I understand you not wanting to talk in the group sometimes things can seem overwhelming.. from what i remember i thought it was not your choice to see your son this christmas but that you were asked not to come by your ex which is no fault of your own.
I hope that you are ok John, we are all thinking of you and i hope that you manage to stay gamble free today. Just break it down to that day at a time.. Gambling has taken me to that dark place too John.. i have been here relapsing for Five years, every one of those times i have thought i am not going to make it that gambling is going to destroy me that i lost hope.. here i am writing this and i am gamble free.. all i can say is if you fall down get back up and keep on getting up no matter how many times it takes, people here read over and over and over the amount of times i relapsed, i would go on binges lasting months and months and then come back nearly dead..
John we care about you here, things will be ok, so long as you try your hardest to stop again.. just dont gamble for this hour then the next hour, start doing something else, go to the movies, or get dads it passes the time takes your mind off things, walk, talk to someone, whatever it is you like to do.. if you can get to GA meetings, I’m not sure i can’t recall if you can or not.. you are not alone in this we are all with you on this journey and i am an expert at relapsing but also an expert at getting back up.. dont let a bust send you in a spin to the bottom.. just start again.. continue on, dont worry about how many days gamble free.. just dont gamble today.. get to a meeting and some counselling, use everything you can to help yourself.. find the desire in you to get well and grab on to every resource you can, dont just use one even if you feel ok, use everything.. you need more ammunition in your recovery than in your addiction.. hoping to see you again soon and never give up on giving up..

Wonderful to see your progression in recovery and the joy of buying little things again.. its so funny i think before we gambled, would those purchases have meant as much.. i think it makes us look at the little things much more closely… way to go on your gamble free time kpat, keep going, love your posts..

What wonderful news about Dannis MS.. for him and for you.. wow that is huge news.. you must be so relieved.. and him too I’m sure.. sounds like you are doing some nice things together.. and getting along better which is nice to read, I’m happy you are happy.. i love reading of the improvements in peoples lives.. and also understand the other times too.. so good you are not gambling and the free slots are such a catch to people.. they definitely encourage gambling with money keeping that fire alive.. well done on giving them up Carole and not gambling, you are doing great..
