    I don’t know how I developed an addiction. It started by just putting a few bucks into the slot machine (we now have them in every restaurant and bar in Illinois). I just don’t know how to stop before it’s too late. Any advice is much appreciated.

    • HI J
      Glad you are reaching out as many CGs never get help and end up at the gates of Insanity jail or death.
      Lots of recovery in the rooms of Illinois and so try and find a meeting and some counselling as this is a very tough addiction to try and arrest on our own. And if you are interested I send out two daily recovery focused messages. I find they help me get focused on the day ahead of me. If you want to try them please send me an email at ken.lambon@rogers.com. Hope you will keep posting and try visiting chat

    • For me, I used the 12 steps to beat it, one day at a time. I have to be free of fear, dishonesty, resentment or I will have a slip. Also have to help others and be of service.
