I really thank you all for your great support, I read other members stories and it makes me much stronger that we can all bat this addiction.  I really think coming to this sight everyday helps, reading new posts really makes you think that’s why we all want to stay gamble free, the thoughts are all fresh like you have just had an outing at the casino or racetrack, it allows you to feel the pain once again.  It hurts, breaks your heart that everyday there are people out there that are seeking help but there is know one to help them.  The best gift that we can all enjoy is that God is always there for us and when are minds are focused we all know deep down we can beat this bad addiction, we really can.  My advice to all new members stay away from people that you know have a problem gambling and they wont seek any help, because all it takes is one phone call at the early stages of quiting and you right back at square one.  You need to all come clean with your addiction and tell him or her that your seeking help and your looking forward to a bright future.  Please … Please … never think of your past, have positive thoughts go through your head be proud of who you become, each day you will get stronger, get involved in more family activities if there is none, you can be the leader in this make plans with family friends enjoy life to the fulliest.  There are so many things in this world that we can do and have so much fun.  Your never to old to have a fresh start, what will make you feel real good about yourself?  Helping someone in need, it can be anything, look for an opportunity to help someone, do it a few times and you’ll see how good you feel about doing these nice things. 
Life is not about highs and lows because in life everyone Rich or Poor will experience these ups and downs, we all need to know how to deal with these challenges, I know myself that as a child my Father really didn’t spend alot of time with us kids, our mother did, I never really knew how to really love someone or to really trust someone.  If we were all tought at an early age how to deal with life struggles we wouldn’t be on this site.  Alot of people on this site gamble because it’s away out a stress reliever, which this just causes us more stress in our lives.  I now know that we did to deal with what causes our stress and deal with it because if we never touch this question we will continue to do the same thing week in and week out.  Lets all try to focus on dealing with what stress’s us out so much that we need to get away?  Also we can going to have stress in our lives but that’s what holidays are for, enjoying life with spouses, kids, family and friends.  I would like everyone who reads this post to give me some input on this topic, so we can adjust add things to our gamble free master plan, look forward to all replies, lets all get a final strangle hold on this matter.  God Bless!!
