new beginning

Hello CW,

I totally agree but I am on here to try harder. I have come a long way and I will achieve. I'm not giving up on Toad. I'm here long-term.

I believe in myself. I am a strong person and I have great qualities.
I just have a weakness with gambling. The rest of my life is great. I am happy but gambling can bring you down.

This Toad stands tall and his chest out. I'm as big as a bullfrog but I am Toad.

Goodnight everyone. I wish you well in recovery.

Tenacious Toad.

Morning Tadpoles,

Just on the bus heading to work. I had a light breakfast this morning. I am feeling much better today.

I have £10 in today but that has to do me till Friday. Todays goal is not to step inside the door of the bookies. I am confident I will achieve this goal.

No sign of my refund yet. I will have to be more patient.

Life is better when we don't gamble. Toad wishes you all a great day.

Toad.

Just as well no refund yet lol,

Have a good gambling free day, and keep that tenner for none destructive stuff.

Hello,

Going for a walk with a work collegue at lunch. It's important to put barriers in place. It's also good to replace the buzz of gambling with something else.

Okay thats Toad off his soap box,
Stay safe,

Tenacious Toad.

Hello Folks,

Made it safely at lunch with no gambling and I am delighted.

Stop backing horses.
Stop backing greyhounds.
Stop virtual racing.
Stop playing fobts.

NEVER STOP BELIEVING.

Happy Toad.

Hi Toad, I hadn't intended to post on your diary again however, having read some of the posts you have made on others diaries I am genuinly concerned for you. My concern is not over your gambling as by being on this forum you are seeking support. Unless your posts are just being made to goad people, I think that you need to look beyond this forum for further help. I am not qualified in the area but think that you should make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your issues. I think you may have a condition which is best served by a qualified professional. I do hope that you are able to access the right level of support through your local health service.

Toad , I can only mirror sb's post , I think your problem with gambling is just the tip and that there could be more underlying issues my friend .

Some of the post's youv'e made over the last day could be taken offensively , even if you did not intend them to be that way ?.

It may be in your interest to speak with your doctor regarding your issues with gambling as this forum can only help you so far along !.

Cheers for your support Toad much appreciated

Hi folks,

Thankyou for your comments. I can confirm that Toad is mentally and physically well. Toad has had a great day and no gambling.

Today is day 1. I hope Alan and Sbisstopping can draw strength from my posts. I am helping many people on this site and I wish to continue my good work.

The issues you both have leave you with clouded vision. Step outside and clear your eyes. You will see a happy Toad today. Please don't spoil the good progress i am making.

Toad.

Thankyou Oldham for your kind entry. You have helped me with my recovery. I do appreciate it.

Toad.

Hi toady - I genuinely hope you do make day 2, 3, 4, 5, ect etc gf then people may take your recovery serious. - wcid

Well done Toad...first building block in place. Stay vigilant tonight and best of luck tomorrow

I wish I didn't, but feel compelled to post.

Give the Toad a break, especially nasty posts like James. It's also just my humble but the majority of posters on this forum could do with some form of mental health intervention. It's a nasty sly addiction.

If you feel this is a P***s take, well learn to switch channels.

&Toad if this a P***s take, well more fool you. But my mind will stay open and I wish you well!

Evening toad,

Pleased to see you kept that tenner safe, :)) you can do this,
