How’d payday go? I hope you were able to treat it just like the last ten, just another day.
Be good to hear how it went. I know that even the strongest of us can find the temptation too much at first.
Whatever today has brought you, it’d be good to know. And it’s not such a good thing to go to your counselling assessment whilst bottling things up, however trivial, It’s good to talk. Sometimes it can take a while to get a reply, but the most important thing, I think, is to get things off your chest.
I don’t think for a minute you’ve been gambling, I don’t sit and ponder these things. But I know some people do, especially in the first month or two, and, as you know some after several months. When people do unfortunately end up gambling they usually find it too embarrassing or feel a sense of shame. I used to think people just expected me to fail. I expected me to fail most times. I probably wanted to fail sometimes too. Whether through a sense of shame, or not wanting to hear the same advice again, we avoid rather than tackle. Lots of people stop posting, when you do post its usually earlier in the day, just with it being payday thought I’d look in and was a bit suprised you hadnt posted.
The madness that is compulsive gambling!
Your posts have been positive and encouraging this week, remember how you felt selling your belongings..a big difference to then. Such a big difference in just two short weeks, well ten individual todays.
Keep talking…it’s good to talk.
