I am one who did not give my money over. In the early days I was destitute and had nothing at all, but gradually life improved. I also had no one to hand over my money to and now manage my money myself with no big temptations to gamble any more. Whilst many say it is the best thing to do, it is not the same for,all. Whilst addicted, all funds went on gambling but not any more. So don’t feel that you absolutely have to do it. There is a very small percentage who don’t. But it definitely helps in recovery if we don’t have access. As everyone so,union doesn’t fit all.
