About Me
54 year old male now 6 months free from gambling..That is Sharon in the pic on July 4th of 2007..She is the one thing that I lost from gambling well lying about my gambling that was enough..the cost became way too high..to lose someone I love so much, actually the love of my lifetime geesh..she was a precious friend, lover, confidant, fishing buddy and most of all the real deal of a Cristian.who goes out and disciples via street evangelism..she stood by me in sickness.and showed me such true love as I have never known..I miss her every day. Few moments go by that I do not think about her..our lost love and future together as man and wife with God at our side...for that I will never gamble again...

Prayer
Terry - I read one of you comments to a post earlier today and I wanted to share something with you. My last day gambling was memorial day and last Sunday in church my pastor was addressing her own battle with depression and compulsion. She said that when she needs strength she repeats these words to herself "The Lord is my Shepard -- I have everything I need". I have found this statement to be a good reminder to me of just how much I have in my life and also to remind me just how much I have to lose. Sending you prayers and much positive energy.

Terry, I will say a pray for you today. What reat news about Sharon. Just work hard on staying GF. She still cares for you but hates gambling. I love my husband more than anything but I would not be able to remain with him if he kept up this horrible addiction. It was killing him...and the lies were killing our relationship. Do you read your Bible? Studying Gods word has help me so much. And my husband and I read our daily Upper Room together. Today it is on Truth, Mercy and Freedom...You can pull it up on the internet at www.upperroom.org. It has short daily devotionals and you can even pull the bible verse up by clicking on the verse. It has helped us so much.
You are in my prayers and congrats on your new road to recovery...

Hi terry, there you are! I was wondering how you were doing, then you posted a comment in a discussion. "Big boy underpants"....that's so funny...lol
Hug
Just wanted to say thank you for your reply to my discussion post - it really hit home with me. Fortunately I was able to fight off the urges for one more day and stay away from the casinos. I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with gambling, but I'm glad that you shared it with me because it was exactly what I needed to hear. I needed to be reminded of why I absolutley need to remain gamble free, if not for myself...but for my boyfriend and other loved ones. He would be devastated if I succombed to this addiction again so I have to do whatever I can to fight it, for both of us... Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement. It REALLY helped me today. Hugs, Rachel
Moment of Peace
I know your pain. I have had to start over many times. I am only on week 3. And I am constantly reminded of how many of us go right back out there. I feel for you and hope you can forgive yourself and move on.
