When “our game is up”it brings relief but we need to step up on our awareness. Even after I owned up and admitted to my husband that I had lost a fortune, I still managed to run a side show for about 6 years . I continued gambling. I reassured myself that because I had “come clean” I was no longer at risk of being caught. I fooled MYSELF. In the end the secrecy took it’s toll. It was far more damaging than the gambling itself. At this point, I had narrowed down my “significant others” to only the few who would enable me . I had pushed everyone else away. I think a CG has an innate ability to target the vulnerable .
GA helps to keep members grounded. It is very humbling when you meet someone who is illiterate and yet displays more wisdom than the so called big shots who boast about their academic achievements. GA is a simple programme designed for very clever people. I have met more interesting/intelligent people in GA than I did in any other walk of life.
I still have no idea how GA works!
