Free styling is good.
I know im a broken record but I think the whole world is corrupt and the gambling industry is just one of many cogs. It's all S****e!
Recovery is serious, addiction dehumanise people , but deep in there somewhere the good guy remains blinded by the shi.te, values and perception lost. Yet, for me I struggle in the belief that life should be serious. We're all stars in our very own Trueman show....free style back at you
Responsible gambling not sure I've ever tried that.
Responsible and gambaling
Chalk and cheese
Red and brown sauce
Jedward
Me and salad
None of the above should be in one sentence
I don't think I have ever come across how it's promoted is it that little placard behind the toilet door or us it those leaflets hidden behind the coffee machine?
I'm starting to like a bit of free style we've created something paul
D and g? It doesn't take much to confuse me...it was only that I'd seen your post before the name change that I know who you are! Are u going to let us know what it stands for? I've no doubt the others will be along soon with a few choice guesses 🙂
Anyway, thanks for the post. Unfortunately you were a bit premature and need to knock off the zeros. Back to day 1. Will update my diary soon, but too naffed off to do it now. Nothing changes, if nothing changes eh?
Really good to see you doing so well. You've taken some huge strides recently and I've been cheering you on from afar. Good to have you here and posting x
Dean and Gerri or Dean and gambling I was sure it meant Dolce and Gabbana. I do have other in mind but don't want the Admin police on me.
Drambuie and gin

Lovely to see the jolly deano back causing havoc !
Go ask ktf about his self checks. ..I've been told to mind my own business....deeply hurt ; ) lol x

Have no idea what you are wittering on about (I point blank refuse to watch anything with zombies) but you raised a smile!
Thank you! I'll try to do my swimming before licking the plate clean 😉
Who the f**k is Bella !
Is that a name change as well ?
Lol ok...I'll shut up then !
Shame my big brothers are so far up country. ....on Saturday night I could do with a couple doormen ..could just imagine you ....mart. ..al and balvoooo.....be like the blues brother's lol
I hear what you're saying about the challenge and day counting. I'm not sure if I came off because somewhere deep down I knew where I was heading (the idea of a session had been floating around in my head for a while) or whether coming off made me unaccountable and gave me the green light. Challenge or no challenge, I'm happy to be walking beside you and I was genuinely touched that you'd remembered the 100 days and dropped by. Not for the first time you've made me fess up when I've thought about quietly disappearing, so thanks for that.
And D and G....I was sure it was David and Goliath and we all know how that turned out Dave 🙂
Since I'm not one of those annoying people who insist everyone else listens to my music (why do such people always have such bad taste?) I wandered to the end of the platform to press play...Had to switch it off when the guard started walking towards me (well, it's not exactly the sort of song one can listen to without chucking a few shapes - hope I had nothing to do with the train being delayed)!
Even with the clouds, there really is a blue sky here & the sun is most definitely shining (I should know, I'm wearing sunglasses)...Something I know I would never have noticed not that long ago! Something that now makes me smile 🙂
Cheers for the support mate. Appreciated. Best wishes with your battle too.
Something I'm learning to say is no. Nobody questions someone who says yes. And that yes is how I've remained all but hidden for a long time. Not hidden bit no one questions what your doing when your giving them a yes to everything they want.
It was a way I could rationalise gambaling in my head. Well they have what they want so I can have what I like. Or word's I used was its my only vice I work hard all week I deserve it. I don't drink or smoke. I don't go to the pub all night like some guys. Physically I was at home but mentally I've probably spent more time away from home than the guy who spends his evening propping the bar up till he's physically turfed out. That's what addiction does makes you believe it's your best freind and the next punt is the one where you say to everyone I told you I could do it. I don't know who I had to prove it to. Probably myself.
Since letting everyone in on the big secret life has become a lot easier. I haven't had an urge since. And I feel kind of proud
Before it felt dirty to say I have a gambaling problem. But now I can look people in the eye and say it. What they think doesn't matter if they judge me so be it.
If you let your wall down. It's surprising how many people will actually let there's down to.
With my money I prove where everything is going when I get given money for a sandwich or hair cuts or tool's. I don't have to but I want to. I want to prove to my biggest critic. me that with the right work I can overcome gambaling addiction
The receipts and such really does help.
My wife sent me a message the day after my relapse it said. Don't let a bad yesterday ruin a good today.
Good words to live by
