Thank you Monica , Jen and KIn.
I love the idea that I am a cracked pot which makes me an improved version in some ways. I know that in my work I have empathy for people who have completely messed up their lives through bad decisions … I get it .. I get how close I have come so many times.

thank you all for the good thoughts and prayers – I really don’t mind the outcome -just don’t want to let myself down!

Onwards and upwards – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me .

Hi Jen ,
Hope you had a good day.
I also hope you are feeling upbeat and ready to kick this addiction where it hurts !
You deserve all the support you can get because your are worth it!

Hi Lizbeth ,
It was nice to chat with you tonight – it was a very busy group but great to connect just the same.
Bad credit creates a vicious cycle – if we didn’t have bad credit we could consolidate quite easily and get ourselves into a good financial situation in no time – then again I guess we might go crazy gambling …

Take care and I hope you get those tyres sorted.

Hi Kin,
This is so strange .
I decided to drop by and wish you a happy new year.
I was then going to go and post on my own thread about how I had left God behind and am trying to go it alone .
Then I read your post and it described exactly how I was feeling- disconnected from God and connected to a world which really doesn’t want to know if I am ok.

I am going to pose the question – if addiction can change the brain , surely it must be possible to change it back again?
Like when we practice the piano we become really good. Maybe if we really abstain from even gambling thoughts our brains will change back?
I have no ideabut I reckon science will soon discover how.

Perhaps fasting is the cure- the bible talks about fasting and the bible is never wrong . Perhaps fasting can change our brain chemistry ?

Hope you have a great year Kin.

Hi Sherrie
I can sense you are in a lot of pain right now.
Well done on coming and writing on your journal. This is the first step to fixing things.
Perhaps you could go to live support here or elsewhere also.

Whatever mess you have made there will be a way through it . Can you check if there is a group and maybe go to that?

Things will get better even if it doesn’t seem like that right now.
Hugs xx

Hi Lizbeth,
Well done on not gambling.
You are close to putting all these money worries behind you and building a great savings fund- keep your eye on that goal. The road trip is getting ever closer!

Saya suka puisi ini Ini benar-benar menangkap kecepatan roda yang berputar dan perubahan emosional konstan yang kita alami dalam waktu yang singkat – saya belum pernah mempertimbangkan ini sebelumnya – saya hanya memikirkan dampak dari periode yang lama waktu yang dihabiskan untuk berjudi. Otak dan tubuh kita yang buruk pasti sangat dibingungkan oleh siklus emosi yang terus-menerus. terima kasih banyak telah berbagi!

Eu amo este poema. Ele realmente captura a velocidade das rodas giratórias e as constantes mudanças emocionais pelas quais passamos em um espaço de tempo tão curto – eu não havia pensado nisso antes – eu só tinha pensado em termos do impacto de longos períodos de tempo gasto jogando. Nossos pobres cérebros e corpos devem estar muito confusos com o ciclo constante de emoções. muito obrigado por compartilhar!

I love this poem
It really captures the speed of the spinning wheels and the constant emotional changes we go through in such a short space of time – I hadn’t considered this before – I had only thought in terms of the impact of long periods of time spent gambling . Our poor brains and bodies must be so confused by the constant cycling of emotions .

thank you so much for sharing !

Man patīk šis dzejolis. Tas patiešām atspoguļo griešanās riteņu ātrumu un pastāvīgās emocionālās pārmaiņas, kuras mēs piedzīvojam tik īsā laikā – es to iepriekš nebiju apsvērusi – es biju domājis tikai par ilgu laika posmu ietekmi laiks, kas pavadīts azartspēlēs. Mūsu nabadzīgajām smadzenēm un ķermeņiem jābūt tik apjukušiem nepārtrauktajā emociju ciklā. liels paldies par dalīšanos!

Uwielbiam ten wiersz. Naprawdę oddaje prędkość obracających się kółek i ciągłe emocjonalne zmiany, przez które przechodzimy w tak krótkim czasie – nie zastanawiałem się nad tym wcześniej – myślałem tylko w kategoriach wpływu długich okresów czas spędzony na hazardzie. Nasze biedne mózgi i ciała muszą być tak zdezorientowane nieustannym cyklem emocji. dziękuję bardzo za udostępnienie!

Adoro questa poesia Cattura davvero la velocità delle ruote che girano e i costanti cambiamenti emotivi che attraversiamo in un così breve lasso di tempo – non l'avevo considerato prima – avevo pensato solo in termini di impatto di lunghi periodi di tempo trascorso a giocare. I nostri poveri cervelli e corpi devono essere così confusi dal costante ciclo delle emozioni. Grazie mille per la condivisione !

Thank you Lizbeth, Monica , Vera and Jen.

Jen ,
I live in Bally – go – backwards! There isn’t much happening near me except GA which is comepltely “owned” by a few dominant men who compete for top dog – I find that slightly entertaining.
But I have to admit I find their telling the same stories each week really boring – like that car on Facebook it is usually a description of all they own nowadays – they pretend to be modest about it (I owe it all to my wife ) but to be honest it still comes across as complete bragging! And I sometimes find myself wondering did they have a secret win on the lottery to be able to buy two houses so quickly …?

i am so glad to read you are taking so many steps to keep yourself free Jen. We deserve a great life !
