Compulsive Gamblers CANNOT control gambling.
No win will ever be big enough.
The more a CGs wins, the more he/she gambles.
The problem is progressive.
Losses increase quickly when we lose control.
The fun ends when we lose everything we could have called our own.
Once we cross the line into compulsive gambling, we can never gamble normally again.
We are only as sick as our secrets.
Lies and deceit are the tools a CG uses.
Money loses it’s real value and becomes ammunition to gamble.
Truth and honesty (with yourself and with significant others)
Are the tools we need in Recovery.
Gamblers cannot/should not handle money.
All access to money must be blocked off.
Lots of help available.
Start by postponing your next bet, one day at a time.
It IS possible to stop and to stay stopped.
Action speaks far louder than words.
I learned all this the hard way.
I am putting it into action at last.
Wishing you all the best with your presentation.
Well done on your G Free time!
