Hey Tina
Thanks for your post on my thread last week, you wrote some lovely things to me so thank you.
I havn’t been avoiding gt, I’ve just been busy and really havn’t had the time to post, although I’ve read plenty.
I think it was a close call you had a couple of weeks ago with the “free money” that’s how easy it is to get stuck right back in the mire so I’m obviously pleased it was a one off, and you didn’t follow it up with real money.
The lottery is gambling, no doubt about that. The thing is Tina there are no rules to recovery. I bought lottery tickets 3 times last January, the only difference that it’s made to my life is I wasn’t able to look back at 2017 and say it was a gamble free year. Because apart from that it was.
For me it has to be total abstinence, and in all honesty I think that should be the game plan for any problem gambler. Other people have other views and opinions. Although I would think once you have some manageable debt repayment plans in place, you won’t even consider trying to win money to pay your debts off. The debts are there, and yes it is a lot of money, but not unmanageable.
We’re only 6 hours into the New Year here, I’m parked up in my lorry for an hour of two and was determined to post back to you. Mission accomplished.
Happy New Year Tina, and thanks again for your lovely post.
