Hi Bear, currently in Turin at Europa Cup final I checked in here as I missed my weekly GA meeting. Anyway back to my beginning I currently am not taking anti axiety medication but did take it for 5 months and to be honest it was brilliant. My counsellors in rehab did say stay on it for awhile and come off in 6 months and then you will know if you have an axiety problem. Seems I don't but when I was gambling I was in a never ending circle of worry and gambling on that worry causing more worry. Nuts but that was me I do think now this had a big part to play in me not getting any recovery of real worth. I don't know if I will gamble tomorrow but at least I am now worrying about things which did not help. Its bloody hard to stop gambling and at times I would in a heart beat but at least today I did not gamble.

fella it is testament to how much the choice of recovery means to you my friend.
For me the pain of those recent losses,the self loathing and misery it gifts not to mention the financial woes.
Build upon your days fella.
You are doing something that gambling will never gift us,by stopping the destruction we really do become winners.
Enjoy it
