Hi members. This is day 6 of fighting depression and I'm feeling OK today.

Yesterday which was weds 1 St August I had a terrible day and did not do anything on the site at all. That was day 5.

I went to bed early and I have got up today feeling a bit better. Had a cuppa tea and took my medication. I have engaged with the site and made my rounds on the wins and left comments.

Particularly impressed with Dannyr today. Just made his first post today and went on to make 4 very good win posts. 

Anyway this is day 6 and the fight continues. Now that I have lifted my head and re engaged with the site I am trying my best to stay active. 

I will not give in. 

You guys are all great here at CG. . 

Craig Smith 2nd August 2018.

Hi members, players. I am going to leave a message every day I am active on the site. I will leave a status update on my profile page. 

Day 4 of fighting depression. Woke up today and made a cuppa tea. I took my medication and it's helped me relax. I have done well today on the CG site. There is no pressure today on me. All the pressure will be tomorrow.

I have my support worker to help me tomorrow. 

I am thinking off of something a member sirbuzzk said to me in a PM.  He explained how things like depression can turn around quickly. It was very helpful what he explained to me. 

What I am doing is taking all of the little things that I pick up through members helping me. I will no when I start to come out of depression and when I do I will happily tell everyone on the CG site. 

For now I am still fighting it and this is day 4.

The member BTGking was the one who made me lift my head and start doing things again. I can't thank Mark enough because if he had not got in touch I would not have re engaged with the site. 

Day 4 and OK upto now. I will update tonight. Thanks to all for there continued support. 

Craig. 

Hi all. This is day 3 fighting my depression. The support is amazing and you guys are just the best.

Im ticking the good days off on my calendar. I will stay as active as i can on the site.

Day 4 tommorow. I will see what it brings.

Hi everyone at casinogrounds. I have not been well for a good while now but i have managed to come back today saturday 28 th july 2018 and start again working my way through the wins. Back to commenting. I have seen some beautiful wins today and its good to see players winning. I hope all members are doing ok and i will continue to fight my depression. I found it nice that a member of casinogrounds BTGking realized i had not been on the site for a while and he e mailed me a very pleasant e mail asking if i was ok. It shows there are people out thare that really do care. I hope someday to visit denmark and have a coffee with BTGking. 

Overall im as upto date as i can be and i will continue to fight depression and continue to keep posting comments on my players wins. 

Thankyou. Craig smith.

Good day today. Things are looking up. A bit brighter. Got some hope in my life. An idea for the future. Its weird how the brain of a gambler works. I view a lot of things from a betting perspective. An old friend gave me a tip years ago. Talking 17 years ago and he was right. Thats kinda whare my hope is coming from. Linked into the deep person that i am and the way i am health wise. I have to try and adjust to work to what strenths i have. Rome was not built in a day. I will leave it thare and hop off to bed. Very active day on the site. Lots of super wins today. Plenty of commenting. Little landmark to in reaching 800 points on the overall points table. 58 days won. I do take pride init. Some days are a struggle but i do what i can.

Five and a half months to go. And 7 months to go for something else i have in the pipeline for next year.

Hi folks craig here. Feeling good today. Really hot whare i live at the moment. Been out today with my support worker and been to an important meeting.

When i got home i sorted what i had to sort out and popped onto casinogrounds to see what was posted up. Been a lot of good wins past couple of days. Great run from swefjorod. Happy for him.

The icing on the cake today was when i saw DCT had posted up a terminator 2 hotmode. I think its pure class of a bonus. 

Anyway feeling better today fellow posters and slot players. If only i could bottle it up and keep it permenantly. Feeling good.

I will enjoy the rest of my day and if kim reads this good luck to your sweden in the world cup. Brilliant chance for sweden or england. 

Have a nice day everybody.

Hi folks craig here. 

Feeling a little better today. A lot calmer than i was yesterday. There was something that had really gotten into me yesterday and my mind ran on and on.

Today a newday and a new plan going forward. Im just taking it a day at a time. Its impossible to continually think of future events and plan a route. Why ? Because there are far to many unforseen changes. 

From now on its a day at a time and if i do good things the better things in life will come along. 

I had to sit and have a real good chat with my support worker yesterday and it has really helped. 

I notice in the slot world that other slots are being played which is nice to see. Its not all BTG at the moment although they will be back. It works in phases. 

Im happy for huggehugg turning it around as he has been on a cold run. Roll on christmas because next year is going to be a far better year.

Goal- hit a wildline on D.O.A.

Hi everybody. Craig here. I want to write some of my thoughts down because i want to basically.

I am fighting the urge to gamble until christmas time but it is difficult. 

I am also torn between 2 lives. The one my family would like me to live and the one i want to live.

I have been reading alot and watching alot about vietnam to escape. The war is escapasism for me.

I am trying to maintain commenting on players wins in casinogrounds but my mind is elsewhare.

Part of me would like to be a golfer again but circumstances play a massive part in trying to make that happen. There are so many obstacles and problems to try and overcome to become a regular golfer again.

Gambling provides such an escape and gives tremendous focus. Part of me wants to be in that world and i wish i had done it years ago. Now as sore as it is to say this i need help in getting into it.  I no what to do but i do not think i have the courage to do it.

The years tick by and age becomes a factor. At 40 i dont no what to do so i just go along day to day hoping for a miracle. My health is a blockade and managing it is hard.

At times i think im a unique case and i am just one of those people who slipped through the net in that i will suffer and suffer with so much potential and it will be to late before i attempt something. 

In my mind i think i may be one of those tradgic cases in life. I may think into it to much but my mind works in mysterious ways. 

I am one of the most pleasant people anybody could meet. I just wish people that do no me or get to no me actually listen to the depth of my pain. And maybe something will happen that i have not seen yet and i can rise up and start again.

But when. ?

Craig smith.

Today is a very hot day whare i stay. Actually had a long spell of hot weather. I prefer the winter myself but i have to put up with it. Nature is one thing man can do nothing about. Im pretty sure on that.

Done some commenting today and saw a very nice win on extra chilli. A ton of aces for a big hit. Was nice to see. And it was nice to see the player that got it back posting a win up. 

I have had my gas safety boiler check today and everything is fine. So thats good. Casumo offering a good 80 percent deposit bonus which i think may be worth a deposit later. I will see. Im heading off for a sleep on the couch now. Bin up since 5 am and medication makes me tired.

Good luck to all you players out thare.

Came back today sat june 2 nd and although still feeling a bit poorly i went ahead and did alot of commenting on a lot of good wins.

On friday the 1 st of june i was very poorly. Up early and i was sick most of the morning. It gets to that point whare i could not bring anything else up.

I felt awful and i think i had a bad stomach bug. Thats me done for today.

Its door locked. Headphones on and i will sit and watch films till late. 

Still a bit tender in the stomach so will not be eating a lot. Hope there are some big winners tonight.

Today i think the best video/win goes to mario. Supersmask for his brilliant run on book of dead. Was a lota fun.?.

2 nd june 2018.

Had one of those days today on casinogrounds. I took a day off from commenting and came back to a mountain of comments in big wins.

I actually feel today like i have achieved something. Got that yip i have done 4 hours non stop commenting.

And as i was working through them more pop up and more. Its great though because PEOPLE ARE WINNING. ☺☺??.

Anyway i got through all the wins. Some crackers to. I was happy to see boracic lint get a cashout of £620 from a £20 deposit. Nice to see. Because i no he will be buzzing today.

Time to put the feet up after a hard day and watch the champions league final. ????.

Having a nice time today. Very chilled at home which is nice + i will savour it. Have to savour the good days.☺

  playing demo on slots, free play. Commenting on some amazing wins on casinogrounds which is good to see, players winning.

Im playing dragons treasure on fun play. I will watch a couple of dvd"s later.

Got a pizza for my dinner tonight. Yip ticked off as a good day. I just felt like commenting.

My life consists of routine, managing my health day to day and doing what i have to do. I enjoy slots and always have,

whare wee are at with slots now is incredible. Huge jackpot slots, and jackpot roulette to. Also slot providers on there volatility, look no further than BTG. There slots are amazing in fact of what they can pay out.

Playngo have some good volatile slots and novomatic/greentube will always be popular, i myself love novo's and my favourite novo is book of ra deluxe.

I dont play much but if i do i only play small stakes. I am however hoping to get back into playing slots more come the end of the year. And maybe i can post a few big wins up on the forum.

Anyway i just felt like writing a personal note.

Really enjoying interacting with people on casinogrounds.  I feel and think it is an amazing outlet for casino players and for people who have a love of the gaming industry. Whare else can people turn to for advice, help, and show off there big and sometimes huge wins.

Gaming is so popular now and it will continue to grow. I also feel that slot providers need to look towards volatility design's in new up coming slots. Prime example is PUSH GAMING with FAT RABBIT + TIKI TUMBLE. Very volatile when they want to be. BTG still leading the way though and thare new addition EXTRA CHILLI has taken off like a whirlwind. Very popular game/slot. 

Overall i think players today have an exellent choice in gaming and the readiness is right thare to play easily. Long may it continue.

My favourite film is ( The Deer Hunter). I feel it depicts great times and joy in life surrounded by friends, to the horrors of war and the lifelong scars it can produce.. The changes it makes on people, friends from a small working class town. The addiction of war and utter destruction of the human mind through it. And living with the aftermath of what once was that will never be again. Its an epic classic that when i am sad i watch it.. And it packs a powerful punch on the devastating effect of war.

Although i am unwell i have found a great outlet in casinogrounds.i am 40 andView attachment 5971 I really enjoy getting in and seeing peoples storys. I also enjoy commenting as it takes me away from the daily grind of struggling on.  Its my escapasism in life. Im not technically gifted but understand basics. I am shy, but articulate. And can distinguish right from wrong. Good and bad. Live alone and am not quite reclusive but do spend alot of time at home. I am pleasant and i understand how popular slots have become. The win possibilities now are incredible. Through volatile slots. BTG leading the way. Anyway a little about myself. Craig.
