Good morning Larry,
I am just on my second cup of coffee and enjoying catching up on some posts. Life has been rather hectic lately, dealing with teenagers who needed jobs and one who needed a car to get to a job. I can only imagine how frustrated I would have been at having my gambling time being taken up by such trivial things as shopping for a second hand car or work uniforms. I have a lot of paperwork to catch up on but then hope that life will settle again and allow a little more time for me. And a little more time for GT. It is good to know this life line is here and I will never untie it!
So how was Katie day at the circus? Sounds like a lovely holiday lol. I read your post on Vera’s thread and was surprised to hear that you were still mourning the loss of gambling, and perhaps flirting with the consequences of re opening this damaging one sided warped relationship. A beach with no casino sounds like a better plan and glad Vera was around to light a spark. Why I’m surprised I don’t know. I should know better when it comes to the draw of this addiction. Of how our minds play games with us to get what it wants subconsciously. I’m so glad that you are rooted in recovery. For me it has been somewhat easy to forget the affects it had on my life. Thanks for sharing your story Larry, it reminds me that I must remember the devestation of gambling. And, you remind me that there is so much joy to be found in life when we stop gambling long enough to see it. I hope you have a great gamble free day my friend.
take care,
Laura
