The serenity prayer is something that has helped me to gain acceptance, not just the fact that I am a compulsive gambler.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, for me it helps put a lot into perspective.
Thankfully I am currently several months gamble free and my head is a lot less cloudy than it was before I again accepted that I am powerless over the addiction, and to remain living gambling free I must continue with support.
I never knew of your loss and admire you a great deal for posting about it here.
Once any of us have really accepted that we are compulsive gamblers we should also begin to accept that there are people all over the world who have to accept a lot lot more than the destruction we cause to ourselves and loved ones by allowing gambling back into our lives.
God bless you, and thanks again Ken.
