Hi Jonny
Thank you so much or your post and words of encouragement. I will certainly do the exercises as I have been an isolated couch potato for a long time. Alas, my children can only help in small ways. At my last relapse, I gave my middle son a certain amount of money every week when I was working. And alas he spent it but has nearly paid me back in a short space of time. I do not blame him for this. He also gambles, not to the insanity I did, but nevertheless it could easily make the switch. My daughters husband gave me 50 quid and my eldest son, who has recently become unemployed says he will buy food when I need it. I have been very reflective. I often wonder what life would have been like if I had role models or mentors. I have not had this in my life and have had to go through life virtually on my own without any wise counsel. I wonder how many people in life also share this and wonder what could have been if the right start in life and emotional support had been in place. One of the issues I will have is that there is no one at all who could manage money for me. None of my family have enough and it would be very shortsighted of me to repeat the same mistake as despite their best efforts they are likely to spend it. Thanks again for your support.
