    • You will do it Lenor. I’ve prayed to God to help me also. I don’t go to church but I view the world as Gods chapel.
      I’m having a difficult time finically also right now. Unfortunately mostly business induced. I’ll get through it though. If I continued to gamble. I see nothing but loses so I’m staying away.

      God Bless

    • Hi Lenor….Look….whenever you take on something that’s hard it’s inevitable that at some point you are going to want to as you say, “give up on everything.” That’s totally normal. I call those times in my life “fuck it moments” where I just want to throw in the towel. It’s pushing buttons in you and that’s actually a good thing because it mean…[Read more]

    • Lenore peace be with you

    • Hi Lenore. Sounds like you are having a bad time. Lenore you’re not alone with that. I can’t say much for fear of someone that I know recognizing who I am. I’m going through a tremendously hard time. Have been for awhile. I think I could write a book. But when I really think about it. Whatever so many people have struggles with family the loss…[Read more]

    I’m going to make this CLEAR! no one should be on here throwing shades at other people some comments should be kept to yourself everyone handles their addiction different. GA is a wonder program but does not always work for EVERYONE!! I’m not going to stay on here for someone to act like they know everything and know how to fix everyone’s…[Read more]

    • Lenor I’m really sorry too hear you were upset by what someone said. From what I’ve noticed of you you’ve been attempting too help and support others.

    • Hi Lenor
      Sorry you are feeling this way.
      I know in my early days of recovery I know I was very sensitive and people comments and opinions on my recovery would upset me.
      Today when talking / chatting with others I take what I need and leave the rest.
      Hope you will have a change of heart and continue to visit here.

    • Lenor I went too a couple of GA meetings. I don’t know if it was my frame of mind at the time but I found I couldn’t relate. I didn’t truly give it much of a chance in saying that. It’s good that GA meeting exist it’s another avenue and in the back of my mind I know they are there which I find comforting. I am too date doing okay without t…[Read more]
