Welcome back Lethe aka HL.
Your input was missedb on this forum. I sometimes think any Fr & Fa need safety in numbers when you cross over to the sometimes toxic recovery or other sides of the forum.
I think your well versed in how some of us CG'S can show our immaturity and not like being told how it is. I'm proof in the pudding in my needless little spats....
It always makes me smile when ever I read that either yourself or CW don't know what it's like to be a addict. I would wholeheartedly beg to differ and say, albeit not by choice but that you know a lot more about the workings of an active addict or and one in denial.
I trust your well and the other half of HL is doing well.
Hi, V,
We don't feel the compulsion, we just get to watch it in operation.
GA?
All the best.
CW
Hi Paul
Thanks for your kind words 🙂 Good to see you and your quirky take on things back too 🙂
Very true I didn't choose to discover as much as I have about gambling and addiction. If someone had told me a few years back I'd have been here typing this I wouldn't have believed them but I am where I am and it is what it is.
Mr HL is doing well and remaining gf as far as I can tell. He's just had his two year pin at GA having missed out on the three year one by a week or so due to an inexpicable small change FOBT incident a few months down the line but again it is what it is.
Echo CW. How about GA for you?
Thanks for the post...And it feels great that I have someone following my post's for all those years!! I would just like to mention that the old client to this website was much better....I really cannot navigate this site (could be age related). I am feeling much better lately. I can remember sitting in the Sauna in my second year of UNI after training thinking 'why am I feally so fatigued' I should have been feeling refreshed after training....Therefore I changed my diet and everything improved....I managed to stop gambling for two years....I was also tee total during that time....I believe much of the compulison comes from poor choices. I have to cut back on everything to get ahead...It works because I have already tried it...A Psychological perspective is 'If you are not in control of your body, you are not in control of your mind'...
.Thanks again...
However, I am much older now....And sometimes life feels an upward struggle....Slowly I am running out of energy...I need to conserve and reserve everything that I earn from now onwards...I just dont feel as motivated as I used to...Anyone else?
Affected by gambling?
