Happy New Year RDB!
I read your “Appeal” for early entry into GMH for residential treatment. I just hope the Powers that Be took note. You sound as if you are ready to take all they have to offer.
Gambling can only take what we give it . I have given it too much. ‘Seems as if you are in a similar position to some extent.
For 2016 , I intend giving gambling NOTHING!
I did that in 2010, so I know I can do it, as can everybody here on this site.
Saying “no money is the only reason I’m not gambling” is a bit self deprecating ,Riverdale! There is more to it than that. Let’s face it if we really want to gamble we WILL get money. Think about it. It’s clear that you WANT to stop. Keep that uppermost in your mind. The thought of gambling crossed my mind an hour ago. I could see an opportunity to go later tonight BUT I quickly shut off the thought and replaced it with “I won’t be gambling. It’s 2016”!
“Just because the monkey jumps off your shoulder, doesn’t mean the circus has left town” though, so stay aware! Keep posting.
