Just heard a radio item on a book called; The power of habit by Charles Duhigg
The radio interview went on for half an hour but even that short appraisal of the book was inspirational when related to gambling addiction and risky financial behaviour
I just thought it might be a good start for us

Hi
It was important for me to exchange my unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
I would consider my self as being an adrenaline J****E on walking in to the recovery program.
Being an adrenaline J****E was about risk taking which put my self and others at risk.
I did not value or respect my self.
Only when I could respect my self could I respect other people.
Only when I could love my self could I love other people.
I now understand that I feared so much in my life.
The hurt inner child in me lived in fear of being hurt.
In the recovery program as we shared our honest therapies my fears reduced and my trust issues grew.
In the recovery program I learned that my fears restricted me from healthy loving emotional intimacy.
Only once I got to understand my emotional triggers could I do some thing about them.
My unhealthy reactions to life people and events was very unhealthy.
All the pains in my life caused in me a large number of fears that limited me from living a healthy life.
I sat one day and started to write down each of my fears, that was very powerful for me.
I gave each of my fears a number out of ten, ten being the highest level of fears.
In time I got to understand I could reduce my fears with out even healing the pains that caused those fears.
How much do I honesty value my life and my health.
Love healing and peace to every one.
