My dear Bettie,
The only place that I can think of to start in reply is to encourage you to continue to work your recovery; work at keeping that day as "The Last Day Gambled". You are fully aware of the dangerous spiral that such action can put you in, act on that awareness and knowledge and put aside any thoughts of following up with a next bet.
I am proud of you for coming here and telling us of your actions, and in doing so, not only are you still moving forward, you are giving us all a warning to be more diligent and not think that we can return to gambling just because, whatever the reason. I feel terribly sorry for anyone having to find themselves in a situation where they succumb to temptation, especially for you; not only for the regret and anguish you express in your few words, but for the feelings that you must have been experiencing that let this addiction take this momentary control once again.
The only way that comes to mind for me to end this post is to respectfully ask, "did you find what you were looking for?".
Your friend,
Larry
Thanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free.– 1/3/2012 6:04:17 PM: post edited by paul315.
