An addict is what I am. 50 odd days GF but it's always lurking. I appreciate support I get on here. It's difficult at times for me to always return that support as people can be over sensitive and think every thing you write or post is a personal attack. How vulnerable and paranoid addiction makes us..I guess I need to maybe not reply. I'm a matter of fact tell it like it is person. I'm more comfortable with that. Im not good at patting and giving here there's. I'll have to work on that.
Sometimes it’s good to be told the things you don’t want to here.
a pat on the back is no good for anyone why in the grips of gambling
I dont think it's being vulnerable and paranoid.
People dont want patting and there theres they just want respect and chance to be heard when their struggling.
Mmm
Mmm
Thanks lifeline..appreciate that. At last someone that gets it.
A self absorbed person can only see faults in others
They are often colour blind to their own
Who ever the person that tries to bring you down is already way lower than you.
Agreed
Thanks jub great reply. I never would have thought that. I'll certainly be trying that.
Thanks all comments very much appreciated.
Chezzy,
Thank you too, we're all in this together. Sometimes opinions differ, sometimes opinions clash but at the end of the day I like to think we all share a common goal, to get to grips with an addiction every bit as powerful as a heroine addiction. I appreciate everyone's comments and opinions too & who knows what the future holds for any of us. I don't think creating a melting pot of different points of view is a bad thing, I believe all of our journeys are different. let's just hope we all reach our destinations safely.
As tenaciously we all continue to fight, the betting companies continue to pedal their false promises of how a big life changing win is just around the corner in the most aggressive manner. There will always be those who become addicted to these false promises. My hope for the future is we can collectively stem the tide of the next generation of CGs already being groomed & lead into a none existent promised land that we all never found & sadly some of us are still searching for.
Best Wishes
