A re-introduction

27 October, 2008 - 2:42pm - Mandain

Hi,

I've been an on and off user of this site for several months now. It's always been difficult for me to stay. And I'd convinced myself before that I didn't need what this site provided and that it was of no use. Then, last week, I took a close friend of mine to a Gambler's Anonymous meeeting. After sitting through this meeting, I realized that recovery doesn't just happen by going to meetings; you have to make it happen. And, if you have a group supportive of your actions, that makes it so much easier. It isn't just "take" either, you have to give back to the community.

I think I'm going to try and stay this time. At GA, they have weekly meetings for members which show up in person to talk about thier problems. If they can do that, why can't I post something everyday on this site? That's going to be my new goal. I think I'll be back :)

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks for the kind words everybody! :)

My biggest problem this year has been school. I started going back in order to try and finish. Overall, I think I expect too much of myself; I end up taking difficult courses which makes it harder for me to finish assignments. At the beginning of each semester I do ok, but eventually I let my work build up to the point where I cannot finish in the time given to me. As a first step, I think posting on these forums will help, and maybe I'll be able to salvage this semester in school.

Ditto!

Hi, Mandain. I haven't been here in a while either and logged in today with the same idea, so I'm glad to see this post here!

Today I'm determined that during the hours I'm setting aside to work (8 to 12 and 1 to 5), I'll only do things I've already decided to do. Posting here was the first thing. Now that I've done that it's off to the "next actions" folders to see what's next.

welcome back mandain
