Thanks for your post P. We can get through the urges. It is so easy to get sucked back into the gambling. I am making every effort not to go there again. Today I am being tested again. I am letting stress get to me and not to fall prey to gambling urges. I know how to fight them and what to do. My youngest Daughter call this morning with her drama. Her boyfriend left her and now the woman whom she was house sitting for wants her to move asap so she can lease out her condo. I know that I don’t know the whole story as she only tells me what she wants me to hear. My first inclination was to get a hotel room or kitchenette for her. Yes, I can do that but I am enabling her and she is still going to have the same problems as she is not doing anything to straighten out her life. She has friends that she can probably stay with as that is what she has been doing for years. It is just hard and heartbreaking to think that your child might be homeless. I know she is a adult but she is my baby. I am trying to stay strong and not enable her. It just tough. I am not going to let this cause me to gamble. I will be strong! I did have a good morning. I went and worked out even though I didn’t feel like it. I had lunch with my Mother and now I am at home getting things packed to go to the city tomorrow. I can’t change anyone else but myself.
