Thanks for this idi. Indeed, some very famous people have gone bankrupt and bounced back. Yes, I looked it up. Could you explain what you mean about the codswallop re manipulation? Do you mean that for us it is codswallop? Cos this is something I disagree with GA about. I can firmly say that I did not manipulate anyone during this addiction. I lied once or twice to gamble but used my own money and that of the credit card companies. Plus I think you are the least manipulative person I have come across. Which is why the tarring with the same brush is something I do not sign up to with GA. each gsmbleris different and is doing it for different reasons. I know my reasons were those of self destruction and the emotional aspects of the illness although the self destruction only played in when I had gone too far with it. So the powerlessness does then come into it. I like your analogy of the allergy to peanuts i.e. You just can’t do it and I will carry that with me to refer back to if needed.
