    1. We admitted we were powerless over gambling - that our lives had become unmanageable.

    2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to a normal way of thinking and living.

    3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of this Power of our own understanding.

    4. Made a searching and fearless moral and financial inventory of ourselves.

    5. Admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

    6. Were entirely ready to have these defects of character removed.

    7. Humbly asked God (of our understanding) to remove our shortcomings.

    8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

    9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

    10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

    11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

    12. Having made an effort to practice these principles in all our affairs, we tried to carry this message to other compulsive gamblers.

    If you wagered on the Washington Nationals last night it is time to call. You are not only a gamblholic but you are now mentally ill. Sam please add the contact number for the suicide prevention society. Nat bettors will be jumping off bridges.

    Sammy I'm calling SBR Jonelyn right now and I'm going to ask her to remove your POTM and POTW badges.

    Real gambling leaders don't post crap like this.

    Have a good day!
