Hi Akapmat
maybe I am not doing as well as I thought I was! Now that’s something I didn’t say and also don’t believe. In fact I believe the opposite and one day your tell me why
I think you have to look at what the word recovery means to you. We can all do the lip service & barriers, clear debts even stop gambling for a while but is this recovery, to me it’s not. Recovery is about moving along slowly, finding the parts we enjoy, living a life not an existence. So often I read and talk to folk who can write about recovery but in reality they still miss the one vital point… has life improved. It’s not a game, it’s not a rush, it’s even fun & I certainly won’t say it’s easy but I know it’s worth it
ok, so you work 7 days a week, do you think that’s leaving you enough time to convert all the recovery theory into practice, have you considered that actually working this many hours is in fact a trigger and may stop you finding the time you need to work recovery ? How much true social time.. YOU time do you get a week? not much by the sound of it
You wrote "The emotional, physical and social destruction of working all those hours for nothing after losing it all is something I want to avoid at all costs" but also wrote "I enjoy work and being busy"
Now I understand this well…. so I have a question. If you keep on pushing yourself hard to repay debts, not give yourself YOU time, watch sports you gamble on; how long will you last before you push the self destruct button? at which point id have to question… why bother working at all when you’ve nothing to show for it?
I want to reiterate "In fact I believe the opposite, I believe you’re doing well "but there’s an expression… You can do everything you think is right but you may be able to do less of something better with greater results25 year poker player, 25 year Hierarchal fool, 25 year ego boost… Intellectualisation was my down fall, simplicity was my salvation
