Hi Luke
"i am going to go to a meeting on wednesday. i need to go so i can stop."
Going to a meeting is a good step in the right direction BUT unless you REALLY want to stop gambling...you wont! The meeting is not going to MAKE you stop. It is an aid to you only. What you get out of it, and what you do with it is entirely up to you.
That being said, go to the meeting with an open mind, a willingness to at least listen, and above all else be HONEST. I don't mean be honest when'if you tell your story at the meeting.
Be honest with yourself. Do you really want to stop? If you do want to stop, then GA can help you.
It wont be easy, but many thousands have abstained from gambling thru the help of GA.
The first meeting can seem very odd/strange to newcomers. Do yourself a big favour and persist for at least 4 meetings. It does make sense!
Best wishes
Roy
