Vera I have to agree with you and love the way you compare it with chocolate……..I am all or nothing with everything I do…….eating chocolate included.
I have been to GA Vera many times but currently dont go for one reason or another, I will be totaly honest with you, I went to a local group and it was full of people who thought they were better than you and I, full of people who didnt care, no sense off help, no sense of support and full off clicky people (as we all experiance at times in our life) after going to this group all I wanted to do was come away and gamble, I went to another GA groupe about a 60 mile round trip for me every monday night and it was fantastic, lovley honest, genuine people who really understood, helped and cared, this is when I had the best time off my life and had a year gamble free in recovery, work comitments changed and I couldnf attend the monday night group any more and eventually slipped back into my old ways.
GA works if the right people (supportive people) are around you but it doesnt if they are not…………..pretty much like life, there are good people, bad people and the inbetween people……I have meet wonderful people at GA and also not so wonderful people at GA, thats life…………just for today I dont attend as I could only attend the group that I know is bad for me.
Vera my friend I hope this finds you well and perhaps we can share some chocolate sometime but not the whole bar!!!!, take care and will always wish you well.
