Hi all,
I just checked my account and guess what? I got the distribution I was looking for from my retirement plan! I will not, not, not NOT go to the casino today! I have to get a cashier check to avoid forclosure. That will be done TODAY! My car has to go to the shop and I need my licence plates.
Need to go to my pt job. I will call my daughter, set up barriers for tonight, get this money spent on the "right" things today and avoid temptation. "Just 100.00"keeps rolling through my head.
Need to move, my resolve is strong today, I can’t ask for more that. Strong for today, that is a blessing. Need to count that blessing!

ps. another barrier to think about. I am a banker and we can set your debit card to purchase only, or change your limit to $50 for cash. Mine used to be 2000,00 cash! I almost spent all of that once at the casino so my limit now is 500.00. Need to change that to 50.00 when I go back on Friday. You can also "opt out" so you can’t overdraw. I used to see customers come in overdrawn , debit after debit, for 20-40 dollars. We charge $37.00 for each one. I had no mercy and never reversed a fee. I figured that if they could pay the casino they could pay the bank.( maybe I didn’t want to be an enabeler??) I never thought that one day that would be me!
