Thank you Vera , Fritz, P and Monique
Today I am going to make sure I have no bank cards available .. Strangely for a CG I am safe with cash.. I have never allowed myself to go to a casino where I live. I associate it with huge shame so I have never went that first time.. So when payday comes I will withdraw spending money for the month and make sure all cards are unavailable.
I have always had enough money in life . I went from a comfortable home to a good career . I was very comfortable financially until I became addicted to gambling .
I therefore am going to disagree with the myth ” the best things in life are free”
You can only access the joy o these things when you are not stressed out about the lack of money . A nice walk along the beach is free so Long as you can afford the £20 to get you there by bus or car, So long as you have been able to afford comfortable shoes for walking , so long as you have been able to quell the anxiety over money for long enough to plan it .
I don’t believe we need excess money to be happy , but without adequate it very difficult to find that joy in free things .
Maybe this is a lesson I was meant to learn .. I don’t know … Even sitting in your house watching a movie is great when you have heAt, electricity and a tv licence ..
Money is freedom. It gives you the security to enjoy life … And it is the first thing that gambling takes from us ..lack of money cause all kinds of problems .. Money is the root of all evil.. Not necessarily having too much … It could just as easily be having too little !
