Does being a compulsive gambler only affects you? or only loosing some money is the problem? I think NO. so I was thinking about the question, are we recovering compulsive gamblers or just compulsive gamblers? recovery to me is not only stop gambling but placing every thing in our life where it is supposed to be. when we gamble we are all over the world, and not near where we should be. families are far, friends do not exist any more, health getting away and so on. So I prefer to say recovering. as soon as i stop gambling i start about my life, the one i had before, laughter’s and happy times. I want them back. I am agree with you when you say we are all one bet away from becoming compulsive again but at the same time we are in recovery of our life and good things that we have lost. is not that right when we say we are not trying to be perfect, but progress, even if it is baby steps? It was something that came to my mind, and said better say than keep it in me.. Love you all. sam
