I did it!! Mood
Tuesday, May 6, 2008

No gambling for a whole month...i did it! 1st goal achieved..I wouldn't say it was easy, far from it some days but even though my financial situation is still diar at least i'm now paying the bills and dealing with the mess, albeit slowly and i'm far from being out of the woods, it feels good to know that i'm facing up to it all. If i had carried on gambling i would have definately been homeless now that would mean losing my business as well as i work from home and i dread to think what i would be doing. Thank you sooo much everyone for all your support cos i know i couldn't have done this without you, my friends and now i must make a new goal...I know 1 month don't seem that long but it's amazing how different i feel in every way. i sleep much better and the only really late nights i have are if i'm working and not playing online and i don't wake up in the morning with that desperation and hate for myself because i spent all the mortgage money the night before and i actually took a few hours off from work on sunday and took a walk round the shops with a friend, treated myself to a few clothes and a new watch and had some lunch...it felt great to do something so normal but i never had any money before to do anything, accept gamble. Funny how we could always find money for gambling isn't it!!

Love to you all......

    WTG, you made it the first month. Glad to see you are getting out of the fog. There is a whole wonderful life out there, once we get away from the gambling, other things seem to take on a whole new meaning. Congrats.

    Finding money to gamble...yeah, what a chore that was! And how stupid that was! Finding money to throw away... sacrificing what ever it took... sacrificing my soul. How sad and stupid, making things harder than they had to be. Thank God I don't have to live that way anymore! WE don't have to live that way anymore, it's OUR choice. We can change :) Beautiful, isn't it? New clothes & a watch...you go girl! Lots of love, Robin
