My Recovery Diary (last bet 22/04/06 )

good result then jim??

glad to hear that you are feeling better, and glad to hear that things are getting brighter

any more births imminent then??

Hi Jim, any time you feel like stripping(my walls hehehehe)I have plenty needs doing.

I like your idea Carol ann about the bubbles. I still have a bottle my grandson left here. Will defo give it a try!!

I have to admit will be glad when this week is over, been very stressful. So I found it very uplifting to read that although you have had stress you havent given in, a lesson for me to remember.

Keep strong. Joy

Havnt been able to get on this site for the last two days..I have really missed it.

No gambling over the weekend, just hard work, (zookeeping not stripping Joy..lol).

anyway.its time for tea so bye for now.

Jim (last bet 22/04/06)

Hi Jim, looks like you might have an alternative career to zookeeping ie stripping! Or should I say painting and decorating...!

Yeah, strange how lack of access to this site wasn't very nice! I too missed it. Good to hear that you're still doing well mate.

O

Hi olly

hope you are doing ok my friend.

I am still feeling and doing good at the moment. No problems or urges to gamble so all is ok.

Jim (last bet 22/04/06)

Hi Jim, just 'checking in'...all going OK?

O

Didn't have time to write on here last night as I took my wife out for a meal and a drink and came back a little worse for wear!

everything is still going good though and i am a little bit further away from that last bet.

I really do believe that the little daily reminders I get from reading and writing on this site are helping a lot. It helps to keep me focused on what I am doing and why I am doing it.

"Her indoors" Lol

I hope that my progress does help others, because that helps me too.

and as for "her indoors", I don't know where I would be without her, she has stuck by me through thick and thin. I owe her so much.

Jim

Have just read through your recovery diary and am so impressed with everything I have read (apart form the Torquay United bit LOL). Like the rest of us you have had it bad but we are all lucky now - because we are here. You have done brilliantly - is it now 117 days? Wish I was that far down the line. You have helped me a great deal by just reading yours - I now know that even in a few years time the danger is still there.

Well done Jim - enjoy the gamble free life - you have earnt the right

Best wishes

Hatch

thanks Hatch

You are right, we are the lucky ones..we have recognised that we have a problem and are doing something about it.

I wish you all the luck in the world and hope we are both here and gambling free for many years to come.

Jim (last bet 22/04/06)

Yep, Hatch is right again...! (he's a real find for the site, don't you agree?!)

Jim, you are the one in front of me on a dark lane, holding the torch...your strength builds the strength of others. Keep posting mate, we all need your inspiration - it's great to see that you're just a normal bloke, who has battled and battled and is finally making progres. Like Hatch says, a lot of us wish we were as far ahead as you are, but hell, we all look up to you.

Keep posting mate,

O

Jim

Like Olly says - you're leading the way - I am certainly watching, looking and following and having read your experiences it is certainly making the journey easier for myself!

Keep blasting a trail Jim - good on ya!

All the best

Hatch
