To live, that would be a great adventure – Peter Pan
I haven’t posted to your thread in a while but I do read and enjoy your post; they are quiet beneficial. When I first started here and at GA I wondered why all the talk about things happening and not recovery; I needed to know what to do, not something about someones private affairs. I soon learned that this was an important part of recovery; knowing that there was a life outside the one governed by addictions offered encouragement for me to continue. Yours, and the journaling of others, about the struggles before us and the benefits that await is part of what keeps programs like this working.
I found the ways and means for me to stay gambling free and work my recovery in the same meetings and post, but, first I had to see the reason behind my desire to recover; that to live life would be great adventure. I am happy that you and others have found the way to live life as well, and not just endure or cope with it, or perhaps even just elude it, while in the grasp of our addictions.
God’s speed. Stay strong.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT, "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free.
