Hitting bottom I have listened to so many stories about gambling addicts hitting bottom and ruining their families financial future, their careers and nearly ending their own lives. How would someone who hasn’t hit bottom and managed to preserve career and remains with family relations intact, be accepted and allowed to participate in GA meetings? My state has recently passed legislation to legalize gambling, and several casino resorts will be constructed by 2023. I know that I will need much support staying away from those resorts. I will be nearing retirement by the time the resorts are constructed, and I don’t want to hit bottom at retirement age. There is very little GA activity in my region, but I anticipate that the need for GA will skyrocket once the casinos open. I live in Virginia. Any advice appreciated.
Hi William, please reach out to Jeff who is more knowledgable about the situation in America, his email is JoinUs@dcgp.org I really recommend speaking with him.
@@THEINVISIBLEADDICTION Thanks for the advice. I sort of connected with Jeff. I know that my situation is very low priority given that I am not in a downward spiral. My heart goes out to all who have hit bottom. Such horrible life experiences for many people who had no idea what they were up against.
alex its great you do these podcasts and i listen to them all but dont feel bad when i say you need a bit more experience in interviewing you need to ask more about the person your interviewing you run out of questions too quick sorry to state this but this is based on my own experience in interviewing
