@Runninggirl: Congratulations to you too! We´re doing good! Almost 3 weeks now! I know all about moving the compulsion to another area in my life… Like you say it is all about finding a way to tolerate stress, anxiety and negativity without getting destructive. I also try to use music to soothe the inner pressure. Started playing piano a time back, and sometimes that works just to get my mind into something else, and to channelize my feelings. Going to a spa sounds like just the thing to do!! After years of gambling many of us has deprived ourselves of more constructive pleasures and treats because there just haven´t been any money for it… That´s one of the things I´m starting to appreciate now: I can buy clothes, and I can eat lunch at a café! Hope you have a relaxing time at the spa, and a nice gamblingfree rest of the weekend.
@Libbie: Yes, I feel I´m in a good track. I´m not giving away any more of my money! I´ve been running a “charity” here for years; just giving away everything I earn (and I know I need the money more then the people getting them!) Glad to hear your back in the track! Let´s keep walking together 🙂
