Thanks for your posts Bettie and Pp. Yes I need to focus one day at a time. I got through the weekend without any urges to go back and recover my losses. The guilt and disappointment I felt is the same as the previous time when I lost a lot. I have decided when I feel the urge to veggie in front of a poker machine, force myself to go shopping and buy something for myself or the grandkids. I will try and prolong any action on my urges. I feel confident again, my resolve is strong, I can do this.
I gambled on Friday because 1. I had the time. 2. I had some money in my purse. 3. I thought I was in control.
I didn’t go to win money. I was only going to play $20 low credits, have a glass of wine, go home. Dangerous thinking on my part. Strength and courage
