Thanks C-Noel for your post. I think that going to GA and setting barriers, and coming here and accepting the help and advice from other CG’S have helped me tremendously with my recovery. I have gambled several times during my over 4 years here on GT. I came back here every time and started working towards my recovery again. I still have urges from time to time but I have been able to get through them without gambling. I will always be a CG! I try to live my life in a positive way. C-NOEL, I never thought that I would be able to have a gamble free life till I came to GT. I am still working on issues that have lead to my gambling addiction. I think that it is a ongoing process. Today, I am feeling much better. I have made it to the gym the last 3 days and plan on going the next 2 days. I am still not 100% but getting there.
