Day 212
Thanks Ade for your support.
Under a bit of pressure at the moment.
Our financial situation is tight at the moment which is a sad product of my gambling binges.
Carrying around guilt at the moment which is making me feel down.
I've not posted much recently on other members' diaries but will do so soon when i have some free time.
On a positive note, i know that i won't gamble.
Gazza.
Fella, I know one thing for sure my friend, without the courage you showed in arresting your addiction, still at it whatever financial difficulties you are experiencing would be far worse my friend.
Just for today keep making that choice.
Duncs stepping forward never back.
