Idi, you never lecture so,don’t worry about that. I am getting it about GA. It is not an Ok environment for women problem gamblers. I am the only woman who goes consistently. Women have come and gone. I agree with you. I have reflected on it today. I definitely do not go with the character flaws so never will go beyond step three. How,I see myself is as someone who had a very hard time with a good life pre cancer and never recovered. Gambling was my suicide as I am so against doing it physically but completely understand people who do get to that point of despair. It has nothing whatsoever to do with character flaws. I think that is garbage and can’t go with it. MAy fit the arrogant male but the females are far from arrogant. Quite the opposite. I think the right services for women are not yet there.
Your idea about having a plan of hope and recovery is brilliant. I wrote a schedule of things to do in the week. It is still not too energetic as my energy levels are t right not surprisingly. I am going to see if I can go to my daughters the tail end of next week, it is my birthday on the 27th. If I carry on with the steps i will have a breakdown. GA is outdated, very much so developed by pious men for men. They would probably call us fallen women. I have always led a spiritual life. Just that life took a big dive, and i did t recover. Love your idea idi.
