I came across your profile in the yahoo chat on CG. It doesnt seem
many people post there. I am a compulsive gambler, been in & out of
GA for over 10 years and just had a relapse. I am looking for
sommeone who I can correspond with-I think it may help, in addition
to going back to GA.

If you are still interested in helping fellow CG, email me back. Thnx.
