This Geordie guy is reading my thoughts and pre empting my moves, T…
I ve been thinking of checking in in you too!
Strength in numbers!Hi Geordie!
Just a brief post . I was in Wicklow for the day so in case you think I have taken another "nose dive", I havent!
Going into Day 2 G-free….
Been thinking about my triggers and have discovered a few…
Been thinking about the "weed" and saying I would suggestto you to look up some helpline to deal with that, but you’ve done it already…dying to hear how it works but this post is brief..
You asked how I had access to so much money…
my salary goes in every fortnight to the bank.even though I have huge debt re payments things were building up nicely because my son got over 4 grand SW back money which he owed me and I got nearly 3 grand back tax and I was keeping that for my daughter’s holiday plus I need major dental work which I ve been postponing ….
Suffice to say that my bank balance does not reflect these wind falls today, and I will have to keep my lips sealed for another few years!
I don’t know whether to scream, vomit or tear my hair out when I realise what I did, but what would be the point.
One thing I do know, is that I wont be attempting to get cashback from Dr Quirkey or any other measly low life scumbag casino owner. I was going to say" May they all rot in **** " but they wont print that here….
In short I am disgusted with myself………….
I am praying for your parents, G and for your goodself…for Serenity, courage, wisdom, and of couse AWARENESS!
Enjoy your trip Lizbeth…take care!
What a breath of fresh air to read thet positive story Levi!
I always knew you could turn your life around and you have!
Well done!Hoops, I just read your first post on this thread. I did exactly the same, money wise , yesterday. What in God’s name do we expect when we put ourselves in a situation where we take money from one hole (ATM) and stuff it into another?
It just is not logical by any normal standard . Im even scared when I put a few euro in a parking machine in case it doesn’t issue a ticket and yet I will put a few thousand in a machine and expect (at least) to get my money back!
Like you, I banned yesterday in that new money spinner venue.
Another rich man disappointed by my absence!GOOD FOR YOU HOOPS!
Doesn’t it give us a good feeling when we turn our back on chaos and face the order in our lives..( even if they are somewhat disordered)!!
Everythime we make a choice such as you made, Hoops, we gain strength in recovery.
Every time we make the "bad" choice, we grow weaker and recovery soon becomes a remote dream.
I have learned two things hee!
Number one: Nothing good comes from gambling.
Number 2: Laura is an angel in disguise!
How do you feel today Philip?
The beginning of recovery brings mixed emotions and some confusion.
Try to make SIMPLE plans and stick to them, one at a time, one day at a time.
CGs thrive on CHAOS!Hi Kathryn!
It must be coming up to your 2nd anniversery soon. We met when my sister passed away two year ago next Friday. RIP!
Time flies Kathryn!
Unfortunately, instead of using that time, I am wasting it AGAIN!
DAY ONE!!!!You are on my mind a lot Larry!
Hoping and praying that all is ok for you!still dont get it B!
I dont quite get it B!
Did you share what was said at GA here in GT or visa versa?
Confidentiality in groups worries me. Thats one of the reasons Im wary of GA! How do I know I wont meet a member at work who might just innocently blurt out where they met me?
We can develop hang ups about breaking rules B and thats the problem of the "hangup owner" not of the person who makes us feel this way..
Be yourself B. If you are not yourself who are you?
Keep posting!will write later B…Im in Twilight zone…between day and night duty…cheers!
OK KATHRYN!
you have two choices!
To gamble or not to gamble!
I had those same choices to make recently…
I FREELY chose the first one!
WRONG CHOICE!
some people say there is no right and wrong. I disagree!
We have to face the consequences of our choices!
Start by thinking of the consequences Kathryn and it will keep you on the right track.
Did you read the Gift for today that Ken sends by e mail?
The Tightrope?
hold out your arms and balence!
I KNOW you wont give in K!
I always WANT to gamble!Thanks for your post Kathryn!
Part of me is back but I still feel I have left a big part in so many wrong places!
Cheers!
