Hi Levi! I’m happy to see that you’ve moved on from your last "blowout." Incredible the financial damage we can do in a short period of time.Two months wages in one sitting must feel really demoralizing. What were you thinking and feeling before you made the decision to gamble? The most recent realization I had was that every single reason I could come up with to gamble was an excuse. This has helped me tremendously in my recovery. Also that it does take some self-discipline on my part. I have to tell myself no when those thoughts and urges come. I never learned delayed gratification so now I’m having to learn this life lesson. Happy Recovery Day! Carole
