There’s GA meetings everywhere. I live in California but traveling in Colorado at the moment. Going to a GA meeting tonight. Not feeling strong urges to gamble but I know it’s good to fellowship with others in recovery!
Thank you for your videos. I’m trying to stop and have a super supportive partner. Went to the pokies today, stayed an hour and called my partner to say I’m not enjoying this anymore I’m done. Your face was playing in my mind. You never know the one person your video might reach. Thank you from Australia 🙏
Thank you for such a lovely comment. I'm so pleased the videos have been of some help and you've got a supportive partner. That's fantastic. Thanks for supporting the channel 😁
The reason we make the first bet is because we are powerless. We are powerless to stop ourselves from placing the first bet at certain times. If we can stop placing the first bet we won't place the second and we won't have a problem with gambling. My understanding of the first step is that we are going to gamble again even though we know we can't and shouldn't. We will because we lack power at certain times to stop ourselves. If we can't stop ourselves we are destined to repeat the mistake of the first bet time and time again because we are powerless to stop it from happening. Our life is unmanageable because we have lost the power to choose if we gamble again or not. If we fully comprehend the fact that we can't rely on our mind to beat this due to our problem centering within our own thinking, we have to ask ourselves are we willing to Believe something other than our own power can restore us to sanity around the question of gambling? If we are we are at step 2 . I don't know if this makes sense but I hope it helps. We are powerless before we place the first bet which is why we place the first bet time and time again

It is without doubt OCD and the brain becomes hardwired to repeat the process even when you know the pain involved.
Your video helped me. Thank you 🙂
Step 1
I am powerless over gambling after I take that first bet
I have tripped over that step many times
I am tired of repeating the same mistake
