Thank you Johnny , Monica and Laura.
Today I exercised my choice not to gamble – it neither feels good or bad , but is simply a choice I made just like many others I made today .
Laura, boundaries are so important. – and I think part of having boundaries is calling people out on poor behaviour .
Monica you are so right – I was hurt by regular posters . I was hurt that something I had confided in a group to two people was turned into a circus by those two people – and I believe deliberately so. It was cleverly used to set me up and attack me – but I do believe it backfired and I think they both know that .
I am very aware that no apology has been forthcoming, and my observation is that for all This bleating on about recovery versus abstinence – GA is simply a day numbering exercise – where greater number of days gives a sense of superiority rather than any of the elusive work on character faults we keep hearing about – again this observation is based on my experience only of the people I know in GA- there may be many others who actually do try to overcome their faults . Sorry really is the hardest word.
However , someone having a sense of superiority does not make me feel inferior! It is something that exists in their own little mind !
Couldn’t reply to chat – there is a Chinese group now – Can you go there Monica?
