Dear Diary,

I am back from my hollibobs. I have had a nice rest and ready to face the world of Gamcare again. I don't regret walking away and while I have been on a little bit, I needed that time. Some people are quite happy to bring you down with them, when they are sinking. But my choice is to keep afloat and swim towards the shore.

This last two weeks have been productive. Went and saw the GP last week, about my on-going feeling of blahness....I have set on a course to change that. I have been offered a really great job, which I have accepted and just need my references and police checks to go through. I have learned a lot about the important people in my life. Some people come into your life at the time that you need them, and move on again to pursue their own dreams.

Beautiful weather here in the North West, am making the most of it. Will get around to catching up with people's diaries this week.

Julie glad to see your doing well.

I really understand your feelings of people dragging people down.

I have poured my heart into some posts and you have always replied and shared your views.

Its nice because the way you write things you acknowledge the other persons feelings and the effect your post may have on them.

Even if there is a difference in opinion.

some people however just lack the ability to be happy for others.

I am very suprised on such a supportive environment that this negativity exists.

i have been i. The receiving end, and have often thought of comments for days and days.

No one should tell a person how to live there life. Even if that person has made mistakes or has issues. There is a difference in sharing and making bold statements.

all I will say is dont let them bring you down. This is your life and your life only!!

You always picked me up in posts and have missed your input.

Wishing you all the best!!

Split!

Dear Diary,

Been a while. I was so sad for reading another posters diary last night, I walked around work today, reflecting on life and gambling addiction and how messed up things can be some times.

My life seems to have settled. Not complacent, not taking a back seat on my journey, but I am 1-2-3 (123 days) gamble free today...As easy as 1-2-3 eh! As if, every day I get up, I try and change it up.....I don't always meet my target everyday, but I do better than i did the day before.

All is well and all will be well.

Hi Julie

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement on my diary, means a lot.

125 days today for you, that is a nice sounding number. The days are clocking up nicely and hopefully with it life is clearer and you feel more content.

Keep going, fully behind you.

Dear diary,

There is a very fine line between life and death. I happened upon an Road Traffic Accident on the way home from shopping this evening. One thing and another delayed me leaving town, so I happened upon it. I gave CPR and basic life support to the poor man, but even with the amazing services of the paramedics and air ambulance, I don't think the ending was a happy one. There is a very fine line between living and dying.

In regards to Gamcare, I have decided that it is not for me. I will still mooch around reading and the likes but it isn't for me anymore. I have discovered today that when people are challenged about their behaviour, and they don't like what they are reading, or it doesn't sit well, they have comments removed, so it is highly edited and controlled, of what people can see. That is not what I am about. I speak the truth, try and be kind and take it on the chin if I am in the wrong. I try not to look down on anyone, judge anyone, and see where most people are coming from. What I cannot stand in life is pretence, people pretending to be something they are not, or championing an opinion, when clearly that doesn't align to who they really are. My time is precious and I have no wish to sit and be fed nonsense and then when one queries this, the query is dismissed and banished never to be seen again. I won't be surprised if this post goes missing, like the few that have gone missing, but I thought I would put it out there.

Laters.

Good Morning Julie,

A some what sad post. Your so right about the thin line, a revolving doors of sorts.

Agreed on the 2nd part, Gamcare can be frustrating with some of there editing or Houdini posts, but hai ho, we make mistakes and Gamcare make mistakes. It use to pi..as me right off, still does sometimes but when you press send your words don't belong to you anymore as they drift into cyber space.

I humbly think you pisdibly need to rethink wherher your time with Gamcare has finished. I've noticed your repour with others and some wise words being duly delivered. Albeit, despite being a quality sometimes I think you should be putting you first. Either way, good luck amigo

Morning Julie,

Thank you for your kind words on my diary.

I can completely relate to your post about GC above and the forum at times can be difficult to say the least.

I will not say goodbye as i know we communicate outside GC.

Take care and best wishes
