Hi risingphoenix,

Thank you for carrying the message.
When you relapse, you do not give up, you get up!

Hi asdfghost,

Well done on staying gamble free!

Everyone did the same thing here
By staying gamble free one day at a time.

Everyday every person begins at the same starting point.
You only need to stay gamble free today.
Tomorrow, we do the same.

One baby step forward at a time.

It is important for me to remember at this stage that I can still be weak and vulnerable at certain times.
I still need to walk away from old familiar ways, they require effort, it is not automatic.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Today I surrender my life to You. I cannot do this on my own, You take over, God. My bad habit has to die in my sacrifice to You. Tomorrow I will do the same. Holy Spirit, help me to take one day at a time, to submit and obey You. Father God, help me to give up my ways to follow Your way. Father God, fill me with more of You and less of me. May Your will be done, not mine. In Jesus’s holy name I pray, Amen.

The only difference between

Someone who have stay stop and someone trying to stop

Everyone who have stay stop…has a past
Everyone trying to stop…has a future

Gambling has caused the victims to lose the most important people, places and things in their life. They have lost their marriage, their home, their career and all their lifesaving.

All the most important people, place and thing in their life could not stop their problem gambling.

Gambling came to steal, rob and destroy lives. It brings pain and suffering into the victim’s lives.

How much they know and what they know about how to stop gambling could not save them.

Until they start to practice and use them in their daily lives.
I choose to follow the footsteps of people who have successfully stop gambling.
I started to follow Jesus and pray to Father God in the name of Jesus.

Hi sarahluna,

You posted on my thread,” The last half year many problems came over me. I m feeling so bad at the Moment, Never felt so Bad in my whole life.”

We do not know what you have gone thru in the last 6 months.
No one is perfect. Not everyday is a good day.
Doing it alone is tough. We need support. We need help.
Looking forward to reading your new updates and seeing encouragement and support from others too.

Hi sarahluna,

If following Jesus can help me stay stop. I will follow Jesus.

I was willing to do anything to stay stop.

Luke 9:23
“Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’”

Matthew 16:24
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.’”

For many years, I have focus on the problems that leads me to gamble. I could stop but I could not stay stop.

Now I am focus on living and following a lifestyle that leads me to stay gamble free. I could stop and I can stay stop now.

I do not wish to have no money in the end due to win/lost, lost/lost, win/win/lost, lost/win/lost.

Now I do not wish to be like a pig who was clean but go back to roll in the mud later.

There is only two results in gambling; either you win or you lose.
Winning is just a part of the process.

Look at your record!
Look at your record!
Look at your record!

This is the truth!

After you lose, you could not stop gambling, you want more until you have no more money to gamble in the end
After you win, you could not stop gambling, you want more until you have no more money to gamble in the end

In my past
I was carrying all the weight on my own.
I trust myself more than I trust God.
I did not trust God, I rejected God.
I did not let go of the steering wheel to God,
I did not want to let God to take control of my steering wheel.

Now
I learn to trust God, I learn to let God help me in my recovery.
I learn to depend on God in my recovery

When I complained to a professional about my worry, anxiety, fear and stress.
It was very obvious for them to see that I was carrying all the weight on my own.
I did not trust God, I rejected God.
I trust myself more than I trust God.
I did not let go of the steering wheel to God,
I did not trust God to take control of the steering wheel.

I told my counsellor that I read the bible, I goes to church, and I pray.
The reply from my counsellor surprise and shock me.
My counsellor told me that I was doing it wrongly, I was not doing enough.

It was very hard, I was thinking what else should I do?
Everything lead me to the present gambling support group in a church.

Things started to change for me…
