Hi I’m Done,
Just wrote to you and lost it! My new computer is very touchy!
You ask two very good questions. My answer to both are interrelated. I have been gambling for over a decade. I think it became a problem shortly after I started. I believe that my recovery began when I realized that my gambling was a problem. But I think it kind of started without me at that point. It really began when I admitted to myself and to others that in fact gambling was a problem for me. Realizing you have a problem is a start but it is different than admitting that you are powerless over it. If given the opportunity, it will always have more control over my behavior than I do. So, I would say that I am in recovery and that is something I will never take for granted. It is something I work at and at the same time it is a gift. I will never not be in recovery.
Don’t mind me. Sometimes I ramble on other people’s threads. I mean well. lol
Stay hopeful. Hope is a good thing!
I like our how our two names work together.
We are done with this (gambling and all the crap that goes with it) and We can do this (recovery and all the benefits that go with it)
