    That is a big accomplishment Liz!! OMG well done. I know Kathryn will give a great big thumbs up when she reads. Banning is a pretty good barrier to keep you out! You are a very resourceful person Liz. You will get through this. If I was there I’d give your hand a good squeeze. Here’s to better days ahead. You are all healthy and that is a great blessing to *****. Have a good night Liz. Oh, and I hope it feels good to know you just gave our addiction a good kick square you know where. Take care,
    Laura

    To je veliko postignuće Liz !! OMG bravo. Znam da će Kathryn dati veliki palac kad čita. Zabrana je prilično dobra prepreka koja vas sprječava! Vi ste vrlo snalažljiva osoba Liz. Prebrodit ćeš ovo. Da sam tamo, dobro bih te stisnuo. Evo boljih dana pred nama. Svi ste zdravi i to je veliki blagoslov za *****. Laku noć laz. Oh, i nadam se da je dobar osjećaj znati da ste našoj ovisnosti upravo dali dobar udarac, znate gdje. Čuvaj se, Laura

    thankyou for posting Liz! I did have a good day although I had to push my self a little to get a couple things completed that just wouldn’t wait. I was sore from traveling. I’m waiting to see if anyone lands in group in the next few minutes and if not I’m going for a nap! Stay hopeful Liz. You can take the steps that you need! It is never to late to change things!

    I have just seen this post now Monica. Thanks for sharing some of your story with me. We have a lot in common. My partner didn’t end the relationship when I’ve had many health issues but he is only supportive when and if he feels like it, which isn’t often. He’s very much into himself and his way of life. In a lot of ways it suits me to stay married but at other times I feel he causes me more problems then help. Anyway, for a group some time. I’ve tried many things for my back. Tens included. I’d just like a new one. And you are right, it is ok to rest. Thanks so much for your post xo

    Hi IDI, piggy backing here. I have noticed you are gone and I miss your presence. But I read how you didn’t want to post anymore and how you are not into forums anymore. Makes it hard to connect while still honoring your wishes! When I started gambling again I wasn’t causing extreme financial damage overall. But it still chipped away and then there was an occasional blow out where I’d lose hundreds i couldn’t afford. I’m sorry things aren’t great. I’ll try and catch 10pm chat tonight. Take care, Laura

    Good morning Monica. I’m nursing my arthritic bones this morning! Winter cold is here! Minus 20 Celcius. Which is why we have full heat through the entire house. We would be huddled in bed all winter otherwise!

    The emotional ups and downs must be leaving you feeling exhausted. I hope you find some more positives in your day. If it’s warmer than -20 I’d ***** that! I’m looking at a couple of sad little birds clinging to my bird feeder. Poor dears.

    Have a good day Monica!

    Tajjeb Liz. Bħal ħafna minna b'din il-kompulsjoni żammejt blinders mixgħula waqt li kelli flus biex insostni l-logħob tal-azzard tiegħi. Ma ħassejtx l-uġigħ sħiħ tagħha sakemm laqat it-tmiem ta 'flus u kreditu tiegħi. Jien ippruvajt u niġġieledha hawn u hemm imma kien diffiċli. Nispera li kapaċi ssolvi xi ħaġa mal-finanzi tiegħek, sakemm ikollok aċċess faċli. Fejn hemm rieda hemm mod. Għandi fidi li se ssib xi ħaġa biex tpoġġi aktar ostakli bejnek u flusek. Bidla fil-konsulent jekk possibbli tinstema 'bħala pjan tajjeb ukoll. Kemm jista 'jkun diffiċli jekk jogħġbok taqtax qalbek mill-irkupru tiegħek Liz. Monica qed tagħti parir tajjeb dwar id-djun. Jista 'jkun hemm xi ħaġa li tista' tagħmel biex tiffranka lilek innifsek xi ftit mill-ħlas tal-karti ta 'kreditu ta' imgħax tfarrak. Ddejjaqni naħseb li jkollok tbigħ affarijiet għażiżin! Għaddi mill-vaganzi u mbagħad forsi tħares lejn pariri dwar il-kreditu biex tara jekk hemmx modi oħra. Ibqa 'tgawdi l-affarijiet tajbin bħan-neputija ċkejkna sabiħa tiegħek. Ibqa 'b'saħħtu Liz! Laura

    Dobro jutro Liz. Kao i većina nas s ovom prisilom držao sam rolete dok sam imao novca za uzdržavanje od kockanja. Nisam osjećao potpunu bol u tome sve dok nisam došao do kraja novca i kredita. Pokušao sam se tu i tamo boriti, ali bilo je teško. Nadam se da ćete uspjeti riješiti nešto sa svojim financijama, što se tiče lakog pristupa. Gdje postoji volja postoji i način. Vjerujem da ćete smisliti nešto kako biste postavili više prepreka između vas i vašeg novca. Promjena savjetnika ako je moguće zvuči i kao dobar plan. Koliko god ovo moglo biti teško, nemojte odustati od oporavka Liz. Monica daje dobre savjete o dugovima. Možda možete učiniti nešto kako biste uštedjeli dio terećenja kreditnih kartica za kamate. Mrzim misliti da morate rasprodati dragocjene stvari! Prebrodite blagdane, a zatim možda potražite kreditno savjetovanje da vidite postoje li drugi načini. Uživajte i dalje u dobrim stvarima poput svoje ljupke unuke. Ostani jaka Liz! Laura

    Jó reggelt Liz. Mint a legtöbben ezzel a kényszerrel, én is folytattam a szemellenzőmet, amíg volt pénzem a szerencsejátékom támogatására. Nem éreztem a teljes fájdalmat, amíg el nem értem a pénzem és a hitelem végét. Próbáltam harcolni itt -ott, de nehéz volt. Remélem, sikerül valamit rendeznie a pénzügyeivel, amennyiben könnyű hozzáférést biztosít. Ahol van akarat, ott van út. Bízom benne, hogy kitalál valamit, amivel több akadályt állíthat közte és a pénze közé. A tanácsadó megváltoztatása, ha lehetséges, jó tervnek tűnik. Bármennyire is nehéz ez, ne add fel a felépülést Liz. Monica jó tanácsokat ad az adósságokkal kapcsolatban. Lehet, hogy tehet valamit, hogy megmentse magát a bénító kamatú hitelkártya -terhelésből. Utálom, ha arra gondolok, hogy értékesítenie kell a kincseket! Élje át az ünnepeket, majd talán nézze meg a hiteltanácsadást, hátha van más lehetőség is. Élvezze továbbra is a jó dolgokat, mint a kedves kis unokája. Maradj erős Liz! Laura

    Good morning Liz. Like most of us with this compulsion I kept blinders on while I had money to support my gambling. I didn’t feel the full pain of it until I hit the end of my money and credit. I did try and fight it here and there but it was difficult. I hope you are able to sort something out with your finances, as far as having easy access. Where there is a will there is a way. I have faith you will figure something out to put more barriers between you and your money. A change in counselor if possible sounds like a good plan as well. As difficult as this can be please don’t give up on your recovery Liz. Monica is giving some good advice re the debts. There may be something you can do to save yourself some of the crippling interest credit cards charge. I hate thinking of you having to sell off treasured possessions! Get through the holidays and then maybe look at credit counseling to see if there is other ways. Keep enjoying the good things like your lovely little granddaughter. Stay strong Liz!

    Günaydın Liz. Çoğumuz gibi, kumarımı desteklemek için param varken bu zorlamayla kör oldum. Paramın ve kredimin sonuna gelene kadar tam acısını hissetmedim. Orada burada onunla savaşmaya çalıştım ama zordu. Umarım, kolay erişime sahip olduğunuz sürece, mali durumunuzla ilgili bir şeyler çözebilirsiniz. Bir iradenin olduğu yerde bir yol vardır. Paranızla aranıza daha fazla engel koyacak bir şeyler bulacağınıza inanıyorum. Mümkünse danışman değişikliği de iyi bir plan gibi görünüyor. Bu ne kadar zor olursa olsun, lütfen iyileşmenden vazgeçme Liz. Monica borçlar konusunda iyi tavsiyeler veriyor. Kendinizi felç edici faiz kredi kartı ücretlerinden kurtarmak için yapabileceğiniz bir şey olabilir. Değerli eşyalarını satmak zorunda olduğunu düşünmekten nefret ediyorum! Tatilleri atlatın ve sonra başka yollar olup olmadığını görmek için kredi danışmanlığına bakın. Sevimli küçük torununuz gibi güzel şeylerin tadını çıkarmaya devam edin. Güçlü kal Liz! Laura

    Bună dimineața Liz. La fel ca majoritatea dintre noi cu această constrângere, am ținut ochiuri în timp ce aveam bani pentru a-mi susține jocurile de noroc. Nu am simțit durerea deplină a acestuia până nu am ajuns la capătul banilor și al creditului meu. Am încercat și am luptat-o ici și colo, dar a fost dificil. Sper că puteți rezolva ceva cu finanțele dvs., în măsura în care aveți acces ușor. Unde există voință, există o cale. Am încredere că vei găsi ceva pentru a pune mai multe bariere între tine și banii tăi. O schimbare în consilier, dacă este posibil, sună și ca un plan bun. Oricât de dificil ar putea fi, vă rugăm să nu renunțați la recuperarea dvs. Liz. Monica dă câteva sfaturi bune despre datorii. S-ar putea să faceți ceva pentru a vă salva o parte din taxele cu carduri de credit cu dobândă. Urăsc să mă gândesc că trebuie să vindeți bunuri prețioase! Treceți de sărbători și apoi probabil căutați consiliere de credit pentru a vedea dacă există alte modalități. Continuă să te bucuri de lucrurile bune, cum ar fi nepoata ta minunată. Rămâi puternică Liz! Laura

    Good to hear from you Monica. Glad you are cuddled up on a cold day watching tv. You don’t deserve to be given less than survival money to survive on. Not pretending you aren’t between a bit of a rock and a hard place. And pixie dust and fairy tales isn’t going to solve real life problems. I just hope that in some little way we give you a little support. These are darn tough tough times for you and no one can say you aren’t paying your dues. I miss I did it also. She would probably have something good to say!

    I missed a few in group tonight 🙁 I’m always a little late

    Hi Valerie,

    I was just finishing a post to you and lost it. I can’ t imagine the pressure and stress you are feeling right now. Nor could I imagine having to try and pay for actual medical care. Add to that the viper of this addiction. It can take you worse places. Like jail. Scary stuff. I’m glad you posted and got this out. I wish I had wise solutions. Is there any way you can ban yourself from gambling? Or some way to tie up money? I’d hate to see this get further out of control.

    well done Tina! Another day under your belt. I’m glad he is being good to you. Great to have a councilor to use as as a sounding board. Stay strong 🙂 ~L
