Vera I read something you wrote about mindset – and while barriers help me with the automatic pilot stuff on the phone , you idea of mindset has helped me most .
In group someone asked me will I gamble when I am home ? I replied no because I have decided not to – and it is as simple as that . When I go home I usually start planning to gamble the minute I decide to go . I attend groups and discuss how I will avoid it – all the time I am planning , the anticipation is building up and of course my mindset is set on going!
Well done Vera – I am so glad you are looking st your bags of presents instead of – not an empty purse but a purse full of misery !
You are doing really well !
