Charles,you were a lifeline for me in the past when things were really bad and I so appreciate all the help you provided. Your own experience means you are approachable and have such an understanding of the issues we faced.I am now living a gamble free life and the awful years of the past feel like a distant memory. A huge part of that distant memory is you- how you always gave me hope and never gave up on anyone. You inspired me to seek better, to understand that I was worth more and that somewhere inside me I had what it takes to beat this demon. I cannot believe all I have acheived in recent years. I have travelled, improved my home, created better relationships and as you use to say, “I now have all the things I used to think I needed a win for”.
Thank you so much for your work in the groups. They were the only online groups where I felt comfortable and mostly thank you for your huge contribution to my recovery.
