Change in Character

View More Posts Ignore
As your thoughts become more clear, consider the fact that the ultimate goal might not be to quit gambling. Maybe the ultimate goal is to make that change in character. Being an honest, caring, and dependable human being is an insulation from all addictions. Gambling, drinking, drugs, sex, etc, etc, etc. When our character changes, we become very powerful and can change our lives and lead. Food for thought.

" Hi Bbird - I definitely agree that we become "different people" when we gamble. I think of me being the Freudian "ID" character with the reptilian brain taking control. Thank goodness that's not the "real me".

Someone once said, "Temptation resisted is a true measure of character." "

" Well, golly gee, nobody said anything about having to give up sex as a prerequisite for joining this group?!? (tee, hee).

Sorry folks...just couldn't resist. I'll go find that filter now! Seems the one I'm using has seen better days.

Have a spirited day! Make it count (in the good column).

Be well. "
