Can't afford to Fail

NT.

It may be what gambling does to a decent human being but it is not acceptable behaviour and should not be so readily forgiven.

Are there no limits to our automatic forgiveness?

I hope you can forget and move on NT.

You have been a good friend and I have nothing but admiration for you.

Stay focused, stay strong. BE HAPPY.

All the best Sally.
Keep remembering. Gambling is not your problem it is your solution.

I know this process is going to be hard with the anxiety difficulties you have talked about. But what i have seen from your posts is a strong honest women with intelligent opinions (mostly 🙂 ) who can do this.

Take your time, i constantly made knee j**k reactions on my emotions for many years. Keep those blocks in place, try to practice honesty & the mind will start to be able to process things more logically in time.

I wish you well

Hi Sally,

Never wrote to you before but read your posts. Very well done on your ongoing journey. You're one great strong soldier wanting to succeed. We all have right to do so, it all comes down the choice.
I see you already made ur mind up about using the forum....now...just heart to heart - don't go! Just don't go cause this can put you in very insecure place.
We do clash on here time to time..we all have our own opinions. As NT said, you need to look after no 1!
The post we all mention has cut deep with us...it is the reality..the compulsive gamblers reaction to the fall...hell...i had so many of those and even if i never voiced myself out loud about how i feel about world on those days..i truly felt it...
We can only get help if we accept one. Let it be professional or just supportive on here. We need to help ourselves and know our limits.

Now...i see today has hurt you..it did me...and even if it stopped me from posting how "great i felt" when finally felt go
fog lifting nearly a week later...i didn't let the post to affect my day. I had a calm day..just celebrating my own little goal personally...yes i shared few smiles and thoughs with fellow guys outside the forum walls and yes ..it felt right.

It all comes down to personal choice. If ya accept help and support - the road opens up.
I want ya to follow the right road..
.we do get emotional here but WE have to put orselves 1St also. ..such is recovery...sometimes as selfish as gambling itself.

Stay well..keep fighting...and hopefully - posting.
