No Matter when my last bet was I kept going to meetings. If I needed more than one meeting per week I went to meetings. Recovery meetings helped me abstain from unhealthy habits and helped me heal the hurt inner child in me..

Hi

I did not understand how emotionally vulnerable I use to be.

I did not understand how much pain I was causing my self.

I did not understand how much fear stress anxiety and panick I was livingin.

I am a non religious person and have been going to meetings for over 50 years.

Gambling never hurt me, I hurt my self.

Gambling establishments never lied to me, lied to my self to my family and my freinds.

Gambling establishments were places I use to escape to when I could not cope emotionally.

Gambling establishments were places I use to go to give all my hard earned money away to complete strangers.

Gambling establishments were places I went to self abuse my self.

Just for today I do not want or need to gamble it is unhealthy for me to do that.

Healing Love and peace to every one.

AKA Dave of Beckenham

Just for today Gambling establishments were places I
