Good morning Kathryn,
Not knowing how to find what we need, even if we have no idea what it is, is a little depressing but not all bad. In the past we all "knew" that we could find whatever it was in gambling, not you know that gambling is not the answer; the urges may be strong but they will pass, let your knowledge carry you pass the urge so that you can see the real problem you are struggling with today.
In my last post a suggestion from there pops out to me in my reply now, not in the humor that surrounded it, but in a thought connected to that solution; "thankfully we can fall back on non-technical remedies". In the beginning days of this topic, of your (new thread), you also felt a need, a need for extra help. The actions you took then, i.e. "i went to a g.a. meeting last night. It was good, i felt better when i left than when i walked in. I just need the extra help so i’m taking It", might also be what you need now, it maybe the idea that is hidden, and the thing that will also help in the loneliness you feel. Sharing your problems and struggles with others again may give you the jolt and renewed outlook on your life that will get you past these times. Even going to a couple of meetings may be what is needed, and if not attending a GA meeting, getting back in touch with a counselor may provide similar help in your quest to live and to keep living gambling free a great adventure.
In closing I will use a quote that I found missing in this post of you reaching out, one that says a lot about our search for adventures, and the best way to find and enjoy them — "To live, (and for a CG, to live gambling free) that would be a great adventure" ~ Peter Pan
God’s speed. Stay strong. Keep active, do something.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G's – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all I hope to continue to remain gambling free.
