Cảm ơn Ken, công cụ tuyệt vời. Tôi cũng đã sao chép vào mục Những điều cần đến trong chuỗi khóa.

Köszönöm Ken, remek eszköz. A Zárolás témakörbe is másoltam a Dolgok közé.

Hi Nick,
I hope you are managing to focus on your own recovery.

Read back over your own thread from the beginning – what advice have you previously been given that you could take actions on?

[charles]

Hi Conway, my apologies, my screen froze. If you can come back to a group sometime then hopefully we can talk.

[charles]

Ik heb dit ook in het topic van iemand anders gepost. Ik heb een klein bordje in mijn kas gekocht waarop staat: "Een tuin planten is geloven in morgen" Geniet van je nieuwe hobby.

[charles]

Ovo sam objavio i na tuđoj temi. Mali znak koji sam kupio u stakleniku kaže: "Posaditi vrt znači vjerovati u sutra" Uživajte u svom novom hobiju.

[charles]

I posted this on someone else’s thread as well.

I little sign I bought in my greenhouse says:

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow”

Enjoy your new hobby.

[charles]

Eu postei isso no tópico de outra pessoa também. Uma pequena placa que comprei na minha estufa diz: "Plantar um jardim é acreditar no amanhã" Aproveite o seu novo hobby.

Hi Lizbeth,

I have a little sign in my Greenhouse:

“To plant a Garden is to believe in Tomorrow”

Enjoy your weekend, if you are at home more nowadays maybe check out the group schedule and pop in to say Hi.

Stay safe.

I will hopefully be enjoying snacks in my garden most of the day but here are a couple of things I might check out later.

That one is for Katherine Jenkins singing Vera Lynn songs, from 6pm this evening ( UK time) but it then stays there to watch any time.

And I posted this one previously but I forgot to say this one is for today only 10am – 11.59 PM (UK time)

Have a great day and weekend all. Stay safe.

Hi Vera, I take the point about the Thread title I will change it. I would say that whatever stage of recovery we are at filling our time is important.
The world is a strange place right now. Someone might have been years in recovery, filled there time with lots of great things and now BAM they are all unavailable due to “lockdown”.

A newer or struggling member might be just now stopping gambling and BAM they have a massive void in their life timewise, with all the usual options unavailable.

It is always important to find ways to fill our time. Always important to find a variety of things so we don’t get hooked on something else. Never more important than the current world situation where it might not be just gambling that we are suddenly unable to do.

There are lots of support tools on this site -Threads in the Recovery Tools Forum, tools on the Gambling Therapy App the Helpline and groups as well as reading the forums and seeing the positive actions that have helped others gambling.

Help to find ways to fill our time is an important one of those tools.

[charles]

Perhaps the next time you are consider gambling you should look at some of the other options you have to fill your time. You want support? Great, I look forward to seeing you in the groups more often. Alternatively you could connect to the Helpline. Which of the tools on the App are you using? You had counselling I seem to remember – what did you learn there that you are choosing to do or nor to do? Read back on your own thread – what advice have you been previously given that you are choosing not to do? What barriers have you chosen not to put in place yet? Are you doing so now? You expressed feelings of neglect previously – go and read what I wrote then, are you using any of the support I suggested? Do any of the things? Did you think the support at GT is crap, I had better go to GA instead? Contact Gamcare? Ask your Dr to refer you to more counselling? Residential support? Or did you choose to disappear and not use support for 10 months? There are a lot of options out there, you can either choose to use them, or choose not to. I once told you the risk of having a pot of coins – you didn’t like that advice either. Now I understand that you are hurting, we all did when we lost our money. The thing is though you can either choose to attack things here, blame others for your problems, or you can choose to address your own actions. We are all responsible for our own actions. We were responsible for them when we were gambling and we are responsible for them in recovery. So what are you going to do? I

For those in the UK it is a Bank Holiday on Friday, I don’t know about elsewhere in the world. The weather looks like it is going to be great but for anyone who can’t/doesn’t want to be outside take a look at this link. Lots of VE day themed theatre stuff including a previously streamed musical.

VE Day 2020 Celebrations

I don’t know what it’s like but apparently it won some awards and stuff. 🙂 Stay safe.
