Taking responsibility of my life

Shelly

A man is in recovery right? Why don't you leave him alone and let him get on with it. Your new relationship obviously cut deep and he is trying to put his life together.

Soul was being supportive and looking at the positives to concentrate on himself. Yes he has hurt you, but he deserves a chance to work on his future.

screwball, take it easy man and keep making the right choice

day at a time

I'm sure our children will really enjoy reading this- this forum is for help not insults.

Thought this be a safe place to air our minds and thoughts and support our fellow gamblers and yeah apparently not all that any more.

I'm sorry screwball and didn't by no means know I would be stepping on toes. I just call em like I see em and hope in no way harms any effort you put forth on this journey. Congrats.on your gamble free days.

Morning all, brokensole I understand your comments where ment for me, to see this as something positive and to keep moving on, but you are talking about the women I love I never stood up for her when we where together but feel i should do now, she is as welcome here as any other user, just because she never did the gambling she was part of it and needs help in her own recovery. I don't want my dairy to turn into anymore of a slanging match so pls all draw the line in it and let's hope we all have a better, safe day today

Once again I'm sorry and had no ideal what i was walking into here. I by no means meant to offend you and if i did I'm sorry.

Well as Sunday draws to a close I'm glad to see the back of it, this morning was hard bombard with text told that I have failed and much more, it got me thinking but the thoughts I had where not good ones, I know deep down it's only cos I'm angry, but does anger make you think and say hurtful stuff or does it just let you vent what you really think?

Back to work in the morning that will help refocus my mind and hopefully stop all my random thoughts, I know what I need to do but part of me if saying different, maybe I'll just write them down and throw a dart to make my choice.

I found a diary back upon page 25 of the forum,it may be of some help to you,I have bumped it back to page one.

Regards Duncs.

Foul, foul, foul this is a adult matter and children should be sheltered from this sort of thing and not involved. Sorry you had to see all this and I meant no harm to your mother in anyway. I had no ideal of the people that were involved in this situation and answered as i would I guess to anyone on this forum. Yes things may have gotten out of hand and that's all water under the bridge. But no screwball shouldn't have to look at updates of your mother and boyfriend on this forum and nothing more than rubbing salt in a wound. Maybe It's was intended to be all that and don't know. But yeah a little human dignity and discretion goes along way in this world and wouldn't hurt to be used here.

Sorry screwball for another rant but yes a proper one. Congrats on your days and heads up.

I have no idea what was said this morning and guess I will never know, but my thoughts this morning are thos of choice, we all have the right to make choices today my choice is to get up and go to work, to make myself a better person by not gambling, not wasting time reliving my past but looking forward to what is next.

Duncs, I am sure one day I will bring myself to re- read my first journey on this site, but feel it has far to much history for me to handle right now, a day at time

To all that read my thoughts have a good & safe day you had the choice to read it, if what you read is not for you then feel free to keep on reading others and find the ones you do like and help them.

morning Chris

fella the purpose of my bringing up your thread was an act of what I saw as one of support.

Fella you went through a great deal and as far as I am concerned put in a fair effort,it is plain to see on that diary,it is in black and white.

That diary was a diary of recovery

I want you to return to that place,nothing more nothing less,fella we all make mistakes in life,it is how we learn from them,you should be proud of that thread,not scared.

I read the posts on saturday,all in my mind taken out of context,a simple error of judgement,nothing personal was aimed at any named individual to which any offence the honorable soul more than appologised for.

There is no room for taking sides,we all have a place here.

RECOVERY is surely the most important thing.

Me I stand by everyones side.

Keep making the right choice

Abstain and maintain.

Duncs stepping forward never back.

Hi screwball

Well done for making the right choice today

Your post comes across very positive and strong

One. Day at a time making that choice to live in the real world is so much better than living in the self destructive world of gambling

Keep strong determined. And keep posting it definitely helps

Before I start I would like to thank all that have posted on here in a positive way it has helped, It feels great when others say well done it makes me see that I can over come this, I woke up this morning in a positive mood and today has been a good day, no real lows that make me want to just give up on life, no real highs to make it all seam right, but today I did not gamble, no lies, no half truths, just a normal day in most peoples lives, but for me and most on here a good day to remember and look forward to more of the same tomorrow.

Hi screwball,

Normal. Now that's a good word. "Look forward". Now that's even better!! Keep stepping forward S.B. One day at a time!
