Hi larry,
Just wanted to thank you for your support in my diary and to offer my best for the New year ahead.
One of the many things i trully admire about how you work your recovery is your total focus and dedication. You seem to read people’s posts with great thought and care, almost with a forensic examination. You then pick out the salient points to reflect back to the author with your observations. I also note that you do this consistently and over time.
I think that this is a great quality to posses and develope in recovery.. that being the ability to train ones mind to read to understand to think to focus to reflect to imagine and to learn from and through the experiences of others as well as ones own experinces.
I guess these skills are something that we all posses but from my own perspective something that i don’t do nearly enough. It is something i want to work on and will work on. It so easy to become lazy in thought and action. The dream world of the compulsive gambler is certainly something that I relate to. So easy to idle away time thinking about doing but not actually doing.
Anyway thanks again for your support larry. I take your thoughts on board thats for sure. keep doing what you do to keep yourself safe from gambling.
Kind regards
Tim Taking life one day at a time as always.
