Dear Bettie! Glad to hear that you’re feeling better, and are going to be able to buy yourself a "reward." It is true that most, if not all of us, do go through low emotional times, and they can last a while. But I remember feeling worse than low every day when I was actively gambling. I started a gratitude journal where I write down 5 things about what I’m grateful for daily. I wish I could say I write in it every day, but there are days I’m busy with everything non-gambling related. I find that if I focus on the positives, then that becomes the big picture. Even with my hubby, I focus on what he is, as opposed to what he isn’t. Did I mention that my ticket to Chicago is non-refundable?? I already told the excutive director that I needed those days in April off. Carole
