Onwards and upwards
Good morning Bonkers,
Good to hear form you and that things arg going good, in spite of the illness and hectic work — some of the everyday disappoinment that still happen when we don’t gamble, but in not gambling we can handle them better.
In recovery the ones finding the help they need do not have to pay back anything, instead we have found that we pay forward to others that are coming for help after us. A catch phrase started by those in recovery, yet has somehow now filtered into other activities, even in commercials for the lottery here in the Sates; but nevertheless "Paying it Forward" is all that we can do when paying back is not expected or even possible — it is like moving "Onwards and upwards, and not back.
Enjoy your time in London. I was fortunate to have seen two shows there, the theatre offers a much better form of enjoyment and any needed time of escape from our worries than gambling ever did or could. And get all you can out of your outreach meeting, keep aware of what you need, where you are, and how you got there — stopping gambling is not hard, staying stopped is what ***** our diligent work and unwavering desire.
God’s speed. Stay strong. Keep aware. And stay thankful while paying forward what way freely given to you.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G's – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all I hope to continue to remain gambling free.
