Prison - Insanity - Death
If I continue on this path, one of the 3 choices will be all I have left.
Prison -- Not an option
Insanity -- I'm working on this now
Death -- Well, its coming "by reason of insanity" if I dont do something now
Just being brutally honest here... I see it coming. I see myself going crazy. Yes, I do have many other stressful things going on in my life right now, but this addiction is what will throw me over the edge --- IF I LET IT.
Note to self --- Don't let it!!!!

Gee Shelia, you are a wreck. What is going on? Maybe you should start going to GA meetings and get involved with others who are trying to beat the addiction. You were a couple months ago, so on track. I know you have had stress and sadness but why can\'t you see the good part? You have a great job, I think. You have lovely daughters and if they are having problems in their lives now, it\'s natural but it\'s their life. You have a nice house to live in and lots of hobbies. I don\'t know, what I am saying is try and concentrate on the positives and rejoice in them. I wish I could help you. hugs and love Barb
Hold tight, find your strengh. I know what you are going through- I am there too. But I like my life better when gambling doesn\'t have the upper hand. You are bigger than gambling..
I understand what you are saying here....when you really look at the CONSEQUENCES, it gets serious. I took that look a little over 2 yrs ago, and decided I couldn\'t accept what was coming my way if I stayed on the path I was on....and I quit gambling. My life has not been carefree since then, but it is immeasurably better than it would have been if I had not quit when I did!
Yes, the addiction can throw you over the edge...but I see you standing there saying \"NO\"....saying you are not going there!
Stand strong, my friend. You CAN walk away from the abyss.
Reaching out to a support group does sound like a very good idea right now....GA????....online meetings on Safe Harbour? Grab something to help anchor you. As always, I and your other friends are here to listen and lend support.
Big Hugs, Dianne
Sometime\'s good to face brutal facts - gives you strength. Keep strong, be positive and look foward.
Sheila, what\'s happening?? I know that you have had a lot of stress lately, of course, but I also know you are very strong and you can get past this. I\'m thinking of you, girl, and sending positive thoughts your way - you can overcome this!!!!! I saw your new goal - you\'re on your way again. Stay strong!
It\'s not worth losing your self in this crazy addiction. Take care and let us know how you are doing and how we can help....
Hugs,

You\'ve have faced the facts. You know what can happen. Tuck these things away and use them for strength to get through this. You can do it!! Have a little faith in yourself, I know I have faith in you! Peace and Love. Patty
