Someone who wanted to stay gamble free realize
The paradox of recovery: To keep it, you have to give it away.
It is based on one helping another.
One found another and together they stay gamble free for each other.
we learn to give away what we have received and learned in this forum.
we shared with all who have the same desire… that brought us together in this forum… to recover from compulsive gambling…by sharing in this journal, we get to keep the ability to say „No” to any craving and temptation that the addiction can throw at us…or else we may place the first bet.
to gamble would cause us to lose our sanity; a priceless and precious gift that was given to us.
only when we are ready, we begin to believe and accept a power greater than ourselves in this forum, ever reminding us, that by ourselves we are powerless over our addictions.
today I read…
Keep yourself empty like a vessel for God to fill.
Keep pouring out yourself to help others so that God can keep filling you up with His spirit.
The more you give, the more you will have for yourself.
God will see that you are kept filled as long as you are giving to others.
To be clear, a lake must have an inflow and an outflow.
If you selfishly try to keep all for yourself, you are soon blocked off from your source of supply and become stagnant.
