Just thinking back on all the Monday nights I stayed focussed and came straight home to check into your 9pm group, Charles to report my “success”, like a child running home from school to say she got ten out of ten in a spelling exam. Sounds silly but for a CG it’s a great prop to know someone is interested. Also when Cathie ran this group, (Hi, if you’re still around, Cathie!) I would be finishing a 12 hour shift and driving home exhausted only to find the car indicator “automatically” leading me to the exit for the casino to unwind and instead I would shake myself and act accountably, knowing that there would be someone to unwind with in a more healthy way.
Maybe I was fooling myself.
Was this another illusion?
Maybe we become too dependent on groups, when in reality nobody can take a step for another person. It’s up to each individual to look out for him/herself.
All good things come to an end so thanks Charles (and Cathie). I want you to know you saved me thousands in money, not to mention the grief and stress I was spared by your presence.
See you and others soon in a non verboten group hopefully!
Best wishes to all new members!
