Still gamble free, but if you physically can’t get there that’s a big help.
So happy for you Kathryn. Truly! You deserve great things to look forward to. You have really stuck to your guns in recovery. That grand-baby you can totally focus on instead of how to pay the bills cause last pay went in the pokies! The great relationship you have with your daughter instead of rushing off to gamble. Just imagine how different things would be right now if you had never stopped gambling all those years ago now. Be proud, you have built this new gamble free life one day at a time.

Life is quiet right now for me with lots of waiting for tests and results and specialists. This is causing a bit of an upheaval in my relationship as my partner finds it an inconvenience to deal with an ill person. Who knew! I’m glad he thinks he will always be in perfect health and never have to rely on anyone!

I am having a hard time focusing on anything these days but it would be a good time to work the steps and focus on my addiction. It tends to go to sleep or lay low when I can’t go for long periods of time. And then wham, first opportunity down the road it will sneak up and bite me. And make up for lost time.
