Hi
The recovery program is not a battle you fight with in your self.
The recovery program was a form of surrendering to the simple fact I was being unhealthy time and time again.
The recovery program helps you learn to abstain from unhealthy habits.
In time you get to understand your emotional triggers.
My emotional triggers were pains I could not heal.
My emotional triggers were my fears I could not face or reduce.
My emotional triggers were frsutrations due to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situatioins.
My emotional triggers were boredom in time I wrote down my needs my wants and in time new found goals.
My emotional triggers were due to my feelings of loneliness due to my fears of havin emotional intimacy with other people.
The like minded people in the recovery program would give therapies that help me understand more about my self.
The therapies helped reduce my fears and my trust grew in the meetings.
The addictions and obsessions were just a form of escape for me in my fears.
On walking in to the recovery program I even thought that I loved gambling.
Silly me I did not love gambling it was fear based andrenaline tha gave me that kind of high.
The bigger the risk the bigger the high.Â
By going to meeting I learned to abstain from gambling.
By going to meeting I learned to hand over my finances.
By going to meeting I learned to heal my hurt inner child.
By going to meeting I learned to live my life with out any fears what so ever.
Healing peace and love

Hi Dave. Are you a spiritual yet non religious person?
@ypqtmho91z Yes
My spirtual values are a consequence of having a healthy conscience that I listen to.

Was your hurt inner child not healed?
The wording recovery program means to heal our pains.
I was a very lonely inadequate inept insecure person that lived in so many fears.
I now understand that pains in my past not healed caused fears in me that I did not understand.
With out my addictions and obsessions I live a much healthier life today.
Healing love and peace to every one.

Like minded people in the rrecovery helped me understand that we learn to ohelp our self.
For me wording right wrong good or bad is not about recovery.
For me recovery and exchanging unhealthy habits in to healthy habits and living with out is empowering.
How much was I willling to invest in to finding a much healthier life today.
Affected by gambling?
