Bear i took my baby out for lunch to the other day and had such a great day. I like reading that you're spending time with family much better than looking at a Bookies terminal hey mate :).

Hi casino loser just have got to know yourself also I don't treat gambling as a big no no it's there and if I slip I try again and keep trying a slip is not the end of the world as long as you learn by it I will always be a gambler just learning to live with it is the key, day 76 no gambling today.

fella there is no such thing as a cert for us, learn your lesson and well done for your honesty.
Put the grand to bed, a very harsh lesson indeed.
the solution to temporary financial problems will not be found in a punt, my advice view your loss as lucky, because I can imagine if that horse won today you may have gone back at it in full.
Duncs stepping forward never back.
Thanks duncs the grand is a harsh lesson but feel a whole lot different this time in the past would have wanted to get money back it's not going to happen its gone but learnt from previous episodes onwards and upwards....

Hi Bear,
As you know it's what you do now, that counts more than what you have done. I always think about what I have lost in financial terms but that was not the reason for me trying to work on abstinence I think I realized what a total a** hole I had become due to gambling. Everyone was affected and yet I was unaware of the damage I was doing I was consumed with the financial loss. I am six months without a bet tomorrow. But it is a battle some days I want nothing more than a bet I just pray I stay on this route. Gambling has ruined enough of my life I just have to fight it on a daily basis.
