Hi Geoff, maybe a good idea if you could study english, your spelling is terrible.
Best wishes in your recovery anyway and your exams.

Hi Geoff

My Birthday (last day gambled) is the same as yours...I think.
The wee hours of the next morning I attempted suicide. Silly Bugger!!!! <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

In my profile I have my birthday as the 1st day I walked into my GA meeting.
And so...I started on my journey to recovery from this addiction.

It sounds like you have at least some self esteem back....Doesn't it feel good! <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->
All the best for your exam.

Best wishes
Roy

Hi Geoff, Yes that was a bit mean if me and yes Geoff do attend GA meetings for the last ten years and I will never be perfect unfortunately. Guess the Nuns instilled in us about good grammer and gave us a good hit if we didn't get it right.
I also hope your exams went well and life inrecovery for us can achieve great things.
