progressive it is, I have been thinking about that a lot of late. My current gambeling problem is trading stocks over the internet on borrowed money, large trades that can turn distasterous in a second. Just yesterday I started to "sell stocks short" this is another way of trading that is much more risky, something I never even thought of doing before. Why I staretd doing this, progression of my desese, I do realize it is getting worse very fast and I do realize that if I don't do something to stop it it will eventually stop me, that, I don't want. I have put up a roadblock in my account that will not enable me to do what I have been reciently doing, this roadblock will go up on Monday. I could not sleep last night since I was thinking about how fast disaster could come to me and what would I do if it did, so today, I had to push myself to make this move toward becoming a new person, I want my life back and I have been given this opportunity, please pray for me that I can stay strong and do what is best for me. I will do the same for anyone who needs it. I am going to see if life can get progressively better. Thanks to all!!!

I have always thought of this as a disease. It will never go away. But it is certainly treatable! There is help and always hope. The one thing that has helped me is DS. The people here are truly amazing. People helping people. One day at a time.

agree completely nad I too was fooled until 1 day and pow realized i was the one we thought could never happen me .

Thanks for reminding m,e .

that yellow 'combo-book' of g.a.

that happens to me from time to time...

when i first started attending g.a. the line that struck a chord with me was "the depths of their misery were fathomless"

yeah...I knew fathomless misery...that was the only thing that I connected with for a long time.

then....from time to time (depending on what's going on with ME i think) something else will 'speak' to me....and a light bulb will go on...I will have an aha moment...

a friend of mine says "yep, that combo book just keeps getting smarter and smarter!"

LOL

I can understand why this 'new knowledge' would scare the crap out of you....

but....on the bright side...you are learning...growing...changing....
and
THAT is what this is all about :)

love to you (((emma)))

I would agree that is progressive! They also say that it's the worst addiction that there is!

Progressively ruining my life, progressively getting deeper in debt, progressively betting more, progressively making my life worse, and progressively getting better since I quit!!!
