This is a great site, Riverdale,
B U T
It’s up to us to use the bag of tools they give us.
In my experience, CGs need to learn how to balance our lives. I have met a lot of “all or nothing” people here. We (me, for one)are either stoney broke or we are “flush”. Either down in our boots, or elated. Either 100% into gambling , or 100% into Recovery.
Finding a happy medium one day at a time helps, I think.
I don’t say this as a judgement about any member here. It is just something I have noticed. As people move down the lane of recovery , mellowness sets in.
I hope and pray Gordon House will be the answer to your gambling problem. This Christmas may not be a “rich” one for you but wherever you stay, I’m sure help with preparing food, washing up and chatting to everyone will be a welcome present. There are things in Life that no money can buy. Sadly we tend to forget about them whether we are “up” or “down”.
Best wishes in recovery!
