Non CGs don’t get it Monique. That’s why you need Support sites and Groups likeGT and GA. My nearest and dearest enabled me to gamble. I picked the two who I knew I could manipulate and played them like a fiddle. The rest of the family didn’t want to hear any bad news I did get a few Ohs and Aws from them but they hadn’t a clue. How could they?
I blacklisted the people who were no use to me. That’s what CGs do, sadly.
CGs are also impatient.
It took us a long time to get into this mess. We need time to get out. It can be slow progress but it is better than adding to the carnage.Its twenty months since I gambled. Only now am I beginning to see some positive results but I have a long road ahead. There are no magic wands. I don’t believe God dips our nose in the mess , but I do believe if we “turn our lives over to a Higher Power” (God in my case) “and seek to do His Will”as it says in the GA Book, change will happen.
Hang in Monique.
Think of how dreadful life would be if you were still gambling.
Being G free is the best bonus you have today.
