Hi FG,
I was just reading yours and Vera’s posts in regards to new members……I’m assuming they can join the community groups along with us oldies???? I remember coming here and being in awe of members who had been gamble free for what I considered to be a long time….marilee comes to mind immediately! She was a lifeline for me, knowing it COULD be done! It inspired me and gave me so much hope! And god knows I needed it! In saying that, I understand the need for new members to ease in as such, it’s all very overwhelming so maybe, as long as they can access other groups it is good for them to have a group. I feel very blessed o have joined this wonderful forum when I did….I feel I benefited so so much. Back then there was only Tim and Harry on the helpline, and I have great memories of chewing their ears off (poor buggers!)
I guess in the end it’s the new members who can say whether that group works, it may build a foundation of friendship as well…. Look at all of us that are still here!
Speaking of marilee and Tim, just a shout out if they ever read this that I think of them often and hope they are well and living happy lives!!!!
Well there’s my 2 cents, wanted or not!
Have a great weekend my friend, love K xxxx
