Thanks for your input Charles. I guess you’re right on many levels, but let’s just say I’ve decided to spare my wife the anger (and spare myself having to deal with it of course) for now at least. If I never gamble again I will probably be ok in a couple of months. That (that I will never gamble again) is in no way certain, but I want to give myself a shot at it.
#3 going relatively good. I had some money hit my bank account today, but I immediately paid some January bills in order to get rid of it and not be tempted.
I’d really like to get to the point, as I wrote in my previous post, where I won’t have any cravings to gamble, rather than fight the urges all the time. I did think about gambling for a moment today and I didn’t give in. But I’d love to get to the point where I won’t even have ANY desire to gamble whatsoever. Rather than exercising strong will and not giving in.
