- I officially signed up to join this site over a year ago. I had been lurking for quite some time before I did sign up.I remember one of the many discussions we had here at that time was about quitting gambling for Lent. Several people had mentioned...
- There is a new phone number to call for the Wednesday night GA Telephone Meeting that CherBear first shared with us in October 2014. The new number is 605-562-3140. The conference id# is still the same - 611704#. For more information on this...
- I was thinking that since we are starting a New Year and it is January 1, that I would start a topic on the 12 Steps of Gamblers Anonymous. I would like to every month in the first week list the step that correlates to that month, i.e. January-Step...
- My day started out with our little Yorkie getting in a fight with our bigger dog that is a Blue heeler/collie mix. Our female is in heat, and our little Yorkie thinks he is much bigger than he is, and actually started the fight. Unfortunately he...
- I did it! I have passed my 30 day mark of not gambling!! - - - That was the easy part. Now for the hard part. The first 30 days were easy for me, always have been when I have decided to quit. I have quit for 30 days more times than I can count. ...
- I am now 16 days gamble free. Today has been a lazy day and depressed day. No money to go Christmas shopping with all the black Friday deals, due to my gambling and a lot of extra bills. Kids have all asked if we were going shopping and I have...
- I have a very important person in my life that I know has been into porn for over a year now. A couple months ago he said he would quit. Last week I asked him how he was doing with that, and he said he still watches it now and again.Yesterday I...
- The thread on here regarding stress management hits home with me and the financial stress that is overwhelming. Shirl38 mentioned it a few days ago and I feel that we are not alone in feeling it is vastly overwhelming. I know that GA frowns on...
- Anyone else as tired as I am of all the casino commercials that air - or is that just a Michigan thing? Constantly Gun Lake Casion, FireKeepers Casino and Soaring Eagle Casino ads are being run. Especially at news time. It is enough to make you...
- I have been debating whether to share this or not. I feel like maybe I post too much as I really would like to listen (read) and learn. However, this just keeps popping up in my mind, so I guess I will put it to paper (screen).For months I was...
- The last couple of threads have really gotten me thinking, once again. Which is good. TheNewWay said it so well i think on her post "Desire to Gamble". It was - "I believe that I literally trained my mind and body to respond to stress, any...
- Twenty seven years ago I had all but left the Catholic Church - I was angry, hurt and definitely had gone astray. I had lost my Dad, I had been raped, and everything that I believed in at that time was taken away from me. At that time I was...
- Wow - TheNewWay's post on "Does the Bible Condemn Gambling" really got me thinking. The part of coveting another person's "stuff". She posted: "Centuries later, the apostle Paul repeated this command for Christians: You must not covet. (Romans...
- After going back to the casino, again last week, I once again became extremely depressed and suicidal. As I became more and more agitated, the harder I prayed to God for relief. Our internet was out, so no DS. I began to question myself on how...
- I have struggled the last few days as to whether I wanted to come back and tell you once again that I threw it out the window and went back to the casino. It is embarassing, and makes me question my own ability to conquer this without some type of...
