Hi all, i posted a few days ago but its been removed. Along with the posts i reported....
All ok here. Getting used to motherhood. Had my first real urge to gamble in years last week. was only a fleeting thought but enough to make me pick up the phone to speak to a few members from my GA meetings.
Just goes to show that it can creep up on you no matter how long you dont gamble for.
Reminded me that i need my meetings more than ever.

CC - Well done on resisting the urge! You are doing exceptionally well! Keep it up.

Glad to hear that you are getting used to motherhood!

Emma - I have replied to your PM and am reasking that you keep your contact with me there rather than here hun - feel very disrespectful to those who are here for support having to sift through your posts to me

Cantcope - congrats on motherhood and congrats also for resisting the urge. I am thankful in one sense that my monies were not paid to me this weekend as I am feeling so, so low that I don't think I would have had the strength to ignore the urges very well. BUT I am doing great - no internet at home either which will obviously help!

Stay strong all xxxx

I suggest you contact the police if you are owed money. This isn't the place to chase for it and clearly it is getting you nowhere.
Have some respect for others on here.

Why do you think your posts are relevant? This is for ex and would be ex gamblers. It is not a thread for debt collecting.
Why would you give a stranger money? I don't know. Why did you?

Your posts are removed because they get reported by people you are upsetting.
Again I urge you to contact the police or perhaps trading standards?
This is not the place for debt collecting.

David was there a trigger? Bored? Down? Stressed?
Make sure you get all the necessary blocks put in place now while it still hurts to make it harder in future should you feel tempted again.

David - yes was there a trigger?
