Hi Bettie, I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. One thing is for sure re; your job. things change, or as my mother in law used to say "the worm turns" … your coworker might be up this month, and next month it could be you. Or as they say about the weather here in Wyoming. don’t like it? Wait five minutes and see what comes up.
You are so right about gambling being the medication for a cg. I know I have a living problem that gambling brought to my attention. It isn’t always easy, I might slip, but I have my feet firmly on the ground and I know I’m finished taking it blindly.
Be well, friend,
ChristinamarychristinamaryParticipantHi Bettie – first off, please accept a great big cyber hug from me! HHHUUUGGGG! And next, I am convinced some sort of trauma, either historical or present, can trigger the gambling compulsion. Gambling helps us tamp it down, but doesn’t heal it or help us be aware. Being in recovery is damn hard work, not for the faint of heart- but it is worth it to recover soul. God bless you!
christinamaryParticipantWell Bettie, when you’re typing you can’t eat! And I think a diary is a good way to process feelings. type away! At least you are not gambling. Nice to see you on chat tongith!
christinamaryParticipantBettie – I hope you made it to the chiro, got a massage and a pedicure so you’ll be ready for the party with your friend. Go! So you’re not as thin as you were in ’92? So what? I’m not, either. Have fun!
christinamaryParticipantIt was nice to chat with you all for a few minutes. Thank you for the support. It really does me good to see that people can stay clean for a very long time. We just have to make up our minds, hmmm…
Mind made up,
CMchristinamaryParticipantI love that "my soul is back" gambling does suck the soul right out of people. Merry Christmas!
