My Journey

Hi Diary,

Day 16

Steve.....not quite sure I believe you are normally more reserved.....You wrote like an expert!!!

Back to work today..........Why is it when you have a week off people just wait for you to get back.....1 med chicken for sunday roast...To feed 10.

Lots of other things left for me.....OH well chin up and soldier on......Guess we are used to that.

Had a couple of moments yesterday......Fleeting thoughts but thats where they stayed. Cards back at work now safely in my locker. I know in my heart I will not gamble but I feel safer with the blocks I have in place.

Have been reading a few diarys and there are some guys and gals really going through it at the moment. I wish I could just make their pain go away. Guess Im lucky because im an optimist and believe think happy and this is what you will be.......Works sometimes.......Doesnt others.

Sue....trying forever to be optimistic!!

XXXXX

ps. EDITED to add...........I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW...just come on the radio...Wow..If words ever meant so much these do...Am tingling from top to bottom!!!

You're doing great Sue, 1 chicken (med) between 10, wow! Even Jesus would have found it hard to perform that miracle. 16 days is huge, that first month, 40-50 days is very testing so the fact you're still going strong shows you have a strong character. Keep going Sue, keep strong and always remember, remember you're a womble. Sorry, couldn't resist it, Steve.

Thanks for the post Steve.......Shhhhhhhh was my nickname when i was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay younger......Congratulations on remembering.......... lolxx

Hey womble...

Just a quick message to say thanks. Really getting some good strength from reading yours and other peoples dairies on here, makes me know I'm not alone and there's light at the end.

Awwww Thank you RT89

Looked for your diary and couldn't find???????????

Everyone is here for each other...may I suggest that you start one if you feel up to it?

It was my life line

Have a think about it...I couldn't reccomend highly enough.

Will be looking out for you!

Thanks sue. Ill probably start one..

I'm just getting to grips with what I have in front of me (telling family, clearing debt etc)..

If I was to make a dairy I just don't think it would make sense, so much daft feelings going through my head!

Hey doesn't matter how much sense it makes....It's your diary!

I would of saved myself thousands if I had done it when I found this site!

Please.........just do it!

Least you know you have 1 follower.

It helps so much to get things down in words.

Sue xxxxxxx

Still reading through yours, amazing how strong you are!

From the stuff with husband then partner to now the gambling, really seem like such a strong lady!

Ill get round to making a dairy ASAP. I hope to stick to it and get to know a few guys on here so we can support each other, especially people like you!

You brought a lump to my throat then.........

The thing that I have concluded from from all this is compulsive gamblers are such good people.........Wait till you start your diary....You will see how much people care.....

Tapppin foot now.........Signing off for tonight ...expect to see 1st entry from you tomorrow when I log on.
