Day 39 had our 20 week scan yesterday baby boy on the way fit and healthy which is main thing this little boy will have a dad that will give him all his time and financial security he needs not a loser who spends money on gambling blimey I'm pleased I woke up in time from the gambling mist I'm also making sure though I don't use drink or any other habit to keep me going its an easy way to go am fighting a few small thoughts but will get there for my little boy x

Keep focused mr.bear,your doing good.
Congrats on your forth coming new arrival,it really is a wake up call,more responsibilty etc.
I've got 2 young children,2 and 5,I'd hate for them to think of there dad as a loser,nipping this addiction in the bud is the only way.
They need all our attention and support,no room for gambling.
Keep strong my friend.

Hi
I went to see my GP and he gave me a low dose of anti depressants as I have never taken before was a bit scared but anxiety attacks seem to have fallen off in a major way. I will see how it goes from here but will update you.

Thanks dark place and michael yep would be great to hear how you get on never fancied anti depressants but if its a major help then I guess I would

All the hard work undone by a sick show of weakness. The red mist descended and has broken me again. Sorry mate. Feeling physically sick right now.
Hope you're well and coping with everything.

43 days is great Bear. Keep it going my friend. You're always on here posting and looking to draw strength from others.
Maybe that's where I went wrong. Maybe I thought I could make it without this site and only posting once a month but maybe I got it badly wrong. I'll think on that one. This site gives people the strength they need to see the error of their ways.
I'm back now and just need to start clocking up the months again. I will do it!!
