Thank you Annie and Tara for your kindness, support and understanding.
I can say with all honesty that no one has ever dragged me screaming into a casino or forced me through the doors of a betting shop. I ventured into these dens of iniquity with eyes wide open and the decision to do so was made by me and me alone.
To a certain extent I am the master of my own destiny. Admittedly there are things over which I have no control but whether or not to gamble is certainly not one of them.
Peaceful and calm on the gamcare train
Oasis of calm for my mashed up brain
A bright ray of hope makes me rejoice
I know I won't gamble because that's my choice
Hi Stephen
Hope you enjoyed the long weekend? Feeling inspired by you pointing out we make our own choices and it'S about thinking things through and making the right ones. I made the decision to quot drinking for a while and already feel better after only 1 night! So I already feel I have made a good choice. Hope all ok with you on the GF highway, take care S x
Thank you Sharon for your wisdom and support.It is indeed all about decisions and the choices we make.
It can be distressing when mind is obsessing
Strangely confused it may need refreshing
If gambling urges don't want to leave
With sadness and tears one may start to grieve
But I sit and I smile and than I rejoice
Cos I have the power to make my own choice
All I require is to have no desire and savour the essence of life
Peacefully calm and quite happy without all the trouble or strife
Saturday is here again I hear it calling me
Let's give life some meaning by staying gamble free
