Hi Castle,

What a great post to read, i can just imagine your daughters big beaming smile and how that makes you feel , how that gives you the determination to not go there again 🙂

I'm smiling just thinking about how you felt and i hope you hold that close

Thanks for your post on mine , yeah footie pretty good but went the Wigan game and what a waste of time 🙁

So expensive now so only getting to a few games , next one for me is the Stoke game as the tickets were only £20 lol lol

Hope you have a great bet free weekend

Smiling Lucy

Hi Castle,

Thank you. You know I have always admired you. A very intelligent person. A loving father. You have the strength to see this through. I must spread my wings. I feel brave. I will read your diary with much interest whenever I look at this site. Best wishes, you're a good man. Take care. Ian.

Well done to you and more so the apple of your eye.

Duncs stepping forward never back

Off today so will be able to spend some quality time with my daughter , with football now can really take it or leave it and today will be a leave it day , would always bet on the live matches and av that tingle of excitement of the possibility of winning , lookin back now though all I was doin was throwing myself into my own little world and not giving my daughter the attention she deserves

Not sure what we are doin yet but no doubt she will av plenty of ideas and I will only be too happy to share them with her

Decree nisi will be confirmed this Tuesday in court and will be six weeks one day after that when the decree absolute comes through , ex has been ok just hope hopes there no mention of the 270 quid that should av been said last pay day , but she held on to a letter for 3 weeks so given that the decree nisi would av come through before last pay and that's the line I will calmly go down somehow I av a feeling its not goin to be the last of it , but for now I can't control that when I can I will

Today is today and I will enjoy it with my daughter

Whenever I read your posts Castle, I'm left feeling just what a good man you are. Hardworking, caring, supportive. You inspire people in many different ways. One good thing about this site is that you read about people like you. It would be easy at times to give up and leap head first back into the world of gambling but its people like you and others who take away that sense of struggling isolation and self pity and replace it with strength and conviction. I haven't felt like or needed a bet now in quite a while and partly it's down to the inspiration of people like yourself whilst relating to their journey.

Continue to be strong, Castle. Be proud.

Had the most fantastic day yesterday ended up goin to Sherwood Forrest , daughter loved it loads of little rides for her to go on , did loads of walkin climbed trees well she did !not with my knee ! For me just to see her little face so excited and enjoyin herself and for me to see that means everything to me

I av mentioned to my daughter about my gamblin , didn't go into much detail but got the main points across , its amazin though what they remembered as yesterday there was a little arcade and she wanted to av a play so got her a pound of 2 ps to play with after a while she just turned round and said don't worry daddy it won't become a problem for me

She really is my true inspiration and every reason never to gamble again

brilliant Castle...xx

If you like forests....Google "Go Ape" as that could be your next challenge...lol
