Day 58, still haven’t gambled, therapy is life changing but it’s a marathon not a sprint with that.
Christmas is looming and although i have managed to get people gifts and i am trying to manage money carefully it is still going to be a tough time, i love this time of year for gambling, maybe i just use it as a way to hide from the fact that i christmas can be a lonely time, i mean when i gamble i like to be totally isolated so the two fit hand in hand…seemingly. Anyway this year i am going to embrace the loneliness and use it to as a reason to start building relationships up again.
Also my car needs some unexpected maintenance work this week, i panicked and thought my only option was to gamble, even went and withdrew the money but i took some time out, went home, phoned a few companies to try and give me a months grace on the bills and enough of them agreed which covers the cost of a big chunk of the bill.
not a solution a can probably use again but the fact that i found one without gambling is a win for me.
ironically i would have found 3 times the amount of the bill had i been chasing a losing bet.
today i did not gamble and i hope everyone is taking good care of themselves, especially at this time of year
