Dear Cat
Thank you for your post. I wasn’t whingeing – I just know that anybody who plucks up the courage to come on this site has the strength and ability to change their life and it doesn’t take ‘me’ to tell them. I love cheering people on but sometimes feel I am unable to give enough.
Cat – you ‘are’ living a gamble-free life – not working towards it. There is no shortest or longest stretch to a life-time – you don’t know how long it is going to be. You will know tremendous happiness as you live gamble-free, with time to care about yourself and money to spend on things that will bring ‘you’ joy and not feed the fats who live off the addiction of others.
I can see and hear a gamble-free life being lived in my family and it is amazing. You are amazing.
Don’t let 7 months be a goal to beat – just for today.
It must be comforting when urges come to know that you have others walking with you – I love walking with you. I seldom get time to write in ‘My Journal’ anymore but I do read and I love to hear the positive strength that pours out from so many.
To overcome an addiction makes you a very special person. Carry on enjoying your gamble-free life.
Velvet
