I really do not know what to write in this blog but I think it could be a good thing to put down my thoughts and feelings in print so I can compare at a later date, and what better way to start than my 1st day on here!
So today then...I am feeling positive today I have been back at GA since the beginning of September this year after a few crazy months of going off the rails, I have been attending GA on and off for 5/6 years and since coming back in September I have been struggling to feel like myself again and get on a road to recovery. it just feels like I have been off a bet as opposed to being free from a bet, if that makes any sense at all! However in the last few weeks I have felt the obsession to gamble being lifted from me, and I am starting to have the ability to live a normal life e.g carry money, read newspapers that sort of thing, but I know I have been here before and I need to begin the programme, I don't know why that thought scares me I know in my heart that the programme will help improve my life and start me off on a great passage of self discovery, yet I still have a little fear in me.
Sorry for rambling and hope that made even a little bit of sense to anyone who may have read it!






It's good to ramble - ramble away. This is what will really help recovery - Honesty - especially with yourself.
GA is a really good support. I know in my experience it is and I miss it when I can't attend. There I know I find people who can totally understand me. I hope you find the same. Get connected again - we all need the support. Quitting gambling is hard and staying quit is harder.
I'm Sue BTW - I placed my last bet in May this year and so have been GF for 6 1/2 months. I started my recovery about 1 year ago and have had ups and downs. Every day i haven't gambled is better than my best day gambling. I can say that now - was I scared to begin the journey again? Yes I was scared of failing. Now I just take it one day at a time.
Hugs to you and yes you make sense.
