Bettie I am so happy you are taking care of yourself. When we are gambling we tend to forget about that. I have been taking inventory over the past month and there are so many personal things I’ve let go. I went to the dentist yesterday and it’s been a long long time. I need to focus on losing some weight myself, I could lose 30-40 pounds and still not be where I want to be. I wake up every morning with a smoker’s cough and have been telling myself for years that it’s time to quit. Perhaps this is the time – I’m cranky from not gambling, why not go whole hog? I haven’t bought any nice cloths or done my makeup properly in so long either. My sole focus was on getting to the casino each day, and NOTHING was going to deter me or take up any of my time. Thank you for reprinting your post, it means alot to me that you took the time to find that for me and it did sink in. I’ve wasted so many years of my life to this addiction and I’m getting too old to waste anymore. – Deb
