and then lost all of that and had not much left by the following week!! What a fool.......like you say, this time last year loosing hundreds!
How good does it feel not to be in that situation this year!?
Well done to you winning post! Stay strong!!
And the fight goes on.
One that we will all WIN!
Well done mate, and keep it up.

Gd luck in your recovery winning line. I agree with the family comes first as I don't think we realise just how much we actually need them sometimes. I like your mantra of today I haven't bet and tomorrow I won't.. Quite catchy really. Stay strong and keep looking at the positives. Gd luck in your recovery. ODAAT Keep smiling 🙂
Hi wp.. yes we can do this.. strength in numbers.. onwards and forwards.. a day at a time.. S.A

hi wp,
thanks for your continued support and advice on my diary - its been a troubelsome and trying time recently, but i haven't gave in (came close though)
I totally understand how much being involved with your family again means to you - (even if its not in the best of circumstances) and what a joy it must be to be relied on again - i hope you can build on it wp, i really do.
take care,
tommi
