Hey Jim, Man I like your plan. You are an articulate and perceptive person. Now is the time to put those plans into place and it sounds like you have started with a flurry. I particularly like point 6. because helping others will be soooooo rewarding and the bonus will be it will help you with your own recovery. I have thought about doing something like that as well because let’s face it a gambler knows a gambler. The one thing that has stopped me is I am worried about people at work finding out that I am a recovering gambler. Maybe as time goes on and the pain lessens I will not feel so ashamed and won’t mind who knows my story. Anyway, I respect you for starting this chapter of your life. Good job. Cheers Sadbuttrue
