And another virtual HUG from me Cheryl! I'm so sorry things are so bad for you - am thinking of you and hope you're staying strong. It's a 'black time' I know .... there is a light at the end of the tunnel - things WILL get better. Hang on in there and chin up! Helen. X
add another hug from me 🙂
keep going Cheryl
continued abstinence
tri
Ty Suzanne, Helen and Tri for the cyberhugs much appreciated. Keep strong all of you. Things not looking too good my end.
If I get through the next few days I have no interest in ever gambling again and have all blocks in place should I become complacent. Ironic after 10 000s lost can't sort 150, I hasten to add not by gambling .Shutting the door after the horse has bolted comes to mind. So annoyed with myself.
Take care and best wishes

Hi Diary
Day 17, everything has changed, I have always believed in guardian angels as partners Mother died 6 months ago and my best friend the day before.
Partner had a significant lottery win, enough to pay some of the immediate debts. Gives me breathing space for a while to finish sorting DMP.
Not eve thought of gambling but have blocks in place if I become complacent.
Take care and best wishes

Hi Cheryl
Am so pleased that you have found a temporary solution to your money problems
Don't do what I did which was any extra money made me gamble more
Use this second chance to sort yourself out,I wished I had used my second third and fourth chance but I was invincible ( what a joke)
YOU WILL NEVER WIN BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER STOP
The only thing gambling will give you you is more misery and desperation that you have experienced recently
Stay strong keep posting and start winning and feel sane
Take care
Suzanne xx
Hi Cheryl
Glad you are doing well in your recovery and can sort out some money problems.
Sound advice from Suzanne about extra money and the urge to gamble more. It sounds like you have it under control though and grab this second chance and run with it.
Well done.
