- Monday, I am supposed to finally go to my first GA meeting. I am a little scared, but a good friend of mine is taking me, and he will not take no for an answer. I have gambled 3 times in a little over 2 years and a couple of months. As far as I am...
- Today was the last day with my students. It was a fabulous year, and they are great kids. I will miss them. I had so much more time to devote to them when gambling was not an option for me. I will need a lot of support over the summer because I want...
- What does it mean when it says it is a steps/comment meeting versus when it says nothing?
- I was very touched by my awesome friends at school. They offered to go with me to my first GA meeting, if it would get me there. My counselor also thinks I should go. I am considering it. Thank you for encouraging me as well.
- I am going on a church retreat this weekend to a cabin with a river, and I will be going tubing hopefully (if the water is not too cold for me). I also have basketball. Enjoy your weekend everyone and have fun enjoying yourselves in ways that do not...
- What are some things that you enjoy doing for fun, now that you don't gamble anymore?
- I used to always go to Atlantic City for Memorial Day weekend. I was thinking about that today, and it kind of made me sad. No wonder Atlantic City is having financial problems, it is because I stopped going there. Lol. I hope that you all have a...
- I have read tons of books, and I have done several workbooks on gambling addiction. What are your favorite books, email sites, workbooks, poems, songs, movies, etc... To help motivate you to beat this gambling addiction?
- I have always been too nervous to go to a GA meeting. Can someone please explain what they are like for me? The closest one is 45 minutes from my house.
- I am still working on forgiving myself for getting myself in serious gambling trouble twice. I am getting better, but I am open to any suggestions to help me with this. Thank you in advance for your help.
- It is time to focus on the positive. Everyone does a lot of things well everyday. Instead of looking at what we can't do, let's share some things we did well today, or how we helped others, or something nice that someone did for you, etc.1. One of...
- I hate it when I am doing so well and then I have a dream that I am gambling. In my dreams I usually win at least one or two jackpots. It seems so real. I wake up really slowly, and I am relieved that it did not happen for real. I hate it when my...
- Is it necessary to give up playing games on the computer if you realize that you are just substituting one addiction for another, or is it ok because it is mostly free and it is keeping my mind occupied? What are your thoughts and suggestions...
- I have a very close friend that enjoys gambling from time to time and does not have a problem. Is it fair to ask that person not to gamble just because I have a problem. She does not invite me to go because she does not want to hurt my recovery, but...
- I am going to Aruba for vacation this summer. When I planned the vacation I was still gambling and now I am not. I can't cancel the trip because we have airfare, etc... not to mention I am really looking forward to it. I am making a list of...
