About Me
last day gambled-07-27-07 I believe in a "tough love", "no nonsense", "get to work" type of recovery program. That's me, that's what worked for me, and that's the type of thing you're likely to see on my profile and journal. I've been told, sometimes, that I'm a bit harsh, maybe too "brutally honest", perhaps even "insensitive". This may be true....but I have not gambled for over two years.....and I 'm here to stop gambling and find a way to stay stopped, not to have my feelings "stroked". So, for me....it works, if I work it.
