Welcome to my thread and your valuable post. Have you been G free for sometime now? The fog you speak of is lifting from my brain, and the pain and realisation of what I have done is sinking in. I guess it is me, facing up to the harsh reality of what I’ve done and what’s been happening in my life and what I need to do for my own sake and those I love a round me. I’ve locked in Monday as my new date of fessing up to my partner. I live and hope he will possess the understanding to support me emotionally through this mess. Christians against poverty have given me an appointment on the 30 January which I am grateful for. The banks that I have borrowed from are offering very little support or understanding of the difficulties in paying them back. The may have already mentioned this. I’m up to day 44 of being G free and I’m pleased to be free from the need to gamble today. Thanks again everyone, you are all really helping me at this dam tough time in my life. On a more positive note, I have been creating mini herb gardens in pots for my family this year from herbs in my garden that have had babies and scrubbed up some old garden pots to put them in. I figured I could give this as a gift to a family of four to enjoy, rather than expensive individual gifts.
