My Diary of Shame

There speaks a woman who is in a great place. Well done odaat you are a strong character despite the obvious temptations that pass your way due to your mothers gambling. Would be so easy to justify your gambling. I wish you continued success.

Am sure you wouldnt mind if it was tom hiddlestones armpit that was in your face!!! Lol.

Giving you an arm up. Your not on your own in recovery ODAAT. Tri x

Hi ODAAT, thanks for dropping by my diary, it's changed a lot since your last comment on there. I feel I should say sorry for not listening sooner, I let the addiction dictate to me for far too long and it did too much of a mental head f*** on me, but not any more! So thank you for your early support and sorry that I threw it away.

I'm glad that everything is going well for you and that you continue to make the right choices for you 🙂

Moring Kelly,

Spent quite a bit of time on your diary last night. Found your post #945 very honest and refreshing about how many of us have struggled to stop so many times but what have we really committed to recovery? It's certainly not easy but I'm telling myself if I can contribute even half of the time and effort I put into gambling everyday then I can stay gamble free. Slowly starting to change my mindset and habits, know I can never gamble again which is something when I've tried to stop in the past I've never quite accepted.

Your story is an inspiration to us CG's in early recovery.

Thank you.

I'm ok. Just how I'm feeling at the moment. Bit frustrated by things I cannot control. Working on acceptance and letting it go.

thanks for the ask ODAAT, meant a lot 🙂 Tri x

When urges to gamble escalate, kick Mr.Gamble down the escalator.

I like it.

Great concept...or GBH ODAAT.

Always a fine line.

Nice update, sure things could be a little better, overall delighted at how much things have improved in just a few months.

Enjoy your days off.

And post 1000 goes to me!!!.

Thanks for popping over to my diary. Your words mean a great deal and you have a fantastic knack of saying the right and honest thing at the right time.

Best wishes

Thank you for your kind words on Rylex is diary. I'm only doing all the things I have been advised on here from the likes of you and others. It started to work so why change it. I'm not gambling now so if nothing changes nothing changes and that means I won't be gambling.

Thanks again a pleasure as always to be walking alongside you.

Not happy Bal I had post 1000 previously I'll be having a word with Deano for deleting his account not sure it's just him who has gone but I'm still blaming him

Shoot, you think that's copyrighted :-0

Thanks for passing by,

I am fine. Well, actually, I have a very difficult and unpleasant situation happening (family) and it is ongoing, but it is not related to gambling. Unfortunately, I had a blowout in March, partly triggered by someone who kept talking to me about gambling and odds etc, so I broke my 15 month chain; however, although I did damage it was not fatal, and I am now back on track. I am more resigned than ever to the fact that I can't contral the red mist, much as I enjoy the games.

I see you are still doing well, and supporting others.

Cheers

Mm
