  Hum not so sure I like the new format...but....guess the advertisments are needed....anyway I am glad for the opportunity to share my recovery with so many of you. It always give me a warm feeling to see someone post about their starting down the no gambling path. It is well worth the effort to get your life back... When I first decided to quit gambling all that I saw was a very large mountain that I knew needed to be climbed but didn't know how...found out it is just one step at a time and no...

  If I remember correctly there was about 570 members in our group when I joined now about 620. There are some members who are longtime gambling free but a lot of the few days to a few months...got to thinking about that and realized that when you first start out on this journey of stopping gambling that we need a lot of support and hand holding...Not that that is bad because without support it is beyond tough to walk this road. I am thankful for everyone who has held my hand and gave me support...

  Just for funnies I looked up the root word for addiction It comes from Latin addico, which means, amongst other things, "to devote", so anaddict is someone who is (excessively) devoted to something. Uhh that says it all, but I always considered devoted meant love...I am devoted to my wife and I love her...might be why it was so tough to come to the realization that I was/am a gambling addict. When we got married it was for better or worse when you are a gambling addict it is for better...
