Hi there, hope your day is going well. Its great to see you back here, the forum changes people come and go, some just post less others dont return and some stick like glue, like me… But ive had my times of disappearing , i always return though and so glad you have fg.
Hows your time gamble free so far. I love that you are working on relatioships and things that matter. There are lots of things that become moe important. I think recovery has a way of showing the simple things in life.P
Wow im so sorry those things happened to you in your childhood.. lizbeth i think you do an amazing job of all you do. Your family is so important to you and you are always there for them, always helping them.
I hope that you find some peace about this,maybe some counselling could help you.. despite how your mother is with you and all that you have gone through you are a very giving and generous person yourself with your time and helping everyone out.. you have come through this addiction really well.. not that we are cured ever we arent but you are getting through these situations without gambling.. keep going Lizbeth, find a good counsellor to talk to, keep posting, hang in there…P
OH wow was i so delighted to see your post today.. what a suprise. Im sorry that you are still gambling but so glad that you are back.. i have often wondered how you are doing and used to love seeing you here.. well done on getting here FG, youve made my day

You are doing extremely well under the circumstances, you have had so much stress to deal with and you have been through huge things. Yet your recovery is staying strong. You do have those urges sometimes but you are not acting on them.. when you are a carer you also have to be really sure you are also caring for you enough, it is hard sometimes being so responsible for others all the time..
I just think you do such a good job.. sounds like the gym is a great hobby for you, i love your motivation, it almost makes me want to put some joggers on and go exercise.. i idid say almost right.. as i am such a procrastinator at times and can be lazy. I love it that you go do these things among all the other things you do..
Now, the missing something.. i think you already have looked before but what about some sort of group in your area.. is there any GA.. probably too far.. or some sort of group of something that interests you..P
So wonderful to read your posts today.. i remember when you used to post and we used to chat here. Wow you have come a long way.. so nice you are taking your mum out. Good for you Kin you are really making your recovery count
P
The caravan sounds perfect.. love it. Congratulaions on your Six years that is so wonderful.. what an achievement.. i only hope i can continue on like that too.. dong a day at a time like you too.. its hard to contemplate a lot of things so i too hold tight to just for today… so good to se eyou here again..
P
Hope things are going well for you today, i have heard of mindfulness too.. it is a good tool to help stop thinking about other things all the time and feel fully present..
I hope that you are well and happy.. see you in a group sometime soon heyP
At least you are aware that controlled gambling is not going to work and you seem to have a grasp on it, that once you start you dont stop. Its true this addiction is relentless.. whatever stage our gambling is or was at, will get worse with time. Our recovery over time will only get better.. i dont underestimate this addiction and gambling with your life is not far fetched.. gambling addiciton does kill people. Good you are here, that you are doing something about it.
