Life has been very frustrating for me for the last 3 days. Job, relationships, problems etc. Last night and this morning I found time to give thanks. It really helps. I also am focusing on praising the Lord.
Second, I printed out the Feb 18th Armor of God thread which is already helping. That article quotes “Whatever is true, noble, right, p…[Read more]

i was considering putting almost all of my remaining money on a single roulette red or black bet. A win would make me even in my lifetime of gambling. A loss would kill me – suicide. I decided to heal my gambling addiction instead. i feel better. Thanks for listening/reading. I felt a desire to share my thoughts.

Is anybody from the Ottawa, Ontario area who would love to chat by texting. So we can help each other.

Whenever I find a device that doesn’t have the gamban on I use it before I place the ban on as my last chance to gamble before I ban the websites, I should stop doing that

A top ten habit for quitting is to analyze what to work on today. Firstly, if something is way out of whack like anger, work on that. Pound it out with Bible verses on anger (Verses anger).
Second, the Bible says: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is exc…[Read more]

FEBRUARY 22 Reflection for the Day
When I came to Gamblers Anonymous, I found people who knew exactly what I meant when I spoke finally of my fears. They had been where I had been; they understood. I’ve since learned that many of my fears have to do with projection. It’s normal, for example, to have a tiny backburner fear that the person I lov…[Read more]

Buggy we’re all in the same situation. We need to realize we’re never going to get our money back. We keep chasing more and more. We’re going to end up killing ourselves. We need stop it together right now. I joined this group first week of December. I said I was going to stop. I fell off the wagon 8 times. Lost so much money that I could buy a…[Read more]

FEBRUARY 19 Reflection for the Day
When people say rash or ugly things, we sometimes say they are forgetting themselves, meaning they’re forgetting their best selves in a sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury. If I remember the kind of person I want to be, hopefully I won’t forget myself and yield to a fit of temper. I’ll believe that the posit…[Read more]

I recommended the book Atomic Habits to help with quitting and my friend said, “Just watch the Youtube about the book.” This is an excellent suggestion if you don’t want to get the book. But it takes 65 to 100 days to form a new habit. So if today you say, “I will learn to pray “Father help me to run from triggers,” over the next 2-3 months. I…[Read more]

FEBRUARY 18 Reflection for the Day
We learn in Gamblers Anonymous that we cannot punish anyone without punishing ourselves. The release of my tensions, even justified, in a punishing way leaves behind the dregs of bitterness and pain. This was the monotonous story of my life before I came to Gamblers Anonymous. So in my new life, I’d do well to c…[Read more]
