Hi

The Barriers are there to help me help myself.

The Barriers are there to stop me causing myself and others further pains and suffering.

Once I am able to abstain then the work starts to exchange unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.

As my actions and words become healthier I m able to get clarity and focus in my life.

By me being more productive I start to build up my confidence and fear reduces so I do not feel so susceptible.

For me as an addict going back to gambling undermines me and I start to self destruct myself. 

The money was only the fuel to a destructive pattern of behaviour. 

Please look after your self and do not give in when you are feeling emotionally vulnerable.

The time and effort you put in to your recovery is self rewarding over time.

Please stay connected to like minded people.

Love and peace to every one.

Hi

8 days clean of gambling is clean tiem that can not be lost.

If you stick with the recovery program you can achieve so much more with your life.

From very small acorns big trees grow.

Stick with your recovery you are worth it.

Living life with healed pains and fears reduced is so precious.

Love and peace to every one

Hi

It is useful to have a meeting telephone list so you can share with some one if you feel vulnerable.

Clean days can not be lost.

Love and peace to everyone
