It is a very hard thing to do, to admit that we have very little control over ourselves when it comes to gambling. Your niece is a good person to help in your recovery like this. As the money comes in, it will give you piece of mind that your urges won’t deplete the hard work you have put in. Gambling is such a waste. We work and work and then like some kind of zombie, just hand over it all for some short term thrill. Good for you for putting a stop to yourself! I have done the clean up you are talking about. I found the bags/ boxes of junk in the back of my closet where my husbband shoved them from last year. Now, I ask you, if it could sit that long without my needing any of it….How much did I need to save it to begin with???
