I joined this site 18 months ago, called the gambling hot line, joined GA, tried my willpower and after many fails and almost losing my family, I am happy to say today is day 150. My sleep is so much better, my anxiety level almost normal and I almost feel like my old self again. My finances are slowly getting better. My thoughts are on my future and my goals are for a better life. I am astonished how I lived with 100.00 in the bank after a weekend with no thought of anything could happen...to now I have savings for emergencies and almost fear if Imy bank account drops below a certain amount. I have 2 loans almost paid off. Trying not to use any credit cards and pay them down....if I stick to my budget, debt free house paid for in 24 months. My husband is glad his wise financial woman is back from the place where she almost lost it all. At my lowest, I quit my job because my nerves were shot, but a new job (even though salary is almost 1/3 less) I have been happier. Thank you for your support and friendship. I am thankful to have life...and I will do my best to continue to make it a Good Gamble free life. About to enjoy weekend getaway with family enjoying mountains and beautiful fall weather ....and for that I am truly thankful.
