Hi p ,
I can’t access groups either and I so miss the chat –
The groups are what I really get most from on GT.
You can explain yourself if people misquote or misinterpret what you are saying.
People have to tell it as it is and not spend time overthink ing things .
I am glad you are feeling better – it is interesting that I also find three urges at worse when I am happy or relieved .
I had a chat with Monica the other night – we talked a lot about the “forbidden” stuff – losses, wins etc – and it did more for my urges than any amount of barriers , honesty , counting days etc – They just disappeared – I think it highlighted the silliness of gambling – it made gambling seem less like a forbidden fruit when I could talk about it.
Made me think maybe it’s the shame that holds us in the addiction – or perhaps the secrecy –
It might not be helpful for others – you know what’s right for you at this stage P.
Just stay strong and keep posting !
