Gosh, no–I am in Ohio! Of course, if you are ever over this way, do let me know..Trying to start a group is a brave thing..Could you put an ad in the local paper with a response to an email or PO Box or something? I am sure there are people out there but would want to remain anonymous at first anyway…and maybe you could reach people a little further away..I know an older man who started a group here and the people in the group are so grateful to him..
Yes–I am so relieved I am banned from that casino…I am off work today and otherwise I KNOW I would be entertaining the thought of going somewhere far..There is one more casino 3 hours away that I used to love..I banned myself but for a year only and could go back if I wrote a ltter to them…so that is my next challenge….Barriers do work..I really wish there were someone I could turn all my money over to but there is nobody..I am really fine with money in all other areas, but if I have extra I will always think about the casino.
It’s such a shame..I work so hard …Besides working at an assisted living facility 3 days per week, I sell antiques and other things on Ebay–have been doing so since 98..Sometimes, I do very well but I hustle like crazy…very labor intensive…all to blow it in one day in a casino…madness!
The boyfriend thing is another story…yes, it’s been hard…I don’t think we were meant to be for many reasons but I miss him..I really think a lot of the breakup had to do with my gambling…and some other lost realationships (girlfriends) are a result of that as well..I become a different person around the gambling…not someone I like..
So, off to an auction right now…Have a nice day and hopefully an easy one…I am starting day 2 and thankfully am busy all day :).
