Thanks for posting to my thread, Mav! I’m delighted to see you are getting through every day without gambling, despite your difficulties. The number of days changes every 24 hours, so all we have to do is get through today! Seems like a very obvious statement, but that’s how it works. Keep it simple. Try not to allow yourself to become overwhelmed with “Life’s Issues” . You can’t solve every problem that presents itself. Some times its best to let things go over your head or walk away. I know when it comes to rearing children we need to be supportive and protective. I fought many a battle for my kids during their formative years and when I look back now, I think in some ways I took their independence and prevented them from growing up. I also got caught up in “issues” ( my own and others , that, in hindsight, I may have been better off to walk away from . In later life, I gambled to escape from some of those memories and indeed often used situations to deflect from my gambling. Don’t know if I’m making sense, but these thoughts come to me often, when I read your thread!
Gambling complicated our lives , Mav. We both know that!
