Hey ((( Watts )))
Why not describe yourself as a Grateful Recovering Compulsive Gambler
One Day At A Time. Have a great afternoon.

Something to think about...
Posted on 05/07/08, 01:50 am
Funny thing happened for me just now..... I thought I would update my profile the "about me" section to be more personal and not related to my gambling addiction. I stared blank at the screen... I can't think of a way to describe myself anymore. This addiction has got me good.. I'm not sure who the heck I am and I can't seem to think of any true hobbies. I look forward to the day when I can answer the "about me" question with something other than "gambling addict, with no real hobbies".

I always wondered what all those letters after your name meant Ken, You have deserved each and every one of those!!!
I understand how you feel Sophie but it will come back to you. Your passions, your joy. I am the same a littl clouded at the moment and just writing my thoughts down is a huge effort. Tomorrow will be different if I make it different.

Hi Sophie--I think what you are describing ends up being almost universal in most of us cgs....any interest we ever had pales as we fall under under the spell of gambling. I have recently rediscovered the pleasure I used to have in reading and singing....it helped me to just think back about what I "used" to enjoy....and just try it out again...we are in the process of rebuilding and transforming ourselves....and this is going to take time! As we get more and more time GF, I think we will rediscover life...the life we really want to live....Wishing you hope and strength in your recovery...Dianne -

RECOVERING Gambling addict :) Eager to become a better person. Full of experiences on how NOT to gamble. But, seriously, I understand how you feel. I know I have to start filling my time with good things in my life. Fun things. Family things. Loving things. Real things. Good things. Sounds easy, I know... I also know, it's not. Little by little I'm learning to be my own best friend. I'm making sure that doesn't include becoming selfish. Recovery isn't always easy..ups and downs. Recovery is better than dying out there, gambling our brains out.
