Another week down. I am going to say something conversational now….. And you see it is only directed at me, it is not for everybody and it is not directed at anybody but myself. Anyway, i dont believe in blocks, triggers, urges or any of the mechanisms thats lead us to gamble, i only believe in the power of our own will to say no and the determination we must have to say no until the feeling has passed. I say this as a person who knows that even with every block in place i could still find a way to gamble, luckily for me i never stole or missed a bill but i was down to the wire on more than one occasion.

I just want whoever is reading to find the strenght to say no and i feel sad (and sometimes angry) when i hear people putting the blocks in place and still reverting to old habits.

Anyway, heres hoping i havnt offended anyone, just my weekly post and some thoughts running through my head.
