My partner needed the toilet nearest place was arcade/gambling slots place I Adrised her to just go in and put some money in a use the toilet. I feel I’ve done wrong even though my partner dose still have a gamble witch doesn’t bother me as I’m over a year gamble free. I just feel I need someone to tell me I haven’t done nothing wrong.

Hi
Often in recovery people find it hard to let go of the emotional tie to gambling.
Some people who are in recovery will some times watcgh others because theya re still emotionally tied to gambling.
A person who sits and watches shares on the market and is unable to let go because they are still obsessed about the rise and falls emotionally.
The question was I emotionally tied to the bet.
If a person hands over money to another person to invest and is not emotionally tied and does nto watch the trading market is nto emotionally attached the trading.
Some people will even hate another person for gambling because they are nto abel tog amble them self.
If it is not our money and we are not emotionally tied we have not gambled.
I will now and again go to Las Vegas and watch people gambling as I pass through the Casinos.
For me I do not get emotionally involved yet in people faces I will often see the despair I use to feel in myself.
After I lost all of my money could I admit to my self to the pains I was causing myself.
Could I admit to my self to the fears I was causing myself.
How many times did I emotionally traumatize mysef and not even be able to understand or process the suffering i was in.
I use to blame every one and every thing for the pains was causing myself.
By me getting honest with my self and wising up I would then exchange most of my unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
Only once I got wise about my self and wanted to change would it happen.
The honest and therapies helped me get wise about myself.
Recovery is not about who is right or worng but more about what is healthy or unhealthy.
Love and peace to every one
