Hi Linda,
I have been a reader and contributor to this site for over a year now. I have been on the merry- go- round of stop, feel great, get back on, feel good for awhile, run out of money, stop, feel great... blah blah.. For every contributor there is a "story" and a method for getting off and staying off the merry go round. I think we all eventually learn in our own time what our story was, is, and will be because we are hopefully learning every day. The recovery road itself is a constant series of twists and turns ups and downs just like life. Never a straight line. So, what am I saying with this ramble? I too struggle continuously to abstain and maintain. Some days I just cannot stand to read or write. I want to zone out. I cannot always find the energy to support others because at times I feel so lost and frustrated myself. Gambling on slots offered me that "out" but, at what price and I always wound up at the same place: Good morning it's Groundhog Day! I can't win anything because I cannot stop. I know you know all of this. I am just reading and relating and sending you my support hun. I wish I could offer more. I really get it. That's all. -joanxxx
Hi all and thank you all so much for taking the time to leave those messages. I have read each and everyone over and over and can honestly say I am overwhelmed by the support and encouragement I received today.
Once I get my laptop sorted I will take the time to respond properly but just know that I will not be gambling anytime soon. Mainly thanks to you all.
I will be going away for a bit soon but I will respond properly when I get back.

From me huge sense of pride in seeing how amazing the support upon this forum is.
A dear friend of this forum wrote many times that to truly recover you have to give recovery away, you my dear friend do that in shovels
Keep making the right choice,for it be very proud.
Most of all enjoy it
Duncs stepping forward never back.
