Я просто хочу, чтобы вы знали, что это стихотворение во многом повлияло на мое решение бросить безумие, которое приносит азартная игра. Я мог бы написать каждое слово сам … действительно, я должен был проверить, написал ли это ты, а не я. Желаю свободы от рабства.
I just want you to know that this poem has hugely contributed to my decision to quit the madness gambling brings.
I could have written every word myself….indeed I had to check to see if it was you , not I who had written it.
I wish you freedom from the slavery.Belated Happy Birthday, Monica.
My mind kept urging me to post a greeting to you on Wednesday, 27th but you know how uncooperative your hands become when they are doing the Devil’s work!
I hope the gift and card from Pete were to your joy and satisfaction XWhat a difference 12 weeks can made, IDI!
It’s shuddering to think how things would be today if you had continued gambling.
(December 1st will be my DAY ONE)
Advent is a period of Hope and Expectation.
I have great hope for you ( and for me)Connor, the ONLY way you can prevent the remainder of your money going in the same direction as the previous lot, is to make it impossible for you to gain access to it. I would suggest that you clear out that bank account completely and put into the Post office (or some safe place where you can’t deposit from). Another option would be to transfer it to your spouse/friend/parent/sibling’s account for safe account.
Otherwise you will be looking at a 000000 balance.
I have learned this cruel fact from long experience. Bottom line, CGs can NEVER win. Once we gamble , we lose control .
Don’t rely on the notion that “things will be better next time”.
It ALWAYS ends in tears.
I write these words, hoping you will take action.
Words mean nothing to a CG.
Action speaks louder than words.
33 days without gambling is no mean feat for a compulsive gambler.
Well, done, Stephen!
Keeping the consequences in the forefront of your mind is a good move.
I hope your dad gets the treatment he needs.
When Life brings “real trouble” everything else pales into insignificance.
God bless!How did it go, Steev!
Said a “Sinner’s Prayer” for you!Safe travelling, Steev.
Stay in touch!Well done on your G free time AMG.
Sorry I left the group before we had a chance to chat.
RG’s post popped up, I clicked in to comment and when I returned, the group was over.
‘Hope you don’t think I was ignoring you!
Keep up the tremendous work.
We will meet again soon.It’s very hard to face the immediate consequences of gambling, Berta. That feeling that we have allowed ourselves to be sucked in (again) , is , for me the lowest form of regret. The only consolation is that we can have another chance. No words can describe the emptiness. I have cried many internal tears due to the self inflicted pain of gambling. In GA there is a saying “Don’t tempt or test yourself”. It’s easy to remember that in retrospect. For now , we must suffer the loss and that awful sense of futility that gambling brings.
You are not alone, Berta.
Bettie,
This is scary.
I’ve been think about you a lot over the past few days.
Sixty G -free days means you are either preventing or overcoming the urges, Berta. (By the way, I prefer to call them “itches” or “desires” because an urge is really something that has to be relieved –take a full bladder or the urge to push, in labour, for example!!) In my experience, urges only come, when they know they can be satisfied. No money=less desire to gamble. I don’t think we will forget gambling with a wave of a magic wand by I know that making gambling impossible works best. There is a saying in GA “Don’t test or tempt yourself”. Staying away from blocked sites will help. I write these words to myself as well as to you, Bertha. Stay strong. None of us will benefit from gambling,ever. Stay focused!

Congrats on the arrival of your baby.
Wonderful news .
No more gambling for you!
Well done!
Online gambling was what you used to do, Rachel!
No need to repeat the past.
Lock down all your “devices”. Plan to meet a friend.
Stay strong and you will be happy to post
“I didn’t gamble”.
Well done on posting in advance of a disaster!
