Prayers answered Cat!
G-free Day so far!
G free May!Thinking of you Carole!
Stay in touch!TODAY, May ist, 2014, I will not gamble!
(thanks Cat)I forget/can’t figure out how to start a new topic. I think I read somewhere that Cat is not starting a MAY Pact? Maybe I dreamt it.
Anyway its the 1st day of May here on this side of the world so maybe a new beginning is in order.
Every day is a New Day but May 1st is SPECIAL!
Here’s to a G free day.
I’m glad to see the back of April!
It wasn’t a G free month for me!
(I have to go to the hospital for tests on Friday. Dreading it . I HATE hospitals and I hate forking out money for tests. Private health insurance is a joke!)“Actions are louder , it really is true
So rather than words think, “What can I do?”
…………………………………………………………..
I can quash the first thought
I can “stomp on the bug”
Postpone the next bet
and withdraw from the “drug”
I can then call a friend
Tell them what I intend
And remind myself always
Where gambling will end!
Do things differently
Look for new company
Be accountable, honest,
To you and to me
I can hand over cash
Put credit cards in the trash
Surrender my car keys
Go down on my knees
To pray or scrub floors
Whatever it takes
To keep me from making
More stupid mistakes!
Examine the tools
That I got from GT
To find out which one
Today is for me
I have no more excuses
To use fancy words
It’s time now for ACTION

(GAMBLING IS FOR NERDS!)I hear you Madge!
Life can be tough.
Marriage is not easy.
Despite addiction.
Its all about give and take.
Better or worse (If you have taken marriage vows)
It seems we either have to give all or give nothing.
Stay or leave…
Can you stay and give all , or will you walk away?
Only you can decide.
(just my present thoughts to let you know you have been heard)Bettie, I hear you on Jen’s move to Georgia triggering gambling urges, but “forewarned is forearmed!” You know now , what you didn’t know then.
Gambling doesn’t cure loneliness.
Gambling won’t stop her moving.
Gambling won’t bring her back!Glad to see you starting a Thread in the Family and Friends Forum, DK!
Remember we met in the chat a few nights ago?
You will get lots of support and answers from people in a similar position to your own. The weekends are often quiet , but hang in here and keep posting!
Take care!Good to see you posting on Ed’s thread, R 2 C!
You haven’t been around for a while!!
Usually when a CG “disappears”it is not a good sign.
Whatever the reason for your absence, I’m glad to see you back here and I hope you will continue your recovery
ODAAT from now on!Great to meet you in the chat yesterday Looby!
Hope your son enjoys the holiday with the family!
The break will be good for all of you!Everything ok Carole?
‘Haven’t seen you around for a few days!Thinking of you over the Easter weekend B!
‘Hope you got a sugar free Easter egg or some nice treat!Good to hear Easter went well for you Lizbeth!
Shame on your daughter for upsetting you again!
My youngest son specializes in that carry on!
He was here for the weekend. Behaved VERY well, UNTIL I was dropping him back tonight and he let fly in the car (always picks places where I can’t walk away) and roared and swore at me in front of my other son and his girlfriend.
I told him to cut out the drama and stop embarrassing himself.
Luckily, I didn’t end up in the casino like I used to in the past as a reaction to his behaviour.
It takes two to tango!Happy Easter P!
Thinking of you especially this weekend!
