یہ ایک ناقابل یقین پوسٹ ہے۔ اس نے میری جوئے میں جو مقدار پھینکی اس کو سمجھنے میں میری بہت مدد کی۔ مجھے آپ کے درخت اور برڈ فیڈر مشابہت پسند ہے۔ خدا کرے یہ مجھے جوئے سے پاک رکھنے میں واقعی مفید ہو۔

ਇਹ ਇੱਕ ਅਦਭੁਤ ਪੋਸਟ ਹੈ. ਇਸਨੇ ਮੇਰੀ ਜੂਆ ਖੇਡਣ ਦੀ ਮਾਤਰਾ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਝਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੇਰੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕੀਤੀ. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਰੁੱਖ ਅਤੇ ਪੰਛੀ ਪਾਲਕ ਦੀ ਸਮਾਨਤਾ ਪਸੰਦ ਹੈ. ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਇਹ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਜੂਏ ਤੋਂ ਮੁਕਤ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਲਾਭਦਾਇਕ ਹੈ.

Bu inanılmaz bir yazı. Kumarda attığım miktarları anlamamda bana çok yardımcı oldu. Ağacınızı ve kuş besleyici benzetmenizi seviyorum. Tanrım, beni kumardan uzak tutmakta gerçekten işe yarıyor.

See on uskumatu postitus. See aitas mul nii palju hasartmängude peale visatud summade mõtestamisel. Mulle meeldib teie puu ja linnusööda analoogia. issand, see on tõesti kasulik, et hoida mind hasartmängudest vabana.

Hi Kin,
n
nThank you for your wise words. Do you ever use the GA zoom meetings . Ive been joining them and they are amazing. Your experiences and contributions there would be so beneficial to so so many including me 🙂GA Zoom meetings will help you
Lizbeth the zoom meetings are incredible and a good way to get past the urges when they start. I started yesterday and honestly love them.
Thanks so much. had my first zoom meetings today and they were brilliant. Real eye (and ear) openers.
it shouldn’t matter if someone lost the same amount or more than you ed. Focus on recovery steps and read some of the stories of others on this forum
Hi Ed,
your addiction has got to the point of not allowing you to keep a penny of what you earn.
its time to admit that you are out of control when it comes to gambling. you need to accept that this is a path of destruction for you.
1. lose access to money. Cut up cards and let someone you trust handle your money for now
you are betting big like I did and as a result lost large amounts rapidly. Think of all the opportunities that money could have brought you and say to yourself you won’t let that continue. you are the one losing out here buy buying into a false dream.
you Need professional help and no access to money.
please make a change today for you own peace of mind and happiness
I can apply the delaying of pleasure to all aspects of my life. With food, with entertainment with objects, with words.

nI found your reflections on harsh words so useful. How true it is that in that moment of throwing harsh words about we do find that instant pleasure (offloading) but the impact on the receiver is rarely considered. Harsh words are used to in fact hurt the receiver whilst relieving the giver
n
nI agree with you that that is indeed extremely selfish. I will be watching myself from now on how I communicate with others and my most cherished people – my family who seem to often be I the receiving end of my venting.

nThank you.Thank you kin for your posts. I read through many of your reflections yesterday and today and found a lot of sense in what I read. It was both comforting and reassuring to me at a time I needed it.
this part stood out for me in your last post ‘Pathetically, however, there never seems to be a big enough winning to make even the smallest dream come true. When compulsive gamblers succeed, they gamble to dream still greater dreams.’
it is so true that in gambling I delayed my achievable ‘dream’ but I will now strive to make this little realsitic dream my reality.
yesterday I read your comments on instant gratification and abstaining from instant pleasur/instant results. This helped me so much to refocus on my long term goals
thank you kin
