    Danchaser… for 25 years I was the only compulsive gambler out there , funny since I found recovery 7 years ago I now know soooo many CG’s in recovery.
    Personally Im not ashamed of my addiction in fact it gave me the chance to build a me that I liked so for that Im grateful, I dont wear a T-Shirt shouting out "Im a CG" but to me a huge part of my recovery was accepting what I had become and what I wanted to be… when I knew the answers I had a starting point, almost a map of the pathway I needed to take to allow my recovery to take shape.

    Hi Razzabelle
    Welcome back to GT, I believe that there is one important line in Dancasers reply" I do believe compulsive gamblers need each other"
    I like many tried Gamblers Anonymous and believed dit was wrong for me, although I stuck with it… it didnt seem to work. It took me along time to realise why GA didnt work, It wasnt GA it was me who simply wasnt open to some parts and ways GA worked.
    After many years I eneded up in a rehab, Ive now been clean for many years but the point is I now go to GA, I now understand GA, I can see through the parts that before where a hinderance. Gamblers anonymous does work… its not for everyone but if all you get from it is a sense that your not alone and use other methods of recovery then that time spent at GA is time worth spening.

    Jared, dont become dispondent over trying and not finding the pathway to recovery that suits you.  There are many pathways some are easy some are hard, by nature were look for the easy pathways… keep looking but this time look at the pathways you havent followed.
