Hi Bettie! I was glad to see that Larry posted to you as he always has a lot of wisdom. He makes several good points and the first is that recovery allows us to participate in life, instead of sitting gambling. That to me is true recovery, to be able to enjoy the things we didn’t have the desire or patience to participate in when we were actively gambling. The second is his point that gambling is available 24/7, whereas GA meetings are on specific days and times. You work fulltime, sleep every day, and are a mother, a daughter, a friend, and do attend GA, etc. Not to mention that you have a house to clean, laundry to do, grocery shopping, etc. Don’t allow anyone through their words to take away your awesome achievements. I wish I had been there in your group when that was said. I would have definitely come to your defense. Carole
