You may say I'm a dreamer.
But i'm not the only one.

Reasons to be greatfull. Having friends/ family telling me things I really don't want to hear!!
What an excellent post and I agree 100%. I realised just how lonely, unhappy and self-loathing I was to make me start gambling and then get addicted to it. Like you say the money, in time, can be re-saved and re-earnt but unless we take time to care for ourselves and deal with the underlying problems the improvements and progress will be minimal at best.
Good luck to everyone
For some an original thought can be just as lonely as the addict in denial!
Silence has it...
Arrogance has it....
Wrapped up in solitude like Howard Hughes.....
The friends of addiction. ...
Solitude says it all V because any addiction that involves solitude is simply not healthy, Xxxs ( but any and every addict does know that inside no matter what their addiction is) because once addicted for real we know we are ????? and I can't answer that one, (not yet, she says positively) xxxx
Until I learn to accept my reward...
Paul, maybe it's about finding what that reward is x
