Reading your last post reminds me of what I am going through. I have finally reached the point in my life where the happiness I have without gambling, far outweighs the rush that gambling allows. I recently changed jobs and am earning half as much as I used to. However, since I don’t gamble anymore, I feel better off financially. Looking back it pisses me off that I didn’t save when I made, but it is not healthy for me to look back at what could have been…I choose to look forward to what is going to be, and knowing that I am not gambling today –(easiest way for me to stay true, one day at a time)–life is good. Time heals all wounds, and things will get better…as long as we don’t make them worse!! Congratulations on being strong, and staying away, this is a rough time to make the right choice, and you are doing great!
