Hey Bear

Sorry to hear you had a lapse. The important thing is that you have stopped it becoming a relapse.

When you said about this horse being a cert, I think you and the rest of us onn here, know the only cert is if we take it a day at a time and say "no gambling today" then we can truly be certain that we will lose no money to gambling.

Take care and remain motivated to continue your journey for yourself and your family.

Hi Bear,

It is good to see you back and fighting! ! There is nothing else we can do, get bk up, dust ourselves down and carry on fighting the good fight.

Be kind to urself, kind wishes to you and your family.

Take care

Sorry for taking so long to offer my heartfelt congrats on the birth of your baby. And also sorry to hear of your recent slip but glad you are turning the focus back onto your family.

"And don't spend your time lookin' around

for something you want that can't be found.

When you find out you can live without it

and go along not thinkin' about it

I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you."

- Baloo (the Bear from Jungle Book)

Belated congratulations on the birth of your little son, and also congratulations on your renewed resolve to put the slip behind you.

I read this the other day: "The light can only shine in darkness." Keep going towards the light.

Thinking of you today mr bear. Digging myself out at the moment as well so do understand how difficult it can be but so worth it as you well know from your recent achievements before baby bear arrived. You can do it again and summer will bring happiness and many a teddy bears picnic in the sunshine.

And I am also thinking of you.... I think you'll feel better after you tell your gf. She may feel angry at first but it will be a relief to you and hopefully, she'll appreciate your honesty. Best to you!
