Thank you Steev
I have talked a lot about how content I feel right now. I am re-building friendships and reaching out and developing new ones. I am so much more positive about life.
One thing which seems to shallow but is an absolute joy to me is checking my bank balance – it’s not a huge balance but it is enough to have an ok life.
For the last decade January has been a horror month – my brain never relaxed – it was so busy borrowing, counting , gambling , winning ,losing , checking sites on how to survive on no money (each of which suggested buying a supersize bag of pasta !)…
This month I have enough- I might even buy a few new cushions! I have organised a few treats like meeting friends for lunch. My body (well losing weight !) has become a priority after a decade of neglect.
Anyone who says money isn’t important has never seen the dark days of having no money ! Anyone who has a gambling addiction can stop and have a better life.
One of the highlights of my day is checking my bank balance – seeing a little money there is a better high than I ever got from gambling .
