I have been reading alot of everyones posts and the one thing I see there are two kinds of people on here. Happy people who have lots of sobriety and very sad people who are coming here because they are still gambling or trying to quit. Which one do you want to be?

" How is it funny???? It's really easy to stand by and be smug but relapse happens and sometimes to the most committed CG. I don't see anything humorous or funny in it what so ever. Here we are a community of people who truly are serious about dealing with our gambling problems we don't need judgement. It's pretty obvious we all want to be gamble free. This comes one day at a time. "

" I did not mean funny as in humerous. I use funny anytime I see something that catches my attention. As in, "It's funny that today was sunny but yesterday was rainy." Trust me I have been that sad person not long ago about lets say 10 days ago. All I am trying to say is that I want to be gamble free and happy. I like all of you have relapsed many times over. I didn't see any judgement in my post at all did you? Did I say the sad people where not as good as the happy people? Don't you want to be one of the happy gamble free people? I do and I am like you said one day at a time so today I am happy. If you are sad about the gambling then I want you to be happy. Or a leader of a cult like captain if that makes you happier than gambling. Anything but the gambling right because that makes us ultimately miserable. Gotta have some humor in your life no matter what. "
