How right you are, P.
The root of gambling addiction is complex.
Very intricate. We may never know why we gambled. Indeed, when I questioned my “madness” the answer was “why not?”
I thought that people who didn’t gamble weren’t living.
When we are “in the throes” we try to apply rational thought to irrational behaviour.
Now, I say “it doesn’t matter why I gambled”.
All we need to focus on TODAY, P is how to avoid the next bet.
easy when you know how and we do know how! Thank God we know how to protect ourselves from the hell that gambling will always be to every CG.
‘See you later in a group, P.
In the meantime…deep breaths. You’re doing fine. Just like me. Rolling with the punches!!
