Good to see you are beginning to look at the sinister side of gambling and addiction in general, Jo. It sure is scary! I have a story I can’t post here, but I can tell you it doesn’t get much worse than what happened to one family who are still haunted by gambling….
Anyway, as Janey commented on another thread (in response to my “tongue in cheek” post to another GT user) it is all about Personal Accountability. We, of course will empathize and sometimes even identify with other CGs but in my experience we need to stand back. CGs (me, for one) love chaos. The more tall stories I heard about other CGs, the more I would think ” I’m not as bad as that!” or even, maybe, “Am I REALLY a CG at all?”….The mind plays tricks on us. Whereas we do need to see the widespread effects of gambling , we should not allow it to prevent us from focusing on “THIS CG-ME!”
You will read lots of success stories here Jo. Focus on the positive. Not the negative.
Just for today……keep it simple!
