I got flowers delivered today from my new boss and she took me to lunch!
What a very nice way to be welcomed.
Vera,, I think our Pastor knows, but not from us. I never had the courage to tell them. My husband and I went before the church and asked for prayer. (They even annointed us with oil). First time I ever had that done. This happened about 2weeks before we self-excluded. Those two weeks was the most frantic binge we ever had. It was pure chaos after we were prayed over. I truly believe that GOd brought things, or else allowed things to come to a very painful end so that when we stoped we had a very strong reason to seek Recovery.
It may sound far out there to some people, but this is my walk and I believe there is power in my Higher power. That’s what helped me have the courage to ban. I wanted to keep gambling. I just didn’t want the consequences of losing. (I suppose, if I am honest , I still feel that way.) I really can’t handle the consequences of gambling. I have to remind myself everyday.
