About Me
I am a 62 year old retired woman. Mom and grandma which I love. Gambled for over 20 years but now am on the recovery journey.Last day gambled was May 27/09. Life was hell for me on and off of gambling. I lost relationships with friends, family and my HP, also with myself. Now am connecting to all again and it is wonderful. It can be done.

Interests
Am a Grey's Anatomy and CSI fan, also love House.. Love camping although I did not do any this year. Love to play cards for fun (like Canasta, Spades and Hearts). I love to spend time with people, although I am mostly alone cause I'm very shy initially. I am also interested in Bi-polar info as I have a family member who is not managing her illness well at all.

Mary.. That 1 isle.. did you 'do your daily walking the corridors of where you live to get 'some 'endurance? some'stamina..? some 'strength with muscles. ?
Tired ? gave in..? life sucks ? , why not.? gamble. eh?
Been there done that.. too. all because I set myself up to physical expectations my body was not ready to handle. I needed more excercise to build strength .
SO simple 'excercise the body .. excercise the mind.. lol.. I learned slowly ..
Be well.. Glad you 'are Okay Today.. Sandra..

Hi there. After my wonderful 5 months gamble free I slipped and went back to the casino. I'm back here now giving this another shot. I think part me just had to see if I could gamble like a normal person and I did for a little while... way too soon though, I was right back to my old behaviors... staying too long, loosing everthing.

Close Gambling Addiction & Recovery
I am a 62 yr old grandmother. Gambled for 20 years, and have been "in recovery" since 1999. Have had 1 year in once, several 6 mos. and two 9 mos but am still at the beginning.
Treatments
- Distancing Not Working
- Can still get into casino..no body has ever approached me.
- Gamblers Anonymous Somewhat Helpful
- Spent 7 years going and coming..just couldn't find the group for me..and if I was attending regularly for a few months and didn't show up..no one ever called to see how I was doing.
