Hi taffy59, way to go 🙂

Great job paying it forwards 🙂

Do you mind me asking, do you still have urges? I'm currently treating my addiction like an allergy & have plans afoot to visit a GA room should I start to plateau - @ the moment, I'm doing ok but I have a lot to learn!

Keep winning by choosing No - ODAAT

Hi taffy59,

Welcome to the Forum, you and the many people on here who have been able to stop gambling, are a moltivation to those who want to stop. You are a proff that people can stop.

Well done for deciding to help others, and I am sure you will be of a great help for many on here, as ODAAT has noticed. There are questions that some people would love to have answers for, and having been able to stop gambling, you maybe able to guide them.

We also run a live chatroom everyday between 8pm and 9pm, you can also join the chatroom and support others.

We have a forum etiquette and people who join our forun read and observe them, and I am sure you have, and so will be a great asset to people here.

Again you are welcome.

Regards

Florence (Forum Admin)
