Congratulations on twenty five years of helping each other to a life of happiness without gambling in your life or family.

It is basically through trying to help each other that God helps each of us.

For many years before I joined GA in Omaha, Nebraska in 1978, I tried many ways to stop gambling, and daily prayed to God to help me to stop gambling.

It was only after we started GA and Gam Anon in Korea in 1984 that I was able to stop gambling and live the happy, normal life that God wants me to live.

Gambling was a terrible addiction for me from the time I first gambled when I was four years old, matching pennies with my father. Maybe it was even from the time I was born, because I think that many addicted gamblers are born with the sickness. I think it is sometimes basically a physical problem as well as an emotional problem.

I have not gambled for almost twenty four years. It was very difficult to stop gambling. But for many years I never have any more big temptations to gamble. This is due to God¡¯s help, the GA twelve step program and the weekly meetings.

The most important part of the program is the first step of recovery that says we are powerless to stop gambling, whether we are winning or losing.

We must learn to accept this step 100%. If a person accepts it only 99%, he or she will soon think that winning much money would be a good thing and the temptation will be too strong and gambling will follow.

An addicted gambler must realize that winning a great amount of money is a bad thing because he is powerless to stop no matter how much money is won. In a short time all the money and happiness is completely lost again.

So, again, congratulations to all in GA and Gam Anon in Korea. I hope to meet all of you at the big celebration on June 13 and 14, 2009
