My hard earned money will not be given to gambling industry any more.

It belongs to me and my loved ones.

Goal is to have a holiday either taken or booked and sorted by this time next year.

Yeah!

Welcome to the diaries Elizabeth. Please pass on my best wishes to Charles on his 70th birthday.

You are certainly in the right place and it is good that you have had the courage, wisdom and understanding to seek help. We can all empathise with the situation you find yourself in and can offer you support, advice and encouragement. We are all different but are fighting the same battle. I like to think of myself on the recovery road with my gamcare brothers and sisters alongside me. We are all trying to overcome an insidious addiction that destroys lives. It is not easy by any means but many on the diaries have gone for long periods without gambling.

I recommend you read the 3rd post on the recovery diaries titled "Want to DO something? >Read This!<" I believe it is very informative. Wishing you every success ...stephen

Watched Scotland beat Albania 4 -0. Few wines. Would normally be followed by a visit to the casino where I would lose my money, spoiling the night.

Tonight, followed by Chicken tikka and delicious salad and plenty of money still in my purse. (Plus some put away for my holiday... it will happen!)

Genting casino , you're getting no more from me, you greedy immoral business!
