Hey Tyger79,

To be honest, it took me years to finally "get it" but I would much rather spend the time at a meeting trying to understand, than to go back to gambling.

One day at a time

Hi

I myself have only been to two meetings in a year.

My health issues would cause serious damage.

When I could not get to GA meetings I would call in to some AA meetings.

I would identify I was a member of GA and often found AA members were also involved with GA.

Once we stop talking about being in action of any unhealthy sort.

It was then I could talk at an emotional some what level about how vulnerable I was and ask some in depth questions.

I found often that meetings would cause more questions than answers.

Chats after meetings would go on for some hours.

Often on one to one basis.

Some people will feel threatened by people asking in depth some questions.

Getting lists of members are a great help when you feel vulnerable or are not sure how to deal with certain things.

Even to this day I stay in contact with members in England and I have not been there for over 17 years.

Any way do take good care of your self.
