Sometimes, I -did-it, CGs get impatient when we don’t see instant progress. We can’t expect to see any improvement unless we push ourselves in the right direction. It’s like swimming against the tide sometimes but if we want to survive we have to stop threading water and push ourselves forward.
In my experience , it is only when I suffer enough that I will do something to relieve the suffering.
There is a big difference between “relief” and a “cure”.
Relief, for me when I was enabled to gamble further i.e. by getting loans and by finding enablers.
As soon as the rug was pulled from under my feet, everything changed.
Mind you, I had to kick that rug from under my own feet at times by “coming clean”.
“Relief” is comforting.
A “cure” is painful.
No pain, no gain!
When we realize that we are powerless over gambling, the urges subside.
The only thing that keeps a gambler in action, is the false belief that there is something to be gained by gambling.
That’s my twopence worth for today.
I fooled myself and made excuses for years.
Stop looking for easy options. They don’t exist!
